What’s this?Close
The ten bodies astrology reads: the Sun, the Moon and eight planets. The planet says which part of a person it speaks for, the sign says how that part behaves, and the house says where in life it shows.
Sun in Gemini
The Messenger. Curious and many-sided.

The Remembering Mind. A memory for tone.
7°43′
Venus in Taurus
The Keeper. Slow, sensual and loyal.
4°36′

Beyond the planets
What’s this?Close
Points read beside the planets. The rising sign, or Ascendant, is the sign coming up over the eastern horizon at the minute of birth: the first impression. The Midheaven is the highest point of the sky: career and public life. The North Node is where the Moon’s path crosses the Sun’s: the direction a life grows in. Chiron, a small body between Saturn and Uranus, is a lifelong sore spot and the gift it leaves for others. Black Moon Lilith, where the Moon’s orbit swings farthest from Earth, is what a person keeps untamed.
North Node in Aquarius
The direction his life grows in: Aquarius, independent and original.
12°05′
Chiron in Gemini
In Gemini, Chiron is an old fear of not being heard, which becomes a gift for finding the words others lack.
5°07′
Black Moon Lilith in Cancer
In Cancer, Lilith is a fierce need to belong, and no wish to look after anyone on command.
25°18′
The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.
Aspects by strength
What’s this?Close
An aspect is a set angle between two bodies in the sky at birth. Some angles flow, some rub, and some fuse two bodies into one. The number is how far the angle is from exact: the smaller it is, the stronger the link.
Only the aspects that held from the first minute of the day to the last are shown; each figure is for noon.
Jupiter trine North Node close at 1.2°
Hope helps him grow: faith in what is possible keeps him moving forward.
The Moon square Mercury close at 1.4°
His head and his feelings argue: he knows what he thinks before he knows what he feels, or the other way round.
The Sun trine Jupiter close at 1.7°
His confidence comes easily and spreads: he thinks big, and other people want to come along.
Saturn sextile Uranus close at 1.8°
Old and new sit well together: he can change things without throwing out what works.
Mercury sextile Neptune close at 1.9°
He thinks in pictures and music: his words carry a mood, and his imagination gives his ideas colour.
Neptune quincunx North Node close at 2.4°
He grows by testing his ideals against real life, again and again.

The Sun trine North Node close at 3.0°

Mercury sextile Venus wide at 3.1°
A graceful mind: he speaks kindly and well, and he knows how to say a hard thing gently.
Mars square Saturn wide at 4.5°
Drive with the brakes on: he wants to move, something holds him back, and the friction makes him tough.
Venus conjunction Uranus wide at 4.6°
Love at first sight, and freedom after it: the different and the new win his heart.
Venus trine Neptune wide at 5.1°

The Sun square Neptune wide at 5.4°
The self he knows and the image others see drift apart at times, and he works to keep hold of the real one.
Mercury square Jupiter wide at 5.6°
Big ideas and loose details: he thinks on a large scale, and the small print is where things get away from him.
Uranus square Pluto wide at 6.7°
Upheaval and the urge to break free run strong, and he pushes for change rather than waiting for it.
