The chart, fact by fact
Planets
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 Aries
The Pioneer. First in, first to try.
11°54′
Moon in Gemini
The Moon moved from Gemini into Cancer at 6:59 p.m. that day, local time: in Gemini for a birth before then, in Cancer for one after.
26°20′
Mercury in Pisces
The Poet. Knowing without explaining.
14°45′
Venus in Aries
The Chaser. Love at first sight.
24°11′
Mars in Cancer
The Defender. Fierce for its own.

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 Pisces
The direction his life grows in: Pisces, dreamy and compassionate.
14°33′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
16°19′
Black Moon Lilith in Aries
In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.
14°05′
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.
Mercury conjunction North Node almost exact at 0.2°
Ideas and talk set his course: he found his direction by learning and talking things through.
The Sun sextile Uranus close at 1.1°
Independence came easily: he did things his own way, and people found it refreshing rather than rude.
Saturn square North Node close at 1.1°
Duty and growth competed: what he owed others and where he needed to go called for hard choices.
Venus square Neptune close at 1.2°
He loved the dream of a person, and the real one had to compete with it.
Mercury square Saturn close at 1.3°
He doubted his own ideas before anyone else could, and so he checked every one twice.
Mars quincunx Jupiter close at 1.5°
Drive and hope kept going in slightly different directions, and he aimed again and again.

What’s this?Close
The chart’s balance at a glance: which of the four elements and three modes it leans on, which body is most connected, and any body standing alone.

Modes
The Moon changed sign that day; it is counted where it stood at noon.
No earth at all, so the practical, settled side was the one he had to find.
