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.
25°36′
Moon in Aquarius
The Moon moved from Capricorn into Aquarius at 12:20 a.m. that day, local time: in Capricorn for a birth before then, in Aquarius for one after.
6°04′
Mercury in Aries
The Spark. First to speak.
18°11′
Venus in Pisces
The Tender Heart. Love without limits.

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 Sagittarius
The direction his life grows in: Sagittarius, free and far-ranging.
28°33′
Chiron in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.
5°07′
Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Lilith is a free mind that keeps only the beliefs it chose.
4°06′
The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.
Patterns
What’s this?Close
When several aspects lock into one shape, such as a triangle or a cross, the planets in it act together, and the shape says how: easily, under strain, or with one planet as the focus.
Grand trine
Three planets in an easy triangle, each in flowing contact with the other two: a gift that comes without effort.
In his chart, his heart, his optimism and his discipline (Venus in Pisces, Jupiter in Cancer and Saturn in Scorpio) make the triangle, so these come to him naturally.

In his chart, his heart, his discipline and his independence (Venus in Pisces, Saturn in Scorpio and Uranus in Cancer) make the triangle, so these come to him naturally.
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.
Venus trine Saturn almost exact at 0.6°
Loyal in love: he chooses carefully, and what he builds with people lasts.
The Sun trine Pluto close at 1.2°
A quiet strength: under pressure he grows more focused, and he knows how to start over.
Venus trine Jupiter close at 1.2°
Affection comes to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism help each other.
The Sun opposition Neptune close at 1.3°
The self he knows and the image others see drift apart at times, and he works to keep hold of the real one.
Mercury quincunx Saturn close at 1.3°
Speaking freely and speaking carefully take constant balancing, and he weighs words before letting them go.
Neptune sextile North Node close at 1.6°
Imagination helps him forward, through art, ideals and care for others.
