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 Taurus
The Gardener. Steady, sensual and sure.
27°51′
Moon in Capricorn
The Moon moved from Sagittarius into Capricorn at 3:42 a.m. that day, local time: in Sagittarius for a birth before then, in Capricorn for one after.
4°07′

14°10′
Venus in Gemini

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 Gemini
The direction his life grows in: Gemini, curious and quick-witted.
20°50′
Chiron in Libra
In Libra, Chiron is a soft spot around being chosen and kept, and a gift for making others feel met as equals.
15°27′
Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Lilith is a free mind that keeps only the beliefs it chose.
1°35′
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 square Mars close at 1.4°
Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argued well, sometimes too well, and a debate was a kind of sport to him.
The Moon square Neptune close at 1.9°
His feelings and his imagination pulled in different directions: he lived between what was real and what he longed for.
Jupiter trine Uranus close at 2.1°
Sudden openings: he spotted new chances early and jumped at them.
Jupiter trine North Node close at 2.4°
Hope helped him grow: faith in what was possible kept him moving forward.
Jupiter square Saturn close at 2.5°
