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 Capricorn

    The Architect. Ambitious, patient and dry.

    7°54′

  • Moon in Gemini

    The Moon moved from Taurus into Gemini at 7:25 a.m. that day, local time: in Taurus for a birth before then, in Gemini for one after.

    2°16′

  • Mercury in Sagittarius

    The Philosopher. The big picture.

    25°51′

  • Venus in Aquarius

    The Kindred Spirit. Friend first, lover too.

    14°19′

  • Mars in Libra

    The Negotiator. A fighter for fairness.

    10°09′

Beyond the planetsNorth Node in Scorpio, Chiron and Lilith
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 Scorpio

    The direction his life grows in: Scorpio, intense and private.

    10°58′

  • Chiron in Aquarius

    In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.

    8°18′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Taurus

    In Taurus, Lilith is an appetite for pleasure that sees no need to apologise.

    21°20′

The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.

Aspects by strength19 between the planets, the closest first
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 conjunction Pluto almost exact at 0.4°

    Large ambitions and the will to see them through: he worked on a grand scale.

  • The Sun sextile Uranus almost exact at 0.8°

    Independence came easily: he did things his own way, and people found it refreshing rather than rude.

  • Pluto trine North Node close at 1.8°

    Deep change helped him forward: each time he started over, he went further.

  • Jupiter trine North Node close at 2.1°

    Hope helped him grow: faith in what was possible kept him moving forward.

  • Uranus conjunction North Node close at 2.2°

    An unusual path: his direction in life came through sudden turns and fresh starts.

  • The Sun square Mars close at 2.2°

    He fought hard for what he wanted, and his temper was part of his courage.
