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 Leo
The Bright One. Warm, proud and generous.
24°51′
Moon in Cancer
The Moon moved from Cancer into Leo at 6:58 p.m. that day, local time: in Cancer for a birth before then, in Leo for one after.
26°21′
Mercury in Virgoretrograde
The Analyst. The editor’s eye.
9°05′
Venus in Leo
The Romantic. Grand, generous love.

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.
14°35′
Chiron in Aries
In Aries, Chiron is a doubt about the right to go first, and with it a talent for giving others their nerve.
13°26′
Black Moon Lilith in Libra
In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.
8°46′
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.
Mars conjunction North Node almost exact at 0.3°
Driven towards his path: he goes after the life he wants with real force.
Jupiter sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.8°
Ambition with depth: he knows how to build influence, and he uses it to make big changes.
The Moon trine Jupiter close at 1.2°
Good-hearted and generous: he feels looked after by life, and he passes that on.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 2.0°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
The Sun conjunction Venus close at 2.6°
Charm comes naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things are close to his core.
The Sun square Jupiter close at 2.6°
He reaches for more than one life can hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.

Jupiter conjunction Neptune close at 2.8°
A dreamer’s faith: he believes in something larger, and his compassion and his hopes go together.
Mercury square Saturn wide at 3.5°
He doubts his own ideas before anyone else can, and so he checks every one twice.
Uranus trine North Node wide at 3.5°
Change helps him forward: he grows by trying the new.
Mars trine Uranus wide at 3.9°
Quick and inventive in action: he moves fast, breaks with habit and makes sudden changes work.
Venus square Jupiter wide at 5.2°
He loves too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures run past what one life can use.
Saturn opposition Neptune wide at 5.3°
The dream and the hard work seldom agree on terms: his discipline and his imagination ask different things of him.
Saturn trine Uranus wide at 5.4°
Old and new sit well together: he can change things without throwing out what works.
The Sun square Neptune wide at 5.5°
The self he knows and the image others see drift apart at times, and he works to keep hold of the real one.
