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 Virgo
The Fixer. Precise, useful and kind.
19°47′
Moon in Cancer
The Moon moved from Cancer into Leo at 5:51 p.m. that day, local time: in Cancer for a birth before then, in Leo for one after.
27°03′
Mercury in Virgoretrograde

9°30′

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 Cancer
The direction his life grows in: Cancer, protective and caring.
26°30′
Chiron in Virgo
In Virgo, Chiron is the sense that no effort is ever quite enough, and a gift for patient, practical help.
21°15′
Black Moon Lilith in Virgo
In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.
23°02′
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.
Stellium
Three or more planets gathered in one sign or one house, so that part of the chart speaks loudest.
In his chart, his identity, his mind and his optimism (the Sun, Mercury and Jupiter) gather in Virgo, and that part of life drew his attention first.
Stellium
Three or more planets gathered in one sign or one house, so that part of the chart speaks loudest.
In his chart, his heart, his drive and his imagination (Venus, Mars and Neptune) gather in Libra, and that part of life drew his attention first.
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 sextile Pluto exact at 0.0°
Stamina and willpower: he kept going long after others stopped, and he did his best work under pressure.
Mercury sextile Saturn almost exact at 0.2°
A patient, exact mind: he chose every word, and his thinking got sharper with practice.
Mars square Saturn almost exact at 0.2°
Drive with the brakes on: he wanted to move, something held him back, and the friction made him tough.
The Moon conjunction North Node almost exact at 0.6°
His instincts led the way: following his feelings was how he found his direction.
Mercury conjunction Jupiter almost exact at 0.9°
He loved ideas, the bigger the better, and he could talk anyone into hoping.
Jupiter sextile Saturn close at 1.1°
Hope and caution in balance: he dreamed big and planned carefully, and both helped.
