Moon in Gemini
The Moon moved from Gemini into Cancer at 11:48 p.m. that day, local time: in Gemini for a birth before then, in Cancer for one after.

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 Taurus
The direction his life grows in: Taurus, steady and sensual.
9°43′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
24°12′
Black Moon Lilith in Aries
In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.
6°11′
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 imagination (Venus in Pisces, Jupiter in Cancer and Neptune in Scorpio) 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.
The Moon square Uranus almost exact at 0.2°
His moods change without warning, and he wants closeness and room to breathe at the same time.
Venus trine Neptune almost exact at 0.4°

Uranus sextile Neptune close at 1.0°

Venus trine Jupiter close at 1.1°
Affection comes to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism help each other.
The Moon square Venus close at 1.2°
