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 Gemini
The Messenger. Curious and many-sided.
0°47′
Moon in Leo
The Moon moved from Cancer into Leo at 9:07 a.m. that day, local time: in Cancer for a birth before then, in Leo for one after.
1°31′

The Chaser. Love at first sight.

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 Aries
The direction his life grows in: Aries, bold and direct.
5°43′
Chiron in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Chiron is a restless question about what it all means, and a gift for lending others a wider view.
19°55′
Black Moon Lilith in Taurus
In Taurus, Lilith is an appetite for pleasure that sees no need to apologise.
14°29′
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.
The Sun sextile the Moon almost exact at 0.7°
His purpose and his feelings are on the same side: the life he chooses and the comfort he needs go together.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.0°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Jupiter trine Uranus close at 2.4°
Sudden openings: he spots new chances early and jumps at them.
Venus trine Pluto close at 2.6°
He loves with depth and loyalty, and the bonds he forms change both people.
Uranus square North Node close at 2.6°
The way forward asks for steadiness, and the urge for change keeps breaking in.
Mercury square Pluto wide at 3.5°
His words have force: he speaks to persuade, and he keeps his own counsel until the right moment.

The Sun sextile North Node wide at 4.9°
The direction his life takes suits him: being himself and growing go hand in hand.
The Sun trine Mars wide at 6.7°
His purpose and his drive work together: once he decides on something, he moves on it fast.
Mercury trine Saturn wide at 6.8°
A patient, exact mind: he chooses every word, and his thinking gets sharper with practice.
Jupiter opposition Saturn wide at 7.1°
Growth and caution keep checking each other: he moves forward in bursts, then pauses to consolidate.
