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.

Moon in Aquarius
The Moon moved from Capricorn into Aquarius at 7:31 a.m. that day, local time: in Capricorn for a birth before then, in Aquarius 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 Pisces
The direction his life grows in: Pisces, dreamy and compassionate.
21°06′
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.
4°52′
Black Moon Lilith in Cancer
In Cancer, Lilith is a fierce need to belong, and no wish to look after anyone on command.
21°28′
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 mind, his optimism and his independence (Mercury, Jupiter and Uranus) gather in Libra, and that part of life draws 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.
Mercury conjunction Jupiter almost exact at 0.9°
He loves ideas, the bigger the better, and he can talk anyone into hoping.
The Moon trine Uranus close at 1.3°
His feelings like freedom: he needs space in close ties and gives it back just as easily.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.4°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Venus square Neptune close at 1.7°
He loves the dream of a person, and the real one has to compete with it.
The Sun square Mars close at 1.8°
He fights hard for what he wants, and his temper is part of his courage.
The Sun sextile Neptune close at 2.0°
Imagination and identity work together: he can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.

Venus trine Mars close at 2.0°
Charm and desire work together: he knows what he wants in love and how to win it.
The Sun conjunction Pluto wide at 3.4°
Intensity at the centre: he wants the whole truth about everything, himself first, and he remakes himself more than once to reach it.
Mars square Uranus wide at 3.8°
Restless and quick to rebel: he pushes against limits, and sudden decisions come with the territory.
Pluto opposition North Node wide at 4.0°
Old attachments hold him back from the way forward, and he grows by letting some things go.
Mars square Pluto wide at 5.2°
A fierce will: he meets opposition head on, and a fight brings out his full strength.
Neptune trine North Node wide at 5.4°
Imagination helps him forward, through art, ideals and care for others.
The Sun conjunction Uranus wide at 5.5°
Born original: his identity and his need for freedom are the same thing, and he surprises people, himself included.
The Sun opposition North Node wide at 7.4°
Being himself and growing ask for different things, and his biggest steps forward come when he stretches past his habits.
