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 Capricorn
The Architect. Ambitious, patient and dry.
9°13′
Moon in Virgo
The Moon moved from Leo into Virgo at 5:47 a.m. that day, local time: in Leo for a birth before then, in Virgo for one after.
3°48′
Mercury in Capricorn
The Planner. Foundations first.
7°35′
Venus in Aquarius
The Kindred Spirit. Friend first, lover too.
8°37′
Mars in Virgo
The Craftsperson. The craftsman’s drive.

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.
22°20′
Chiron in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Chiron is a wariness about trust that runs deep, and the strength to stay close when others are at their lowest.
20°51′
Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Lilith is the outsider’s streak, at its best when it does not fit in.
7°19′
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.
Saturn square North Node almost exact at 0.3°
Duty and growth compete: what he owes others and where he needs to go call for hard choices.
Mercury trine Mars almost exact at 0.3°
A quick, direct mind: he makes decisions fast and says what he means.
Jupiter trine Pluto almost exact at 0.6°
Ambition with depth: he knows how to build influence, and he uses it to make big changes.
Venus quincunx Mars close at 1.4°
What he finds beautiful and what he desires keep parting ways, and love takes some working out.
Saturn sextile Uranus close at 1.5°
Old and new sit well together: he can change things without throwing out what works.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.6°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
