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 Sun moved from Capricorn into Aquarius at 1:33 p.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 Taurus
The direction his life grows in: Taurus, steady and sensual.
8°18′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
9°37′
Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.
27°11′
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 Moon square Pluto exact at 0.0°
He loves hard and holds on hard, and letting go takes him a long time.
Mercury quincunx Neptune almost exact at 0.1°
Meaning comes to him before the words do, and clear speech follows the feeling.
Jupiter quincunx Saturn almost exact at 0.6°
When to expand and when to hold back takes constant rethinking.
Jupiter sextile Uranus close at 1.4°
Sudden openings: he spots new chances early and jumps at them.
The Moon square Mars close at 1.4°
Quick feelings and a quick temper: he reacts first, and his courage comes from the same place as his flashes of anger.
Mars opposition Pluto close at 1.4°
A fierce will: he meets opposition head on, and a fight brings out his full strength.
