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 Leo
The Bright One. Warm, proud and generous.
9°41′
Moon in Scorpio
The Moon moved from Scorpio into Sagittarius at 3:48 p.m. that day, local time: in Scorpio for a birth before then, in Sagittarius 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 Virgo
The direction his life grows in: Virgo, precise and helpful.
1°41′
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.
12°48′
Black Moon Lilith in Libra
In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.
25°36′
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.
T-square
Two planets pull against each other, and a third stands at right angles to both, where the strain gathers.
In his chart, his identity (the Sun in Leo) and his imagination (Neptune in Aquarius) face each other across the wheel, and his discipline (Saturn in Taurus) takes the strain: the part of him that works hardest.
Yod
Two planets in easy contact both point awkwardly at a third, which becomes the focus: a talent that takes constant adjusting.
In his chart, his optimism (Jupiter in Pisces) and his imagination (Neptune in Aquarius) both point at his mind (Mercury in Leo), the part of him that keeps needing adjustment and gives his life its focus.
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 Mercury exact at 0.0°
His head and his feelings argue: he knows what he thinks before he knows what he feels, or the other way round.
The Moon trine Jupiter almost exact at 0.4°
Good-hearted and generous: he feels looked after by life, and he passes that on.
Mercury quincunx Jupiter almost exact at 0.4°
The facts and the bigger picture need constant reconciling, and he keeps checking one against the other.
The Sun opposition Uranus close at 1.1°
He needs room to be himself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.
Neptune quincunx North Node close at 1.2°
He grows by testing his ideals against real life, again and again.
Venus conjunction Mars close at 1.5°
Magnetic: affection and desire come together in him, and people notice.
