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 Cancer

    The Protector. Home, memory and care.

    12°56′

  • Moon in Cancer

    The Moon moved from Gemini into Cancer at 9:17 a.m. that day, local time: in Gemini for a birth before then, in Cancer for one after.

    1°21′

  • Mercury in Cancer

    The Remembering Mind. A memory for tone.

    24°11′

  • Venus in Cancer

    The Nurturer. Love that makes a home.

    9°44′

  • Mars in Cancer

    Mars moved from Gemini into Cancer at 3:21 a.m. that day, local time: in Gemini for a birth before then, in Cancer for one after.

Beyond the planetsNorth Node in Gemini, Chiron and Lilith
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 Gemini

    The direction his life grows in: Gemini, curious and quick-witted.

    12°28′

  • 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.

    14°59′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Cancer

    In Cancer, Lilith is a fierce need to belong, and no wish to look after anyone on command.

    25°37′

The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.

Aspects by strength11 between the planets, the closest first
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 conjunction Mars close at 1.1°

    His feelings ran hot and fast, and he protected the people he loved fiercely.

  • Mercury square Neptune close at 2.0°

    Facts and dreams blurred together in his mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details mattered.

  • Saturn trine Pluto close at 2.1°

    Endurance: he could work through hard times, and what he built survived pressure.

  • The Sun conjunction Venus wide at 3.2°

    Charm came naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things were close to his core.

  • Mercury sextile Pluto wide at 3.7°

    A probing mind: he got to the bottom of things, and his words had power when he chose to use them.

  • Mars sextile Neptune wide at 4.1°

    He worked for ideals: his drive came alive for a cause, a role or a dream.

Show more aspectsShow fewer
  • Uranus square Neptune wide at 4.2°

    The urge for change and the longing for ideals clashed, and he lived with both.

  • Jupiter conjunction Uranus wide at 4.3°

    An inventive optimism: he believed in the new, and he took leaps others would not.

  • The Sun opposition Saturn wide at 5.4°

    Self-belief came slowly and had to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counted.

  • Mercury opposition Saturn wide at 5.8°

    He doubted his own ideas before anyone else could, and so he checked every one twice.

  • Mercury conjunction Uranus wide at 6.1°

    He thought in leaps: brilliant, contrary and quick to get bored with the obvious.

The chart’s balance at a glance: which of the four elements and three modes it leans on, which body is most connected, and any body standing alone.

Elements

Fire · instinct and enthusiasm3
Earth · the practical and the solid2
Air · ideas and people0
Water · feeling and intuition5

Modes

Cardinal · starting things7
Fixed · holding steady3

The Moon changed sign that day; it is counted where it stood at noon.

No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through took deliberate effort.
