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 Taurus
The Gardener. Steady, sensual and sure.
9°27′
Moon in Aries
The Moon moved from Aries into Taurus at 10:31 p.m. that day, local time: in Aries for a birth before then, in Taurus 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 Gemini
The direction his life grows in: Gemini, curious and quick-witted.
21°29′
Chiron in Libra
In Libra, Chiron is a soft spot around being chosen and kept, and a gift for making others feel met as equals.
16°31′
Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Lilith is an intensity and a private power that stay unexplained.
29°28′
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 Sun square Pluto exact at 0.0°
Nothing about him is halfway: he insists on running his own life, and the struggle makes him formidable.
Jupiter square Saturn almost exact at 0.9°
Growth and caution keep checking each other: he moves forward in bursts, then pauses to consolidate.
Jupiter trine North Node close at 1.2°
Hope helps him grow: faith in what is possible keeps him moving forward.
Mercury sextile Uranus close at 1.9°
A quick, original mind: ideas arrive in flashes, and he sees answers others miss.
Venus sextile Mars close at 2.3°
Charm and desire work together: he knows what he wants in love and how to win it.
Mars sextile Neptune close at 3.0°
He works for ideals: his drive comes alive for a cause, a role or a dream.
