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.

Beyond the planetsNorth Node in Sagittarius, 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 Sagittarius

    The direction his life grows in: Sagittarius, free and far-ranging.

    8°26′

  • Chiron in Aquarius

    In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.

    11°38′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn

    In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.

    16°35′

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

Aspects by strength12 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.

  • Uranus square Neptune almost exact at 0.1°

    The urge for change and the longing for ideals clash, and he lives with both.

  • Venus sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.6°

    He loves with depth and loyalty, and the bonds he forms change both people.

  • The Sun square Mars close at 1.3°

    He fights hard for what he wants, and his temper is part of his courage.

  • Venus trine Neptune close at 2.0°

    A romantic with an artist’s eye: he sees the beauty in people and makes it visible to others.

  • Saturn trine Uranus close at 2.2°

    Old and new sit well together: he can change things without throwing out what works.

  • Neptune sextile Pluto close at 2.6°

    A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.

    Old ideas and the way forward are at odds, and he learns new ways of thinking to move on.
