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 Leo
The Bright One. Warm, proud and generous.
24°10′
Moon in Leo
The Moon moved from Cancer into Leo at 11:35 a.m. that day, local time: in Cancer for a birth before then, in Leo for one after.
0°15′
Mercury in Leo
The Storyteller. A voice that carries.
5°35′
Venus in Libra
The Sweetheart. Grace, romance and balance.

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 Leo
The direction his life grows in: Leo, warm and dramatic.
19°00′
Chiron in Cancer
In Cancer, Chiron is an early longing to belong somewhere, and a knack for making strangers feel at home.
0°17′
Black Moon Lilith in Aries
In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.
10°46′
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 Jupiter almost exact at 0.1°
His feelings ran large: he wanted more comfort, more company and more of everything than any one day gave.
Jupiter quincunx Neptune almost exact at 0.1°
His ideals and his beliefs needed constant matching up, and he kept asking what he really believed.
Saturn sextile Neptune almost exact at 0.2°
Practical dreams: he gave ideals a shape and worked to make them real.
Jupiter square Saturn almost exact at 0.3°
Growth and caution kept checking each other: he moved forward in bursts, then paused to consolidate.
The Moon conjunction Saturn almost exact at 0.4°
Self-contained: he kept his feelings in order, and he gave comfort in practical ways rather than in words.
Mercury sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.6°
A probing mind: he got to the bottom of things, and his words had power when he chose to use them.
