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 Scorpio
The Detective. Intense, private and loyal.
7°26′
Moon in Aries
The Moon moved from Aries into Taurus at 1:13 p.m. that day, local time: in Aries for a birth before then, in Taurus for one after.
29°24′
Mercury in Sagittarius
The Philosopher. The big picture.
0°47′
Venus in Virgo
The Quiet Romantic. Love in small attentions.
26°02′

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.
15°14′
Chiron in Cancer
In Cancer, Chiron is an early longing to belong somewhere, and a knack for making strangers feel at home.
1°59′
Black Moon Lilith in Aries
In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.
19°07′
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.
Jupiter square North Node almost exact at 0.8°
Easy hopes and the harder way forward went different ways, and real growth came from the harder one.
Uranus sextile North Node almost exact at 0.8°
Change helped him forward: he grew by trying the new.
The Sun square Saturn close at 1.2°
Self-belief came slowly and had to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counted.
Mercury opposition Neptune close at 1.5°
Facts and dreams blurred together in his mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details mattered.
Saturn sextile Pluto close at 1.7°
Endurance: he could work through hard times, and what he built survived pressure.
The Sun sextile Mars close at 2.4°
His purpose and his drive worked together: once he decided on something, he moved on it fast.
