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 Libra
The Diplomat. Grace, fairness and balance.
22°10′
Moon in Pisces
The Moon moved from Pisces into Aries at 10:37 p.m. that day, local time: in Pisces for a birth before then, in Aries for one after.
24°43′
Mercury in Scorpioretrograde
The Investigator. Hears what was left out.
1°38′

The Quiet Romantic. Love in small attentions.

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 Taurus
The direction his life grows in: Taurus, steady and sensual.
4°57′
Chiron in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Chiron is a wariness about trust that runs deep, and the strength to stay close when others are at their lowest.
24°25′
Black Moon Lilith in Pisces
In Pisces, Lilith is a dreamer who wants no rescuing, with a private world all its own.
9°40′
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 0.4°
His feelings run large: he wants more comfort, more company and more of everything than any one day gives.
Mercury trine Uranus close at 1.1°
A quick, original mind: ideas arrive in flashes, and he sees answers others miss.
Mercury sextile Saturn close at 1.2°
A patient, exact mind: he chooses every word, and his thinking gets sharper with practice.
Mars quincunx Uranus close at 1.7°
Effort and restlessness keep catching each other off guard, and his plans change at short notice.
Saturn trine North Node close at 2.0°
Discipline helps him grow: patience and hard work keep him on course.
The Sun sextile Jupiter close at 2.2°
His confidence comes easily and spreads: he thinks big, and other people want to come along.
