Sun in Scorpio
The Detective. Intense, private and loyal.

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.
16°02′
Chiron in Gemini
In Gemini, Chiron is an old fear of not being heard, which becomes a gift for finding the words others lack.
0°38′
Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Lilith is the outsider’s streak, at its best when it does not fit in.
27°15′
The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.
Patterns
What’s this?Close
When several aspects lock into one shape, such as a triangle or a cross, the planets in it act together, and the shape says how: easily, under strain, or with one planet as the focus.
Stellium
Three or more planets gathered in one sign or one house, so that part of the chart speaks loudest.
In his chart, his identity, his discipline and his intensity (the Sun, Saturn and Pluto) gather in Scorpio, and that part of life draws his attention first.
Stellium
Three or more planets gathered in one sign or one house, so that part of the chart speaks loudest.
In his chart, his mind, his optimism, his independence and his imagination (Mercury, Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune) gather in Sagittarius, and that part of life draws his attention first.
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 opposition North Node almost exact at 0.1°
Easy hopes and the harder way forward go different ways, and real growth comes from the harder one.
Venus sextile Uranus almost exact at 0.4°
He loves the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.
Mars square Neptune close at 1.9°
Drive and dreams mix uneasily: the goal is clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 2.7°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Mercury conjunction Uranus wide at 3.2°
He thinks in leaps: brilliant, contrary and quick to get bored with the obvious.
Mercury sextile Venus wide at 3.6°
A graceful mind: he speaks kindly and well, and he knows how to say a hard thing gently.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
The Sun sextile Mars wide at 4.8°
His purpose and his drive work together: once he decides on something, he moves on it fast.
Jupiter conjunction Uranus wide at 7.5°
An inventive optimism: he believes in the new, and he takes leaps others would not.
Uranus opposition North Node wide at 7.5°
The way forward asks for steadiness, and the urge for change keeps breaking in.
Chart signature
What’s this?Close
The chart’s balance at a glance: which of the four elements and three modes it leans on, which body is most connected, and any body standing alone.
Elements
Modes
Standing alone: Saturn. It makes no major aspect, so his discipline works alone: strict in one part of life, and missing from others.
