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 Sagittarius
The Explorer. Honest, free and far-seeing.
21°14′
Moon in Taurus
The Hearth. Calm, sensual and steady.
13°23′
Mercury in Capricorn
Mercury moved from Sagittarius into Capricorn at 9:42 a.m. that day, local time: in Sagittarius for a birth before then, in Capricorn for one after.

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.
11°38′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
10°16′
Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.
22°56′
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.
T-square
Two planets pull against each other, and a third stands at right angles to both, where the strain gathers.
In his chart, his heart (Venus in Sagittarius) and his optimism (Jupiter in Gemini) face each other across the wheel, and his imagination (Neptune in Virgo) took the strain: the part of him that worked hardest.
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.
Venus trine Uranus almost exact at 0.6°
He loved the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.
Mars quincunx Pluto almost exact at 0.8°
Force and restraint kept trading places, and he learned when to let go.
Mercury conjunction Saturn close at 1.4°
Serious thoughts: he said less than he knew, and what he said held up.
The Moon conjunction North Node close at 1.7°
His instincts led the way: following his feelings was how he found his direction.
Venus opposition Jupiter close at 1.9°
He loved too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures ran past what one life could use.
Saturn trine Neptune close at 2.0°
Practical dreams: he gave ideals a shape and worked to make them real.

The Sun conjunction Mercury wide at 8.9°
His mind and his identity were close together: he spoke as he thought, and his ideas were part of who he was.
