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 Cancer
The Protector. Home, memory and care.
24°25′
Moon in Taurus
The Moon moved from Taurus into Gemini at 6:47 p.m. that day, local time: in Taurus for a birth before then, in Gemini for one after.
26°06′
Mercury in Leo
The Storyteller. A voice that carries.
18°28′
Venus in Cancer
The Nurturer. Love that makes a home.
13°09′
Mars in Aquariusretrograde
The Rebel. Rebel with a cause.

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 Aquarius
The direction his life grows in: Aquarius, independent and original.
14°41′
Chiron in Aries
In Aries, Chiron is a doubt about the right to go first, and with it a talent for giving others their nerve.
13°52′
Black Moon Lilith in Libra
In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.
5°13′
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 opposition Jupiter almost exact at 0.6°
His feelings run large: he wants more comfort, more company and more of everything than any one day gives.
Jupiter sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.7°
Ambition with depth: he knows how to build influence, and he uses it to make big changes.
The Moon trine Pluto close at 1.3°
His feelings run deep and hold steady: he comes through hard times with more strength than he goes in with.
Venus quincunx North Node close at 1.5°
He keeps adjusting what he wants from people to fit the life he is growing into.
The Sun trine Jupiter close at 2.2°
His confidence comes easily and spreads: he thinks big, and other people want to come along.
Saturn opposition Neptune close at 2.7°
The dream and the hard work seldom agree on terms: his discipline and his imagination ask different things of him.

Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 3.1°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.

Mars conjunction North Node wide at 7.0°
Driven towards his path: he goes after the life he wants with real force.
