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 Taurus
The Gardener. Steady, sensual and sure.
26°04′
Moon in Scorpio
The Moon moved from Libra into Scorpio at 9:43 a.m. that day, local time: in Libra for a birth before then, in Scorpio for one after.
1°10′
Mercury in Gemini
The Quick Wit. The messenger at home.
17°15′
Venus in Gemini
The Charmer. Love through conversation.
23°10′
Mars in Aries
The Trailblazer. First through the door.

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.
12°15′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
10°32′
Black Moon Lilith in Virgo
In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.
22°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.
Saturn square Neptune almost exact at 0.4°
The dream and the hard work seldom agree on terms: his discipline and his imagination ask different things of him.
The Sun square Uranus almost exact at 0.4°
He needs room to be himself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.
Neptune square North Node almost exact at 0.5°
Dreams and the way forward clash, and growing means trading some illusions for clear sight.
Saturn opposition North Node almost exact at 0.9°
Duty and growth compete: what he owes others and where he needs to go call for hard choices.
Venus sextile Mars close at 1.9°
Charm and desire work together: he knows what he wants in love and how to win it.
Jupiter opposition Pluto close at 2.0°
He wants more power than comes easily, and the struggle for it shapes his life.

Jupiter quincunx North Node close at 2.8°

Mercury sextile Mars wide at 4.1°
A quick, direct mind: he makes decisions fast and says what he means.
Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 4.2°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Mars trine Uranus wide at 5.2°
Quick and inventive in action: he moves fast, breaks with habit and makes sudden changes work.
Mercury trine Saturn wide at 5.9°
A patient, exact mind: he chooses every word, and his thinking gets sharper with practice.
Mercury conjunction Venus wide at 5.9°
Words with charm in them: he has an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people like listening to him.
