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 Pisces
The Dreamer. Gentle, dreamy and deep.
9°49′
Moon in Sagittarius
The Moon moved from Scorpio into Sagittarius at 12:39 a.m. that day, local time: in Scorpio for a birth before then, in Sagittarius for one after.
6°23′
Mercury in Aquarius
The Inventor. The original thinker.
21°54′
Venus in Pisces
The Tender Heart. Love without limits.

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 Pisces
The direction his life grows in: Pisces, dreamy and compassionate.
11°50′
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.
4°46′
Black Moon Lilith in Leo
In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.
9°19′
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.
Mars quincunx Pluto close at 1.0°
Force and restraint keep trading places, and he learns when to let go.
Jupiter opposition Saturn close at 1.1°
Growth and caution keep checking each other: he moves forward in bursts, then pauses to consolidate.
The Sun quincunx Uranus close at 1.9°
His restlessness keeps testing his plans, so he changes course more than once to stay true to himself.
The Sun conjunction North Node close at 2.0°
His identity and his direction in life line up: the more fully he becomes himself, the further he goes.
Mercury sextile Mars wide at 3.6°
A quick, direct mind: he makes decisions fast and says what he means.
The Sun trine Jupiter wide at 4.0°
His confidence comes easily and spreads: he thinks big, and other people want to come along.

Following his heart is following his path: the people and pleasures he loves lead him forward.
