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.
21°42′
Moon in Taurus
The Moon moved from Taurus into Gemini at 6:37 p.m. that day, local time: in Taurus for a birth before then, in Gemini for one after.
26°26′
Mercury in Pisces
The Poet. Knowing without explaining.
11°51′
Venus in Aries
The Chaser. Love at first sight.
3°05′
Mars in Taurus

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°47′
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.
5°26′
Black Moon Lilith in Leo
In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.
10°38′
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.
Mercury conjunction North Node almost exact at 0.1°
Ideas and talk set his course: he finds his direction by learning and talking things through.
The Moon trine Pluto almost exact at 0.2°
His feelings run deep and hold steady: he comes through hard times with more strength than he goes in with.
Jupiter opposition Saturn almost exact at 0.7°
Growth and caution keep checking each other: he moves forward in bursts, then pauses to consolidate.
Mars opposition Jupiter close at 1.3°
He takes on more than any one person can, and his boldness runs ahead of his plans.
Saturn quincunx Uranus close at 1.4°
When to keep the rules and when to break them takes constant deciding.
Mars conjunction Saturn close at 1.9°
Controlled force: he works with patience and grit, and he finishes what he starts.

A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Jupiter trine North Node wide at 6.5°
Hope helps him grow: faith in what is possible keeps him moving forward.
