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 Scorpio
The Detective. Intense, private and loyal.
9°04′
Moon in Pisces
The Moon moved from Pisces into Aries at 9:35 p.m. that day, local time: in Pisces for a birth before then, in Aries for one after.
25°17′
Mercury in Libra
The Mediator. Both sides of the question.
26°48′
Venus in Sagittarius
The Adventurer. Love as an adventure.
25°14′
Mars in Virgo
The Craftsperson. The craftsman’s drive.

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 Aries
The direction his life grows in: Aries, bold and direct.
16°37′
Chiron in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Chiron is a restless question about what it all means, and a gift for lending others a wider view.
8°38′
Black Moon Lilith in Aries
In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.
22°07′
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 square Venus exact at 0.0°
What comforts him and what he loves are different things, so his heart and his moods keep negotiating.
The Moon sextile Jupiter almost exact at 0.1°
Good-hearted and generous: he feels looked after by life, and he passes that on.
Saturn quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.1°
Responsibility and growth need steady balancing, and he learns which duties to keep.
Neptune opposition North Node almost exact at 0.8°
Dreams and the way forward clash, and growing means trading some illusions for clear sight.
Mercury square Jupiter close at 1.5°
Big ideas and loose details: he thinks on a large scale, and the small print is where things get away from him.
Pluto trine North Node close at 1.5°
Deep change helps him forward: each time he starts over, he goes further.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Mars sextile Uranus close at 1.6°
Quick and inventive in action: he moves fast, breaks with habit and makes sudden changes work.
Mercury sextile Venus close at 1.6°
A graceful mind: he speaks kindly and well, and he knows how to say a hard thing gently.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 2.3°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
The Sun trine Uranus wide at 4.3°
Independence comes easily: he does things his own way, and people find it refreshing rather than rude.
The Sun sextile Mars wide at 5.8°
His purpose and his drive work together: once he decides on something, he moves on it fast.
