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 Capricorn
The Architect. Ambitious, patient and dry.
22°05′
Moon in Scorpio
The Moon moved from Libra into Scorpio at 6:32 a.m. that day, local time: in Libra for a birth before then, in Scorpio for one after.
3°09′
Mercury in Aquarius
The Inventor. The original thinker.
10°55′
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 Aries
The direction his life grows in: Aries, bold and direct.
3°08′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
29°21′
Black Moon Lilith in Gemini
In Gemini, Lilith is the quick tongue that says out loud what the room only thinks.
23°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.
Venus trine Mars almost exact at 0.8°
Charm and desire work together: he knows what he wants in love and how to win it.
Uranus opposition North Node almost exact at 0.9°
The way forward asks for steadiness, and the urge for change keeps breaking in.
Jupiter conjunction Uranus close at 1.9°
An inventive optimism: he believes in the new, and he takes leaps others would not.
Jupiter opposition North Node close at 2.8°
Easy hopes and the harder way forward go different ways, and real growth comes from the harder one.
The Sun square Saturn close at 2.9°
Self-belief comes slowly and has to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counts.
The Sun trine Pluto close at 3.0°
A quiet strength: under pressure he grows more focused, and he knows how to start over.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 3.0°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Mercury square Mars wide at 3.3°
Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argues well, sometimes too well, and a debate is a kind of sport to him.
Mercury trine Jupiter wide at 5.0°
A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learns easily, tells a good story and sees the big picture.
Neptune trine North Node wide at 5.0°
Imagination helps him forward, through art, ideals and care for others.
The Sun sextile Neptune wide at 6.0°
Imagination and identity work together: he can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
