Sun in Leo
The Bright One. Warm, proud and generous.

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 Virgo
The direction his life grows in: Virgo, precise and helpful.
18°38′
Chiron in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Chiron is the feeling of having grown up too soon, and a gift for showing others how to stand on their own.
25°35′
Black Moon Lilith in Pisces
In Pisces, Lilith is a dreamer who wants no rescuing, with a private world all its own.
13°09′
The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.
Patterns
What’s this?Close
When several aspects lock into one shape, such as a triangle or a cross, the planets in it act together, and the shape says how: easily, under strain, or with one planet as the focus.
Grand trine
Three planets in an easy triangle, each in flowing contact with the other two: a gift that comes without effort.
In his chart, his identity, his optimism and his independence (the Sun in Leo, Jupiter in Taurus and Uranus in Sagittarius) make the triangle, so these came to him naturally.
T-square
Two planets pull against each other, and a third stands at right angles to both, where the strain gathers.
In his chart, his independence (Uranus in Sagittarius) and his intensity (Pluto in Gemini) face each other across the wheel, and his mind (Mercury in Virgo) took the strain: the part of him that worked hardest.
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 square Uranus almost exact at 0.2°
His mind ran ahead of the conversation: he said the unexpected thing, and not everyone was ready to hear it.
The Sun trine Jupiter close at 1.6°
His confidence came easily and spread: he thought big, and other people wanted to come along.
Saturn quincunx North Node close at 1.8°
Responsibility and growth needed steady balancing, and he learned which duties to keep.
The Sun trine Uranus close at 2.6°
Independence came easily: he did things his own way, and people found it refreshing rather than rude.
Pluto square North Node close at 2.9°
Old attachments held him back from the way forward, and he grew by letting some things go.
Venus sextile Neptune wide at 3.5°
A romantic with an artist’s eye: he saw the beauty in people and made it visible to others.
