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 Sagittarius
The Explorer. Honest, free and far-seeing.
21°14′
Moon in Scorpio
The Moon moved from Scorpio into Sagittarius at 10:24 p.m. that day, local time: in Scorpio for a birth before then, in Sagittarius for one after.
23°53′
Mercury in Sagittariusretrograde
The Philosopher. The big picture.

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 Cancer
The direction his life grows in: Cancer, protective and caring.
25°58′
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.
23°59′
Black Moon Lilith in Leo
In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.
10°11′
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.
Jupiter quincunx Neptune almost exact at 0.1°
His ideals and his beliefs need constant matching up, and he keeps asking what he really believes.
The Sun square Uranus almost exact at 0.4°
He needs room to be himself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.
Mars conjunction Saturn almost exact at 0.7°
Controlled force: he works with patience and grit, and he finishes what he starts.
Saturn trine Uranus almost exact at 0.7°
Old and new sit well together: he can change things without throwing out what works.
The Moon square Neptune almost exact at 0.8°
His feelings and his imagination pull in different directions: he lives between what is real and what he longs for.
Jupiter opposition North Node close at 1.2°
Easy hopes and the harder way forward go different ways, and real growth comes from the harder one.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Mars trine Uranus close at 1.4°
Quick and inventive in action: he moves fast, breaks with habit and makes sudden changes work.
Mercury quincunx Pluto close at 2.2°
What he knows and what he says need careful managing, and secrets sit uneasily with him.
The Moon conjunction Saturn close at 3.0°
Self-contained: he keeps his feelings in order, and he gives comfort in practical ways rather than in words.
Jupiter sextile Uranus wide at 3.1°
Sudden openings: he spots new chances early and jumps at them.
The Sun trine Neptune wide at 3.5°
Imagination and identity work together: he can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
Saturn square Neptune wide at 3.8°
The dream and the hard work seldom agree on terms: his discipline and his imagination ask different things of him.
Jupiter sextile Saturn wide at 3.8°
Hope and caution in balance: he dreams big and plans carefully, and both help.
Uranus trine North Node wide at 4.3°
Change helps him forward: he grows by trying the new.
Mars square Neptune wide at 4.5°
Drive and dreams mix uneasily: the goal is clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.
Mars sextile Jupiter wide at 4.5°
Big drive and big confidence: he goes after large goals, and his enthusiasm carries others along.
The Sun conjunction Mercury wide at 4.9°
His mind and his identity are close together: he speaks as he thinks, and his ideas are part of who he is.
Saturn trine North Node wide at 5.0°
Discipline helps him grow: patience and hard work keep him on course.
Mercury square Uranus wide at 5.3°
His mind runs ahead of the conversation: he says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.
Mars trine North Node wide at 5.7°
Courage moves him forward, and each bold step takes him further along his path.
Mars trine Pluto wide at 6.1°
Stamina and willpower: he keeps going long after others stop, and he does his best work under pressure.
Saturn trine Pluto wide at 6.8°
Endurance: he can work through hard times, and what he builds survives pressure.
