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 Libra
The Diplomat. Grace, fairness and balance.
21°21′
Moon in Scorpio
The Moon moved from Libra into Scorpio at 10:52 a.m. that day, local time: in Libra for a birth before then, in Scorpio for one after.
0°37′

The Adventurer. Love as an adventure.

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 Gemini
The direction his life grows in: Gemini, curious and quick-witted.
15°58′
Chiron in Leo
In Leo, Chiron is a quiet doubt about deserving the light, and a gift for helping others shine without apology.
3°34′
Black Moon Lilith in Leo
In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.
19°23′
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 mind, his optimism and his imagination (Mercury in Libra, Jupiter in Aquarius and Neptune in Gemini) make the triangle, so these came to him naturally.
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 mind, his optimism and his intensity (Mercury in Libra, Jupiter in Aquarius and Pluto in Gemini) make the triangle, so these came to him naturally.
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 trine Jupiter almost exact at 0.5°
A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learned easily, told a good story and saw the big picture.
Venus opposition Neptune almost exact at 0.6°
He loved the dream of a person, and the real one had to compete with it.
Neptune conjunction Pluto close at 1.2°
Imagination and intensity in one place, a meeting that comes about once in five hundred years: a feel for how things end and begin again.
Mars trine Saturn close at 1.2°
His drive and his discipline worked together easily: he could push hard and keep going.
Venus opposition Pluto close at 1.7°
Love came with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where he stood.
Mars quincunx North Node close at 2.0°
He kept adjusting how hard he pushed to fit where his life was going.
