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 Virgo
The Fixer. Precise, useful and kind.
5°39′
Moon in Scorpio
The Moon moved from Libra into Scorpio at 11:26 a.m. that day, local time: in Libra for a birth before then, in Scorpio for one after.

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 Scorpio
The direction his life grows in: Scorpio, intense and private.
20°46′
Chiron in Cancer
In Cancer, Chiron is an early longing to belong somewhere, and a knack for making strangers feel at home.
8°15′
Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.
17°16′
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.
Stellium
Three or more planets gathered in one sign or one house, so that part of the chart speaks loudest.
In his chart, his identity, his mind and his imagination (the Sun, Mercury and Neptune) gather in Virgo, and that part of life draws his attention first.
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 Pluto almost exact at 0.4°
He loves hard and holds on hard, and letting go takes him a long time.
Neptune sextile North Node almost exact at 0.5°
Imagination helps him forward, through art, ideals and care for others.
Mars opposition Jupiter close at 2.0°
He takes on more than any one person can, and his boldness runs ahead of his plans.
The Sun conjunction Mercury close at 2.4°
His mind and his identity are close together: he speaks as he thinks, and his ideas are part of who he is.
Uranus trine Neptune close at 2.5°
Change and idealism go together: new ideas come wrapped in dreams of a better world.
Venus sextile Mars close at 2.7°
Charm and desire work together: he knows what he wants in love and how to win it.

Uranus opposition North Node close at 3.0°
The way forward asks for steadiness, and the urge for change keeps breaking in.
Mars square North Node wide at 3.4°
Old fights and the way forward disagree, and he grows by choosing which battles matter.
Venus opposition Saturn wide at 4.2°
Love feels like something to be earned, and he holds back until he is sure of it.
Venus trine Jupiter wide at 4.7°
Affection comes to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism help each other.
Jupiter square North Node wide at 5.4°
Easy hopes and the harder way forward go different ways, and real growth comes from the harder one.
Mars square Uranus wide at 6.4°
Restless and quick to rebel: he pushes against limits, and sudden decisions come with the territory.
Mercury opposition Jupiter wide at 7.1°
Big ideas and loose details: he thinks on a large scale, and the small print is where things get away from him.
