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.

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 Pisces
The direction his life grows in: Pisces, dreamy and compassionate.
21°51′
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.
6°33′
Black Moon Lilith in Cancer
In Cancer, Lilith is a fierce need to belong, and no wish to look after anyone on command.
16°19′
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 square Jupiter almost exact at 0.5°
He loved too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures ran past what one life could use.
The Moon trine Jupiter almost exact at 0.8°
Good-hearted and generous: he felt looked after by life, and he passed that on.
The Moon trine Uranus close at 1.2°
His feelings liked freedom: he needed space in close ties and gave it back just as easily.
Mars quincunx Saturn close at 1.6°
When to push and when to wait took constant judging, and he learned timing the hard way.
Pluto opposition North Node close at 1.6°
Old attachments held him back from the way forward, and he grew by letting some things go.
Jupiter conjunction Uranus close at 2.0°
An inventive optimism: he believed in the new, and he took leaps others would not.
