Sun in Aries
The Pioneer. First in, first to try.

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 Aquarius
The direction his life grows in: Aquarius, independent and original.
22°28′
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.
9°48′
Black Moon Lilith in Virgo
In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.
23°11′
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.
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 identity (the Sun in Aries) and his independence (Uranus in Libra) face each other across the wheel, and his drive (Mars in Capricorn) takes the strain: the part of him that works 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.
Mars square Uranus almost exact at 0.2°
Restless and quick to rebel: he pushes against limits, and sudden decisions come with the territory.
Venus square Neptune almost exact at 0.7°
He loves the dream of a person, and the real one has to compete with it.
Mercury quincunx Pluto almost exact at 0.8°
What he knows and what he says need careful managing, and secrets sit uneasily with him.
The Sun square Mars close at 1.3°
He fights hard for what he wants, and his temper is part of his courage.
The Sun opposition Uranus close at 1.5°
He needs room to be himself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.
The Moon trine Uranus close at 1.8°
His feelings like freedom: he needs space in close ties and gives it back just as easily.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Saturn square North Node close at 2.3°
Duty and growth compete: what he owes others and where he needs to go call for hard choices.
Mercury sextile Venus wide at 3.4°
A graceful mind: he speaks kindly and well, and he knows how to say a hard thing gently.
Jupiter conjunction Neptune wide at 3.5°
A dreamer’s faith: he believes in something larger, and his compassion and his hopes go together.
The Sun trine Jupiter wide at 3.7°
His confidence comes easily and spreads: he thinks big, and other people want to come along.
Venus square Jupiter wide at 4.1°
He loves too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures run past what one life can use.
Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 4.8°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
The Sun trine Neptune wide at 7.2°
Imagination and identity work together: he can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
