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 Cancer
The Protector. Home, memory and care.
22°57′
Moon in Leo
The Moon moved from Leo into Virgo at 10:55 p.m. that day, local time: in Leo for a birth before then, in Virgo for one after.
24°39′
Mercury in Cancer
The Remembering Mind. A memory for tone.
3°25′
Venus in Gemini
The Charmer. Love through conversation.

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 Leo
The direction his life grows in: Leo, warm and dramatic.
27°27′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
6°06′
Black Moon Lilith in Leo
In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.
18°18′
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.
Mercury quincunx Jupiter almost exact at 0.1°
The facts and the bigger picture need constant reconciling, and he keeps checking one against the other.
Venus quincunx Neptune almost exact at 0.5°
What he wants from love and what love gives him keep needing adjustment, and he learns to see people as they are.
The Moon conjunction Uranus almost exact at 0.6°
Restless feelings: he feels most at home where things are new.
Saturn quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.6°
Responsibility and growth need steady balancing, and he learns which duties to keep.
Venus square Mars almost exact at 0.9°
In love he wants tenderness and a chase at once, and his relationships are rarely calm.
Mars sextile Neptune close at 1.4°
He works for ideals: his drive comes alive for a cause, a role or a dream.
