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 planetsNorth Node in Virgo, Chiron and Lilith
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 Virgo

    The direction his life grows in: Virgo, precise and helpful.

    16°24′

  • Chiron in Aquarius

    In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.

    21°33′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Virgo

    In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.

    15°46′

The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.

Aspects by strength16 between the planets, the closest first
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.

  • Pluto opposition North Node exact at 0.0°

    Old attachments held him back from the way forward, and he grew by letting some things go.

  • Mars sextile Uranus almost exact at 0.6°

    Quick and inventive in action: he moved fast, broke with habit and made sudden changes work.

  • Mars sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.8°

    Stamina and willpower: he kept going long after others stopped, and he did his best work under pressure.

  • Mars trine North Node almost exact at 0.9°

    Courage moved him forward, and each bold step took him further along his path.

  • Uranus trine Pluto close at 1.4°

    He could help change things at the root, and upheaval suited him.

  • Uranus sextile North Node close at 1.5°

    Change helped him forward: he grew by trying the new.

  • Mercury sextile Neptune close at 2.1°

    He thought in pictures and music: his words carried a mood, and his imagination gave his ideas colour.

  • The Sun conjunction Venus close at 2.6°

    Charm came naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things were close to his core.

  • The Moon conjunction Saturn wide at 3.1°

    Self-contained: he kept his feelings in order, and he gave comfort in practical ways rather than in words.

  • Mercury square Jupiter wide at 5.3°

    Big ideas and loose details: he thought on a large scale, and the small print was where things got away from him.

  • Venus trine Jupiter wide at 5.5°

    Affection came to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism helped each other.

  • The Sun sextile Saturn wide at 5.5°

    Purpose and patience worked as a team: he built slowly and got better with every year.

  • Mercury square Mars wide at 5.8°

    Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argued well, sometimes too well, and a debate was a kind of sport to him.

  • Saturn square Pluto wide at 6.2°

    Heavy demands and hard limits: he faced a great deal of pressure and came out tougher for it.

  • Saturn square North Node wide at 6.2°

    Duty and growth competed: what he owed others and where he needed to go called for hard choices.

  • The Sun trine Jupiter wide at 8.1°

    His confidence came easily and spread: he thought big, and other people wanted to come along.
