Planets

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.

The Sun moved from Capricorn into Aquarius at 7:16 a.m. that day, local time: in Capricorn for a birth before then, in Aquarius for one after.
0°12′
Moon in Aries
The Moon moved from Pisces into Aries at 3:49 a.m. that day, local time: in Pisces for a birth before then, in Aries 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 Pisces
The direction his life grows in: Pisces, dreamy and compassionate.
4°03′
Chiron in Libra
In Libra, Chiron is a soft spot around being chosen and kept, and a gift for making others feel met as equals.
26°39′
Black Moon Lilith in Pisces
In Pisces, Lilith is a dreamer who wants no rescuing, with a private world all its own.
23°45′
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 square Saturn almost exact at 0.2°
He doubted his own ideas before anyone else could, and so he checked every one twice.
Jupiter quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.6°
Some hopes had to be let go to fit the way forward, and he chose which ones.
The Moon trine Jupiter almost exact at 0.6°
Good-hearted and generous: he felt looked after by life, and he passed that on.
Mercury sextile Venus close at 1.0°
A graceful mind: he spoke kindly and well, and he knew how to say a hard thing gently.
Saturn quincunx Neptune close at 2.4°
Duty and dreams kept trading places as the priority.
Mercury trine Neptune close at 2.5°
He thought in pictures and music: his words carried a mood, and his imagination gave his ideas colour.

Venus opposition Neptune wide at 3.5°
He loved the dream of a person, and the real one had to compete with it.
The Sun opposition Jupiter wide at 4.5°
He reached for more than one life could hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
Neptune conjunction Pluto wide at 4.6°
Imagination and intensity in one place, a meeting that comes about once in five hundred years: a feel for how things end and begin again.
Mercury square Uranus wide at 5.8°
His mind ran ahead of the conversation: he said the unexpected thing, and not everyone was ready to hear it.
Saturn conjunction Uranus wide at 5.9°
Disciplined originality: he built new things on solid foundations.
The Sun sextile Uranus wide at 6.3°
Independence came easily: he did things his own way, and people found it refreshing rather than rude.
Pluto square North Node wide at 6.9°
Old attachments held him back from the way forward, and he grew by letting some things go.
Chart signature
What’s this?Close
The chart’s balance at a glance: which of the four elements and three modes it leans on, which body is most connected, and any body standing alone.

Modes
The Moon changed sign that day; it is counted where it stood at noon.
No earth at all, so the practical, settled side was the one he had to find.
