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 Capricorn
The Architect. Ambitious, patient and dry.
12°22′
Moon in Virgo
The Moon moved from Leo into Virgo at 11:26 a.m. that day, local time: in Leo for a birth before then, in Virgo for one after.
0°17′
Mercury in Sagittarius
The Philosopher. The big picture.
20°04′
Venus in Aquarius
The Kindred Spirit. Friend first, lover too.
22°15′

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 Cancer
The direction his life grows in: Cancer, protective and caring.
25°32′
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.
23°46′
Black Moon Lilith in Leo
In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.
12°29′
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 Saturn almost exact at 0.8°
Love felt like something to be earned, and he held back until he was sure of it.
Saturn trine Uranus close at 1.0°
Old and new sat well together: he could change things without throwing out what worked.
The Sun opposition Pluto close at 1.3°
Nothing about him was halfway: he insisted on running his own life, and the struggle made him formidable.
Saturn square Neptune close at 1.4°
The dream and the hard work seldom agreed on terms: his discipline and his imagination asked different things of him.
Mercury square Uranus close at 2.0°
His mind ran ahead of the conversation: he said the unexpected thing, and not everyone was ready to hear it.
Venus opposition Neptune close at 2.2°
He loved the dream of a person, and the real one had to compete with it.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Mercury sextile Venus close at 2.2°
A graceful mind: he spoke kindly and well, and he knew how to say a hard thing gently.
Uranus quincunx Neptune close at 2.4°
Sudden change and slow dreams kept adjusting to each other.
Saturn trine North Node close at 2.5°
Discipline helped him grow: patience and hard work kept him on course.
Uranus trine North Node wide at 3.5°
Change helped him forward: he grew by trying the new.
Jupiter opposition North Node wide at 3.9°
Easy hopes and the harder way forward went different ways, and real growth came from the harder one.
Mercury trine Neptune wide at 4.4°
He thought in pictures and music: his words carried a mood, and his imagination gave his ideas colour.
