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 Sagittarius
The Explorer. Honest, free and far-seeing.
22°17′
Moon in Scorpio
The Moon moved from Scorpio into Sagittarius at 12:01 p.m. that day, local time: in Scorpio for a birth before then, in Sagittarius 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.
6°52′
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.
23°56′
Black Moon Lilith in Pisces
In Pisces, Lilith is a dreamer who wants no rescuing, with a private world all its own.
19°38′
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 trine North Node almost exact at 0.7°
Love and friendship moved him forward: the people he cared for helped him find his way.
The Moon conjunction Mars close at 1.6°
His feelings ran hot and fast, and he protected the people he loved fiercely.
Saturn quincunx Neptune close at 1.7°
Duty and dreams kept trading places as the priority.
Jupiter quincunx North Node close at 1.7°
Some hopes had to be let go to fit the way forward, and he chose which ones.
Mercury opposition Neptune close at 2.3°

Venus square Jupiter close at 2.4°
He loved too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures ran past what one life could use.

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.
