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 Pisces
The Dreamer. Gentle, dreamy and deep.

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 Sagittarius
The direction his life grows in: Sagittarius, free and far-ranging.
26°47′
Black Moon Lilith in Virgo
In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.
14°19′
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.
The Moon square Pluto almost exact at 0.3°
He loved hard and held on hard, and letting go took him a long time.
Jupiter sextile Uranus close at 1.4°
Sudden openings: he spotted new chances early and jumped at them.
Mercury trine Jupiter close at 2.0°
A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learned easily, told a good story and saw the big picture.
Venus square North Node close at 2.7°
What felt comfortable in love and what helped him grow were different things, and he chose between them more than once.
Neptune trine Pluto close at 3.0°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Venus conjunction Saturn wide at 3.2°
Serious about love: he gave affection slowly, and once given, it stayed given.

Saturn square North Node wide at 5.9°
Duty and growth competed: what he owed others and where he needed to go called for hard choices.
Jupiter trine Neptune wide at 6.1°
Faith and imagination together: he believed in people and ideals, and that belief was catching.
Venus trine Mars wide at 6.2°
Charm and desire worked together: he knew what he wanted in love and how to win it.
