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 Aquarius

    The Free Thinker. Original, free and humane.

    8°16′

  • Moon in Taurus

    The Hearth. Calm, sensual and steady.

    13°49′

  • Mercury in Capricorn

    The Planner. Foundations first.

    24°15′

  • Venus in Sagittarius

    The Adventurer. Love as an adventure.

    21°27′

  • Mars in Scorpio

    Mars moved from Scorpio into Sagittarius at 7:49 p.m. that day, local time: in Scorpio for a birth before then, in Sagittarius for one after.

    29°48′

Beyond the planetsNorth Node in Scorpio, 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 Scorpio

    The direction her life grows in: Scorpio, intense and private.

    13°32′

  • Chiron in Cancer

    In Cancer, Chiron is an early longing to belong somewhere, and a knack for making strangers feel at home.

    5°12′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius

    In Aquarius, Lilith is the outsider’s streak, at its best when it does not fit in.

    4°19′

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

Aspects by strength13 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.

  • The Moon conjunction Uranus exact at 0.0°

    Restless feelings: she feels most at home where things are new.

  • The Moon opposition North Node almost exact at 0.3°

    Home comforts and the way forward ask for different things, and growing means leaving some familiar things behind.

  • Uranus opposition North Node almost exact at 0.3°

    The way forward asks for steadiness, and the urge for change keeps breaking in.

  • Mars trine Pluto almost exact at 0.4°

    Stamina and willpower: she keeps going long after others stop, and she does her best work under pressure.

  • Saturn quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.5°

    Responsibility and growth need steady balancing, and she learns which duties to keep.

  • Mercury trine Neptune close at 1.2°

    She thinks in pictures and music: her words carry a mood, and her imagination gives her ideas colour.

Show more aspectsShow fewer
  • Venus square Neptune close at 1.6°

    She loves the dream of a person, and the real one has to compete with it.

  • The Sun sextile Saturn wide at 4.8°

    Purpose and patience work as a team: she builds slowly and gets better with every year.

  • The Sun square North Node wide at 5.3°

    Being herself and growing ask for different things, and her biggest steps forward come when she stretches past her habits.

  • The Sun square Uranus wide at 5.6°

    She needs room to be herself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.

  • Mercury opposition Pluto wide at 6.0°

    Her words have force: she speaks to persuade, and she keeps her own counsel until the right moment.

  • Mars square Jupiter wide at 6.6°

    She takes on more than any one person can, and her boldness runs ahead of her plans.

  • The Sun opposition Pluto wide at 8.1°

    Nothing about her is halfway: she insists on running her own life, and the struggle makes her formidable.
