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 Gemini
The Messenger. Curious and many-sided.
0°30′
Moon in Leo
The Moon moved from Leo into Virgo at 7:33 p.m. that day, local time: in Leo for a birth before then, in Virgo for one after.
26°13′
Mercury in Gemini
The Quick Wit. The messenger at home.
10°05′
Venus in Cancer
The Nurturer. Love that makes a home.

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 Leo
The direction his life grows in: Leo, warm and dramatic.
24°08′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
14°44′
Black Moon Lilith in Libra
In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.
5°08′
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 Sun square Jupiter almost exact at 0.7°
He reaches for more than one life can hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
Uranus square North Node almost exact at 0.9°
The way forward asks for steadiness, and the urge for change keeps breaking in.
Venus sextile Jupiter close at 1.2°
Affection comes to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism help each other.
Saturn square Neptune close at 1.7°
The dream and the hard work seldom agree on terms: his discipline and his imagination ask different things of him.
The Moon conjunction North Node close at 2.1°
His instincts lead the way: following his feelings is how he finds his direction.
Neptune trine North Node close at 2.3°
Imagination helps him forward, through art, ideals and care for others.

Neptune sextile Pluto close at 2.5°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
The Moon square Uranus close at 3.0°
His moods change without warning, and he wants closeness and room to breathe at the same time.
Saturn sextile Uranus wide at 3.1°
Old and new sit well together: he can change things without throwing out what works.
Venus sextile Mars wide at 3.4°
Charm and desire work together: he knows what he wants in love and how to win it.
Mercury square Mars wide at 4.3°
Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argues well, sometimes too well, and a debate is a kind of sport to him.
Mars conjunction Jupiter wide at 4.6°
Enthusiasm at full speed: he charges at life with confidence, and setbacks slow him only briefly.
Pluto sextile North Node wide at 4.8°
Deep change helps him forward: each time he starts over, he goes further.
The Sun square Mars wide at 5.2°
He fights hard for what he wants, and his temper is part of his courage.
The Sun square North Node wide at 6.4°
Being himself and growing ask for different things, and his biggest steps forward come when he stretches past his habits.
Jupiter conjunction North Node wide at 7.0°
Generosity is part of his path: teaching, travel and big ideas move him forward.
The Sun opposition Uranus wide at 7.2°
He needs room to be himself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.
