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 Cancer
The Protector. Home, memory and care.
21°41′
Moon in Pisces
The Moon moved from Aquarius into Pisces at 11:14 a.m. that day, local time: in Aquarius for a birth before then, in Pisces 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 Sagittarius
The direction his life grows in: Sagittarius, free and far-ranging.
24°56′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
6°11′
Black Moon Lilith in Gemini
In Gemini, Lilith is the quick tongue that says out loud what the room only thinks.
9°56′
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.
Saturn square Uranus almost exact at 0.1°
Tradition and rebellion fought in him: he wanted security and freedom, and could rarely have both at once.
Mars conjunction Neptune almost exact at 0.7°
Action guided by imagination: he moved on instinct and feeling, and he gave his all to a vision.
The Sun sextile Jupiter almost exact at 0.8°
His confidence came easily and spread: he thought big, and other people wanted to come along.
Jupiter square North Node close at 2.4°
Easy hopes and the harder way forward went different ways, and real growth came from the harder one.
Mercury square Mars close at 2.5°
Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argued well, sometimes too well, and a debate was a kind of sport to him.
The Sun sextile Saturn wide at 3.2°
Purpose and patience worked as a team: he built slowly and got better with every year.

Mercury square Neptune wide at 3.2°
Facts and dreams blurred together in his mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details mattered.
The Sun quincunx North Node wide at 3.2°
The way forward asked him to bend habits that felt like part of who he was.
Venus square Saturn wide at 3.5°
Love felt like something to be earned, and he held back until he was sure of it.
Venus conjunction Uranus wide at 3.6°
Love at first sight, and freedom after it: the different and the new won his heart.
Jupiter square Uranus wide at 4.0°
Restless hope: he wanted more freedom than any situation gave, and big changes came suddenly.
Jupiter conjunction Saturn wide at 4.0°
Optimism with a plan: his hopes were practical, and he built them slowly into something real.
Mercury sextile Pluto wide at 4.2°
A probing mind: he got to the bottom of things, and his words had power when he chose to use them.
Uranus opposition North Node wide at 6.4°
The way forward asked for steadiness, and the urge for change kept breaking in.
Saturn square North Node wide at 6.5°
Duty and growth competed: what he owed others and where he needed to go called for hard choices.
