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 Virgo
The Fixer. Precise, useful and kind.
19°50′
Moon in Leo
The Moon moved from Leo into Virgo at 12:03 p.m. that day, local time: in Leo for a birth before then, in Virgo 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 Cancer
The direction his life grows in: Cancer, protective and caring.
4°59′
Chiron in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Chiron is a restless question about what it all means, and a gift for lending others a wider view.
27°51′
Black Moon Lilith in Aries
In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.
29°48′
The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.
Patterns
What’s this?Close
When several aspects lock into one shape, such as a triangle or a cross, the planets in it act together, and the shape says how: easily, under strain, or with one planet as the focus.
Stellium
Three or more planets gathered in one sign or one house, so that part of the chart speaks loudest.
In his chart, his discipline, his independence and his intensity (Saturn, Uranus and Pluto) gather in Taurus, and that part of life drew his attention first.
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 sextile Jupiter almost exact at 0.9°
His confidence came easily and spread: he thought big, and other people wanted to come along.
Jupiter opposition Saturn close at 1.1°
Growth and caution kept checking each other: he moved forward in bursts, then paused to consolidate.
The Moon trine Pluto close at 1.5°
His feelings ran deep and held steady: he came through hard times with more strength than he went in with.
Mercury sextile North Node close at 1.6°
His way with words helped him find his direction, and the right ideas came at the right time.
Mercury trine Uranus close at 1.6°
A quick, original mind: ideas arrived in flashes, and he saw answers others missed.
Uranus sextile Neptune close at 1.7°
Change and idealism went together: new ideas came wrapped in dreams of a better world.
