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 Aries
The Pioneer. First in, first to try.
28°11′
Moon in Scorpio
The Vault. Deep water, kept private.
7°16′
Mercury in Aries
The Spark. First to speak.
1°54′
Venus in Taurus
Venus moved from Aries into Taurus at 4:06 a.m. that day, local time: in Aries for a birth before then, in Taurus 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 Capricorn
The direction his life grows in: Capricorn, ambitious and patient.
10°22′
Chiron in Aries
In Aries, Chiron is a doubt about the right to go first, and with it a talent for giving others their nerve.
17°29′
Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Lilith is a free mind that keeps only the beliefs it chose.
16°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.
Grand trine
Three planets in an easy triangle, each in flowing contact with the other two: a gift that comes without effort.
In his chart, his drive, his discipline and his independence (Mars in Aquarius, Saturn in Gemini and Uranus in Libra) make the triangle, so these come to him naturally.
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.
Mercury opposition Pluto almost exact at 0.5°
His words have force: he speaks to persuade, and he keeps his own counsel until the right moment.
Mars trine Saturn close at 1.2°
His drive and his discipline work together easily: he can push hard and keep going.
Venus quincunx Pluto close at 2.0°
Affection and the need for control keep getting in each other’s way, and trust takes him time.
The Moon square Jupiter close at 2.1°
His feelings run large: he wants more comfort, more company and more of everything than any one day gives.
The Sun conjunction Venus close at 2.2°
Charm comes naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things are close to his core.
Jupiter sextile Neptune close at 2.4°
Faith and imagination together: he believes in people and ideals, and that belief is catching.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Saturn trine Uranus wide at 3.6°
Old and new sit well together: he can change things without throwing out what works.
The Sun quincunx Pluto wide at 4.2°
He keeps rebuilding himself to fit what life asks, and control is the hardest thing to give up.
Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 4.6°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Mars trine Uranus wide at 4.7°
Quick and inventive in action: he moves fast, breaks with habit and makes sudden changes work.
Mercury trine Neptune wide at 5.1°
He thinks in pictures and music: his words carry a mood, and his imagination gives his ideas colour.
Mars conjunction Jupiter wide at 6.6°
Enthusiasm at full speed: he charges at life with confidence, and setbacks slow him only briefly.
The Sun opposition Uranus wide at 7.5°
He needs room to be himself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.
