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 Leo
The Bright One. Warm, proud and generous.
0°55′
Moon in Cancer
The Moon moved from Cancer into Leo at 11:21 p.m. that day, local time: in Cancer for a birth before then, in Leo 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 Taurus
The direction his life grows in: Taurus, steady and sensual.
13°50′
Chiron in Leo
In Leo, Chiron is a quiet doubt about deserving the light, and a gift for helping others shine without apology.
19°50′
Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Lilith is an intensity and a private power that stay unexplained.
1°40′
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.
T-square
Two planets pull against each other, and a third stands at right angles to both, where the strain gathers.
In his chart, his optimism (Jupiter in Aries) and his independence (Uranus in Scorpio) face each other across the wheel, and his identity (the Sun in Leo) took the strain: the part of him that worked hardest.
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 Moon square Jupiter almost exact at 0.6°
His feelings ran large: he wanted more comfort, more company and more of everything than any one day gave.
The Sun square Uranus close at 1.1°
He needed room to be himself, and any rule that fit too tightly got broken.
Neptune conjunction Pluto close at 1.1°
Imagination and intensity in one place, a meeting that comes about once in five hundred years: a feel for how things end and begin again.
Mars square North Node close at 1.4°
Old fights and the way forward disagreed, and he grew by choosing which battles mattered.
Jupiter quincunx Saturn close at 1.9°
When to expand and when to hold back took constant rethinking.
Venus sextile North Node close at 2.9°
Love and friendship moved him forward: the people he cared for helped him find his way.

Mercury trine Jupiter wide at 3.2°
A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learned easily, told a good story and saw the big picture.
Mars trine Neptune wide at 4.6°
He worked for ideals: his drive came alive for a cause, a role or a dream.
The Sun sextile Saturn wide at 4.8°
Purpose and patience worked as a team: he built slowly and got better with every year.
Mars trine Pluto wide at 5.8°
Stamina and willpower: he kept going long after others stopped, and he did his best work under pressure.
The Sun square Jupiter wide at 6.7°
He reached for more than one life could hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
Jupiter opposition Uranus wide at 7.9°
Restless hope: he wanted more freedom than any situation gave, and big changes came suddenly.
