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 Libra
The Diplomat. Grace, fairness and balance.
6°15′
Moon in Virgo
The Moon moved from Leo into Virgo at 12:40 a.m. that day, local time: in Leo for a birth before then, in Virgo for one after.
5°35′
Mercury in Libraretrograde
The Mediator. Both sides of the question.
19°46′
Venus in Virgo
The Quiet Romantic. Love in small attentions.
10°37′
Mars in Scorpio
The Strategist. Will under a still surface.

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.
22°30′
Black Moon Lilith in Virgo
In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.
16°38′
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.
Mercury sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.8°
A probing mind: he got to the bottom of things, and his words had power when he chose to use them.
Venus sextile Mars close at 1.6°
Charm and desire worked together: he knew what he wanted in love and how to win it.
Pluto quincunx North Node close at 1.9°
He kept giving up a little control to keep growing.
Uranus trine North Node close at 2.2°
Change helped him forward: he grew by trying the new.
Mercury square North Node close at 2.7°
Old ideas and the way forward were at odds, and he learned new ways of thinking to move on.
Jupiter trine Neptune close at 2.9°
Faith and imagination together: he believed in people and ideals, and that belief was catching.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Mercury sextile Neptune close at 2.9°
He thought in pictures and music: his words carried a mood, and his imagination gave his ideas colour.
Venus square Jupiter wide at 3.4°
He loved too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures ran past what one life could use.
Neptune trine Pluto wide at 3.7°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Uranus square Pluto wide at 4.2°
Upheaval and the urge to break free ran strong, and he pushed for change rather than waiting for it.
Mars square Neptune wide at 4.7°
Drive and dreams mixed uneasily: the goal was clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.
Jupiter conjunction Pluto wide at 6.6°
Large ambitions and the will to see them through: he worked on a grand scale.
