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.
25°40′
Moon in Sagittarius
The Moon moved from Scorpio into Sagittarius at 7:21 a.m. that day, local time: in Scorpio for a birth before then, in Sagittarius for one after.
2°18′
Mercury in Leo
The Storyteller. A voice that carries.
7°06′
Venus in Gemini
The Charmer. Love through conversation.
11°19′

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.
14°33′
Chiron in Gemini
In Gemini, Chiron is an old fear of not being heard, which becomes a gift for finding the words others lack.
27°12′
Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Lilith is a free mind that keeps only the beliefs it chose.
2°05′
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.
Mars sextile Jupiter almost exact at 0.5°
Big drive and big confidence: he went after large goals, and his enthusiasm carried others along.
Uranus quincunx North Node close at 1.3°
Sudden changes kept shifting the way forward, and he adapted each time.
Mercury trine Saturn close at 2.0°
A patient, exact mind: he chose every word, and his thinking got sharper with practice.
Neptune square North Node close at 2.3°
Dreams and the way forward clashed, and growing meant trading some illusions for clear sight.
The Sun conjunction Pluto close at 2.6°
Intensity at the centre: he wanted the whole truth about everything, himself first, and he remade himself more than once to reach it.
The Moon trine Saturn close at 2.8°
Steady feelings: he kept calm under strain, and he loved in ways that lasted.
