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 Leo
The Bright One. Warm, proud and generous.
26°05′
Moon in Capricorn
The Moon moved from Sagittarius into Capricorn at 2:31 a.m. that day, local time: in Sagittarius for a birth before then, in Capricorn 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.
8°14′
Chiron in Libra
In Libra, Chiron is a soft spot around being chosen and kept, and a gift for making others feel met as equals.
3°10′
Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Lilith is an intensity and a private power that stay unexplained.
1°11′
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 identity, his mind and his intensity (the Sun, Mercury and Pluto) gather in Leo, and that part of life draws 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 Moon square Neptune almost exact at 0.3°
His feelings and his imagination pull in different directions: he lives between what is real and what he longs for.
Mars conjunction Uranus close at 1.1°
Electric: he acts on impulse, loves a risk and refuses to be told what to do.
The Sun conjunction Mercury close at 2.1°
His mind and his identity are close together: he speaks as he thinks, and his ideas are part of who he is.
Venus conjunction Saturn close at 2.7°
Serious about love: he gives affection slowly, and once given, it stays given.
The Moon opposition North Node wide at 3.2°
Home comforts and the way forward ask for different things, and growing means leaving some familiar things behind.
Neptune square North Node wide at 3.5°
Dreams and the way forward clash, and growing means trading some illusions for clear sight.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Jupiter conjunction Neptune wide at 5.9°
A dreamer’s faith: he believes in something larger, and his compassion and his hopes go together.
Chart signature
What’s this?Close
The chart’s balance at a glance: which of the four elements and three modes it leans on, which body is most connected, and any body standing alone.

The Moon changed sign that day; it is counted where it stood at noon.
