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.

Beyond the planetsNorth Node in Taurus and Lilith
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.

    25°53′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Libra

    In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.

    25°35′

The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.

Aspects by strength11 between the planets, the closest first
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.

  • Venus quincunx Saturn almost exact at 0.1°

    He kept weighing pleasure against duty, and joy came once the work was done.

  • Pluto trine North Node almost exact at 0.1°

    Deep change helped him forward: each time he started over, he went further.

  • The Moon square Mars almost exact at 0.2°

    Quick feelings and a quick temper: he reacted first, and his courage came from the same place as his flashes of anger.

  • The Sun opposition Uranus almost exact at 0.5°

    He needed room to be himself, and any rule that fit too tightly got broken.

  • Venus trine Jupiter almost exact at 0.8°

    Affection came to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism helped each other.

  • Mercury square Mars close at 1.7°

    Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argued well, sometimes too well, and a debate was a kind of sport to him.

  • The Moon conjunction Mercury close at 1.9°

    He thought with his feelings: memory, mood and wit came together, and his words gave away what he felt.

  • Neptune trine Pluto close at 2.1°

    A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.

  • Neptune conjunction North Node close at 2.3°

    A path lit by imagination: he followed a vision more than a plan.

  • The Sun square Jupiter wide at 7.7°

    He reached for more than one life could hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.

  • The Sun trine Saturn wide at 8.3°

    Purpose and patience worked as a team: he built slowly and got better with every year.
