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 Capricorn
The Architect. Ambitious, patient and dry.
18°40′
Moon in Leo
The Moon moved from Cancer into Leo at 4:42 a.m. that day, local time: in Cancer for a birth before then, in Leo for one after.
4°19′
Mercury in Capricorn

The Adventurer. Love as an adventure.

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 Capricorn
The direction his life grows in: Capricorn, ambitious and patient.
5°32′
Chiron in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Chiron is the feeling of having grown up too soon, and a gift for showing others how to stand on their own.
28°27′
Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Lilith is an intensity and a private power that stay unexplained.
23°21′
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.
Yod
Two planets in easy contact both point awkwardly at a third, which becomes the focus: a talent that takes constant adjusting.
In his chart, his mind (Mercury in Capricorn) and his drive (Mars in Pisces) both point at his intensity (Pluto in Leo), the part of him that keeps needing adjustment and gives his life its focus.

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 trine Uranus almost exact at 0.1°
Quick and inventive in action: he moves fast, breaks with habit and makes sudden changes work.
Mercury square Neptune almost exact at 0.2°
Facts and dreams blur together in his mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details matter.
Jupiter conjunction Uranus almost exact at 0.2°
An inventive optimism: he believes in the new, and he takes leaps others would not.
Mars quincunx Pluto almost exact at 0.3°
Force and restraint keep trading places, and he learns when to let go.
Mars trine Jupiter almost exact at 0.3°
Big drive and big confidence: he goes after large goals, and his enthusiasm carries others along.
The Sun sextile Saturn almost exact at 0.4°
Purpose and patience work as a team: he builds slowly and gets better with every year.
