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 Aries

    The Pioneer. First in, first to try.

    6°28′

  • Moon in Cancer

    The Moon moved from Cancer into Leo at 8:55 p.m. that day, local time: in Cancer for a birth before then, in Leo for one after.

    24°41′

  • Mercury in Aries

    The Spark. First to speak.

    25°09′

  • Venus in Pisces

    The Tender Heart. Love without limits.

    10°14′

  • Mars in Gemini

    The Multitasker. Quick with the comeback.

    25°13′

Beyond the planetsNorth Node in Aries, Chiron 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 Aries

    The direction his life grows in: Aries, bold and direct.

    21°38′

  • Chiron in Pisces

    In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.

    8°32′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn

    In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.

    22°11′

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

Aspects by strength13 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.

  • Mercury sextile Mars almost exact at 0.1°

    A quick, direct mind: he made decisions fast and said what he meant.

  • The Moon square Mercury almost exact at 0.5°

    His head and his feelings argued: he knew what he thought before he knew what he felt, or the other way round.

  • Neptune square North Node almost exact at 0.6°

    Dreams and the way forward clashed, and growing meant trading some illusions for clear sight.

  • Mars conjunction Pluto close at 1.8°

    Concentrated force: when he wanted something, he went after it with everything.

  • Mercury sextile Pluto close at 1.8°

    A probing mind: he got to the bottom of things, and his words had power when he chose to use them.

  • Jupiter quincunx Saturn close at 2.3°

    When to expand and when to hold back took constant rethinking.

  • Saturn sextile Neptune wide at 3.4°

  • Mercury conjunction North Node wide at 3.5°

    Ideas and talk set his course: he found his direction by learning and talking things through.

  • Mars sextile North Node wide at 3.6°

    Courage moved him forward, and each bold step took him further along his path.

  • The Sun sextile Uranus wide at 3.7°

    Independence came easily: he did things his own way, and people found it refreshing rather than rude.

  • Mercury square Neptune wide at 4.2°

    Facts and dreams blurred together in his mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details mattered.

  • Venus square Jupiter wide at 5.1°

    He loved too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures ran past what one life could use.

    Hope helped him grow: faith in what was possible kept him moving forward.
