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 Virgo
The Fixer. Precise, useful and kind.
25°29′
Moon in Capricorn
The Moon moved from Sagittarius into Capricorn at 1:42 a.m. that day, local time: in Sagittarius for a birth before then, in Capricorn for one after.
5°56′
Mercury in Libra
The Mediator. Both sides of the question.
19°44′
Venus in Leo
The Romantic. Grand, generous love.
23°58′

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 Leo
The direction his life grows in: Leo, warm and dramatic.
26°53′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
3°13′
Black Moon Lilith in Leo
In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.
25°30′
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.
Jupiter quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.5°
Some hopes had to be let go to fit the way forward, and he chose which ones.
Jupiter quincunx Uranus almost exact at 0.6°
His hopes and his restlessness kept changing places, and he redrew his plans more than once.
Venus quincunx Saturn almost exact at 0.7°
He kept weighing pleasure against duty, and joy came once the work was done.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.0°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Uranus conjunction North Node close at 1.1°
An unusual path: his direction in life came through sudden turns and fresh starts.
Mercury conjunction Mars close at 1.4°
He thought fast and spoke faster: his mind liked a contest, and his words had an edge.
