Sun in Leo
The Bright One. Warm, proud and generous.

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 Aquarius
The direction his life grows in: Aquarius, independent and original.
3°08′
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.
16°13′
Black Moon Lilith in Virgo
In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.
25°59′
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, his drive and his intensity (the Sun, Mercury, Mars and Pluto) gather in Leo, and that part of life drew his attention first.
Stellium
Three or more planets gathered in one sign or one house, so that part of the chart speaks loudest.
In his chart, his feelings, his discipline and his imagination (the Moon, Saturn and Neptune) gather in Libra, and that part of life drew 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 Sun sextile Neptune almost exact at 0.1°
Imagination and identity worked together: he could become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
Mercury opposition North Node almost exact at 0.2°
Old ideas and the way forward were at odds, and he learned new ways of thinking to move on.
Saturn sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.2°
Endurance: he could work through hard times, and what he built survived pressure.
Jupiter trine Neptune almost exact at 0.7°
Faith and imagination together: he believed in people and ideals, and that belief was catching.
The Sun sextile Jupiter almost exact at 0.8°
His confidence came easily and spread: he thought big, and other people wanted to come along.
Uranus square Neptune almost exact at 0.8°
The urge for change and the longing for ideals clashed, and he lived with both.
