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 Taurus
The Gardener. Steady, sensual and sure.
0°45′
Moon in Aquarius
The Moon moved from Aquarius into Pisces at 11:41 p.m. that day, local time: in Aquarius for a birth before then, in Pisces for one after.

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 Virgo
The direction his life grows in: Virgo, precise and helpful.
16°40′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
8°49′
Black Moon Lilith in Leo
In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.
21°13′
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.
The Sun square Jupiter almost exact at 0.7°
He reaches for more than one life can hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
Venus trine Jupiter close at 2.1°
Affection comes to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism help each other.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 2.8°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Uranus sextile North Node wide at 3.1°
Change helps him forward: he grows by trying the new.
Mercury trine Jupiter wide at 3.4°
A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learns easily, tells a good story and sees the big picture.
Neptune square North Node wide at 3.6°
Dreams and the way forward clash, and growing means trading some illusions for clear sight.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Mercury conjunction Venus wide at 5.5°
Words with charm in them: he has an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people like listening to him.
Mars opposition Pluto wide at 6.3°
A fierce will: he meets opposition head on, and a fight brings out his full strength.
The Sun trine Saturn wide at 6.6°
Purpose and patience work as a team: he builds slowly and gets better with every year.
Mercury conjunction Mars wide at 7.7°
He thinks fast and speaks faster: his mind likes a contest, and his words have an edge.
