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.
27°54′
Moon in Pisces
The Moon moved from Pisces into Aries at 4:26 p.m. that day, local time: in Pisces for a birth before then, in Aries for one after.
27°33′
Mercury in Aries
The Spark. First to speak.
3°44′
Venus in Pisces
The Tender Heart. Love without limits.
22°25′

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 Gemini
The direction his life grows in: Gemini, curious and quick-witted.
3°00′
Chiron in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Chiron is a wariness about trust that runs deep, and the strength to stay close when others are at their lowest.
6°07′
Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.
8°38′
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.
Mercury sextile North Node almost exact at 0.7°
His way with words helps him find his direction, and the right ideas come at the right time.
Saturn sextile North Node almost exact at 0.8°
Discipline helps him grow: patience and hard work keep him on course.
Mercury conjunction Mars close at 1.6°
He thinks fast and speaks faster: his mind likes a contest, and his words have an edge.
Mercury trine Saturn close at 1.6°
A patient, exact mind: he chooses every word, and his thinking gets sharper with practice.
The Moon trine Jupiter close at 1.8°
Good-hearted and generous: he feels looked after by life, and he passes that on.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 2.0°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
