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.
13°13′
Moon in Leo
The Warm Heart. Warm heart, big feelings.
9°02′
Mercury in Aries
The Spark. First to speak.
28°04′
Venus in Aries
Venus moved from Aries into Taurus at 3:56 p.m. that day, local time: in Aries for a birth before then, in Taurus for one after.
29°48′

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.
23°19′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
1°46′
Black Moon Lilith in Gemini
In Gemini, Lilith is the quick tongue that says out loud what the room only thinks.
29°30′
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.
Grand trine
Three planets in an easy triangle, each in flowing contact with the other two: a gift that comes without effort.
In his chart, his mind, his optimism and his intensity (Mercury in Aries, Jupiter in Capricorn and Pluto in Virgo) make the triangle, so these come to him naturally.
Grand trine
Three planets in an easy triangle, each in flowing contact with the other two: a gift that comes without effort.
In his chart, his heart, his optimism and his intensity (Venus in Aries, Jupiter in Capricorn and Pluto in Virgo) make the triangle, so these come to him naturally.
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 trine Pluto almost exact at 0.3°
Ambition with depth: he knows how to build influence, and he uses it to make big changes.
Mars opposition North Node almost exact at 0.8°
Old fights and the way forward disagree, and he grows by choosing which battles matter.
The Moon square Neptune close at 1.4°
His feelings and his imagination pull in different directions: he lives between what is real and what he longs for.
Saturn quincunx Uranus close at 1.4°
When to keep the rules and when to break them takes constant deciding.
Mercury conjunction Venus close at 1.7°
Words with charm in them: he has an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people like listening to him.
Venus trine Jupiter wide at 3.5°
Affection comes to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism help each other.
