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.

Beyond the planetsNorth Node in Taurus, Chiron and Lilith
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 Taurus

    The direction his life grows in: Taurus, steady and sensual.

    7°01′

  • 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.

    19°33′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Pisces

    In Pisces, Lilith is a dreamer who wants no rescuing, with a private world all its own.

    3°50′

The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.

Aspects by strength14 between the planets, the closest first
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 Moon opposition Mars almost exact at 0.5°

    Quick feelings and a quick temper: he reacts first, and his courage comes from the same place as his flashes of anger.

  • The Sun sextile Uranus close at 1.4°

    Independence comes easily: he does things his own way, and people find it refreshing rather than rude.

  • Mercury sextile Venus close at 2.6°

    A graceful mind: he speaks kindly and well, and he knows how to say a hard thing gently.

  • Saturn sextile Uranus close at 3.0°

    Old and new sit well together: he can change things without throwing out what works.

  • Mars sextile Saturn wide at 3.4°

    His drive and his discipline work together easily: he can push hard and keep going.

  • Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 3.8°

    A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.

  • Jupiter trine Pluto wide at 4.1°

    Ambition with depth: he knows how to build influence, and he uses it to make big changes.

  • Mars sextile Jupiter wide at 4.2°

    Big drive and big confidence: he goes after large goals, and his enthusiasm carries others along.

  • The Sun conjunction Saturn wide at 4.4°

    Serious from early on: purpose and duty are one thing to him, and he treats his own life as work to be done well.

  • Venus square Neptune wide at 4.5°

    He loves the dream of a person, and the real one has to compete with it.

  • The Sun trine North Node wide at 5.8°

    The direction his life takes suits him: being himself and growing go hand in hand.

  • Mercury trine North Node wide at 6.1°

    His way with words helps him find his direction, and the right ideas come at the right time.

  • Mercury square Jupiter wide at 6.1°

    Big ideas and loose details: he thinks on a large scale, and the small print is where things get away from him.

  • Mars trine Uranus wide at 6.4°

    Quick and inventive in action: he moves fast, breaks with habit and makes sudden changes work.
