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 Leo
The Bright One. Warm, proud and generous.
8°52′
Moon in Aries
The Quick Flame. Quick to flare, quick to forgive.
13°43′
Mercury in Leo
The Storyteller. A voice that carries.
7°35′
Venus in Cancer
The Nurturer. Love that makes a home.
11°26′
Mars in Virgo
Mars moved from Leo into Virgo at 1:27 a.m. that day, local time: in Leo for a birth before then, in Virgo 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.
4°28′
Chiron in Leo
In Leo, Chiron is a quiet doubt about deserving the light, and a gift for helping others shine without apology.
17°23′
Black Moon Lilith in Gemini
In Gemini, Lilith is the quick tongue that says out loud what the room only thinks.
27°06′
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.
Venus conjunction Jupiter almost exact at 0.3°
A generous heart: love and good company came to him easily, and he shared both.
Uranus square North Node almost exact at 0.5°
The way forward asked for steadiness, and the urge for change kept breaking in.
The Sun sextile Saturn close at 1.1°
Purpose and patience worked as a team: he built slowly and got better with every year.
The Sun conjunction Mercury close at 1.3°
His mind and his identity were close together: he spoke as he thought, and his ideas were part of who he was.
Uranus sextile Pluto close at 1.5°
He could help change things at the root, and upheaval suited him.
The Moon square Jupiter close at 2.0°
His feelings ran large: he wanted more comfort, more company and more of everything than any one day gave.
