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 Libra
The Diplomat. Grace, fairness and balance.
5°39′
Moon in Libra
The Moon moved from Libra into Scorpio at 4:06 p.m. that day, local time: in Libra for a birth before then, in Scorpio for one after.
27°56′
Mercury in Scorpio
The Investigator. Hears what was left out.
0°42′
Venus in Virgo
The Quiet Romantic. Love in small attentions.

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 Capricorn
The direction his life grows in: Capricorn, ambitious and patient.
18°30′
Chiron in Gemini
In Gemini, Chiron is an old fear of not being heard, which becomes a gift for finding the words others lack.
16°18′
Black Moon Lilith in Virgo
In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.
18°39′
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.
Yod
Two planets in easy contact both point awkwardly at a third, which becomes the focus: a talent that takes constant adjusting.
In his chart, his discipline (Saturn in Pisces) and his independence (Uranus in Taurus) both point at his identity (the Sun in Libra), the part of him that kept needing adjustment and gave his life its focus.
T-square
Two planets pull against each other, and a third stands at right angles to both, where the strain gathers.
In his chart, his heart (Venus in Virgo) and his discipline (Saturn in Pisces) face each other across the wheel, and his drive (Mars in Sagittarius) took the strain: the part of him that worked hardest.
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.
Saturn sextile Uranus almost exact at 0.1°
Old and new sat well together: he could change things without throwing out what worked.
The Moon square Pluto almost exact at 0.7°
He loved hard and held on hard, and letting go took him a long time.
The Sun quincunx Saturn almost exact at 0.9°
The wish to shine and the wish to be careful needed steady adjusting: he moved forward a step, then checked it.
The Sun quincunx Uranus close at 1.1°
His restlessness kept testing his plans, so he changed course more than once to stay true to himself.
Venus opposition Saturn close at 1.9°
Love felt like something to be earned, and he held back until he was sure of it.
Venus trine Uranus close at 2.0°
He loved the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Venus square Mars close at 2.5°
In love he wanted tenderness and a chase at once, and his relationships were rarely calm.
The Moon conjunction Mercury close at 2.8°
He thought with his feelings: memory, mood and wit came together, and his words gave away what he felt.
Jupiter sextile North Node wide at 3.2°
Hope helped him grow: faith in what was possible kept him moving forward.
Neptune trine North Node wide at 3.4°
Imagination helped him forward, through art, ideals and care for others.
The Sun sextile Mars wide at 3.4°
His purpose and his drive worked together: once he decided on something, he moved on it fast.
Mercury square Pluto wide at 3.5°
His words had force: he spoke to persuade, and he kept his own counsel until the right moment.
Mercury opposition Uranus wide at 3.9°
His mind ran ahead of the conversation: he said the unexpected thing, and not everyone was ready to hear it.
Mercury trine Saturn wide at 4.0°
A patient, exact mind: he chose every word, and his thinking got sharper with practice.
Mars square Saturn wide at 4.3°
Drive with the brakes on: he wanted to move, something held him back, and the friction made him tough.
Jupiter trine Pluto wide at 5.5°
Ambition with depth: he knew how to build influence, and he used it to make big changes.
Mars square Neptune wide at 6.0°
Drive and dreams mixed uneasily: the goal was clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.
