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.
Sun in Gemini
The Messenger. Curious and many-sided.
6°39′
Moon in Taurus
The Moon moved from Taurus into Gemini at 9:52 p.m. that day, local time: in Taurus for a birth before then, in Gemini for one after.
23°55′
Mercury in Taurus
The Careful Thinker. Slow to decide, sure once decided.
13°17′
Venus in Cancer
The Nurturer. Love that makes a home.
4°50′
Mars in Gemini
The Multitasker. Quick with the comeback.

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 Scorpio
The direction his life grows in: Scorpio, intense and private.
26°54′
Chiron in Cancer
In Cancer, Chiron is an early longing to belong somewhere, and a knack for making strangers feel at home.
0°01′
Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.
6°54′
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.
Pluto trine North Node close at 1.4°
Deep change helped him forward: each time he started over, he went further.
Mercury conjunction Uranus close at 1.8°
He thought in leaps: brilliant, contrary and quick to get bored with the obvious.
Uranus trine Neptune wide at 3.3°
Change and idealism went together: new ideas came wrapped in dreams of a better world.
Venus trine Jupiter wide at 3.5°
Affection came to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism helped each other.
Jupiter square North Node wide at 4.4°
Easy hopes and the harder way forward went different ways, and real growth came from the harder one.
Mercury trine Neptune wide at 5.1°
He thought in pictures and music: his words carried a mood, and his imagination gave his ideas colour.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
The Sun square Jupiter wide at 5.3°
He reached for more than one life could hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
Mars square Neptune wide at 5.4°
Drive and dreams mixed uneasily: the goal was clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.
