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 Cancer
The Protector. Home, memory and care.
18°28′
Moon in Virgo
The Moon moved from Leo into Virgo at 1:08 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 Taurus
The direction her life grows in: Taurus, steady and sensual.
3°42′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
29°48′
Black Moon Lilith in Aries
In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.
21°55′
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.
The Sun sextile Pluto exact at 0.0°
A quiet strength: under pressure she grows more focused, and she knows how to start over.
Uranus sextile Neptune almost exact at 0.6°
Change and idealism go together: new ideas come wrapped in dreams of a better world.
Venus trine North Node close at 1.8°
Love and friendship move her forward: the people she cares for help her find her way.
The Sun sextile Uranus close at 2.6°
Independence comes easily: she does things her own way, and people find it refreshing rather than rude.
Uranus conjunction Pluto close at 2.7°
Born into a time of upheaval: she wants radical change, and wants it at once.
Jupiter trine Saturn close at 2.9°
Hope and caution in balance: she dreams big and plans carefully, and both help.

Mercury sextile Pluto close at 3.0°
A probing mind: she gets to the bottom of things, and her words have power when she chooses to use them.
The Sun conjunction Mercury wide at 3.1°
Her mind and her identity are close together: she speaks as she thinks, and her ideas are part of who she is.
Mercury square Saturn wide at 3.1°
She doubts her own ideas before anyone else can, and so she checks every one twice.
The Sun trine Neptune wide at 3.3°
Imagination and identity work together: she can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 3.3°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Jupiter square North Node wide at 5.7°
Easy hopes and the harder way forward go different ways, and real growth comes from the harder one.
The Sun square Saturn wide at 6.2°
Self-belief comes slowly and has to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counts.
Mercury trine Neptune wide at 6.3°
She thinks in pictures and music: her words carry a mood, and her imagination gives her ideas colour.
Mars opposition North Node wide at 7.5°
Old fights and the way forward disagree, and she grows by choosing which battles matter.
The Sun square Mars wide at 7.7°
She fights hard for what she wants, and her temper is part of her courage.
