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 Aries
The Pioneer. First in, first to try.
8°46′
Moon in Taurus
The Moon moved from Aries into Taurus at 4:14 a.m. that day, local time: in Aries for a birth before then, in Taurus for one after.
4°05′
Mercury in Pisces
The Poet. Knowing without explaining.
13°17′
Venus in Pisces
The Tender Heart. Love without limits.
16°29′
Mars in Aquarius
The Rebel. Rebel with a cause.

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.
24°38′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
0°10′
Black Moon Lilith in Gemini
In Gemini, Lilith is the quick tongue that says out loud what the room only thinks.
25°33′
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.
Grand trine
Three planets in an easy triangle, each in flowing contact with the other two: a gift that comes without effort.
In his chart, his feelings, his optimism and his intensity (the Moon in Taurus, Jupiter in Capricorn and Pluto in Virgo) make the triangle, so these come to him naturally.
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 heart (Venus in Pisces) and his discipline (Saturn in Capricorn) both point at his independence (Uranus in Leo), the part of him that keeps needing adjustment and gives his life its focus.
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 Moon trine Pluto exact at 0.0°
His feelings run deep and hold steady: he comes through hard times with more strength than he goes in with.
The Sun quincunx Neptune almost exact at 0.2°
He keeps redrawing the line between the life he has and the life he imagines.
Saturn quincunx Uranus almost exact at 0.5°
When to keep the rules and when to break them takes constant deciding.
Venus quincunx Uranus almost exact at 0.7°
Affection and independence need constant trading off, and he keeps renegotiating the terms of his relationships.
The Moon trine Jupiter close at 1.2°
Good-hearted and generous: he feels looked after by life, and he passes that on.
Jupiter trine Pluto close at 1.2°
Ambition with depth: he knows how to build influence, and he uses it to make big changes.
