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.
20°41′
Moon in Cancer
The Moon moved from Cancer into Leo at 12:45 p.m. that day, local time: in Cancer for a birth before then, in Leo 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 Sagittarius
The direction his life grows in: Sagittarius, free and far-ranging.
8°08′
Chiron in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.
11°22′
Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.
20°56′
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.
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 mind (Mercury in Gemini) and his discipline (Saturn in Scorpio) face each other across the wheel, and his drive (Mars in Pisces) takes the strain: the part of him that works 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.
The Moon conjunction Uranus almost exact at 0.5°
Restless feelings: he feels most at home where things are new.
Jupiter conjunction Pluto almost exact at 0.7°
Large ambitions and the will to see them through: he works on a grand scale.
Mercury sextile Uranus almost exact at 0.8°
A quick, original mind: ideas arrive in flashes, and he sees answers others miss.
Venus quincunx North Node close at 1.4°
He keeps adjusting what he wants from people to fit the life he is growing into.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.4°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
