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 Taurus

    The Gardener. Steady, sensual and sure.

    4°24′

  • Moon in Cancer

    The Moon moved from Gemini into Cancer at 9:23 a.m. that day, local time: in Gemini for a birth before then, in Cancer for one after.

    1°35′

  • Mercury in Aries

    The Spark. First to speak.

    14°12′

  • Venus in Aries

    Venus moved from Pisces into Aries at 4:03 a.m. that day, local time: in Pisces for a birth before then, in Aries for one after.

    0°24′

  • Mars in Aries

    The Trailblazer. First through the door.

    10°27′

Beyond the planetsNorth Node in Gemini, Chiron and Lilith
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 Gemini

    The direction his life grows in: Gemini, curious and quick-witted.

    2°46′

  • Chiron in Scorpio

    In Scorpio, Chiron is a wariness about trust that runs deep, and the strength to stay close when others are at their lowest.

    5°36′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn

    In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.

    9°23′

The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.

Aspects by strength16 between the planets, the closest first
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 North Node almost exact at 0.4°

    Discipline helped him grow: patience and hard work kept him on course.

  • Mars trine Pluto almost exact at 0.5°

    Stamina and willpower: he kept going long after others stopped, and he did his best work under pressure.

  • The Moon square Venus close at 1.2°

    What comforted him and what he loved were different things, so his heart and his moods kept negotiating.

  • Mars opposition Neptune close at 1.7°

    Drive and dreams mixed uneasily: the goal was clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.

  • Venus trine Saturn close at 2.0°

    Loyal in love: he chose carefully, and what he built with people lasted.

  • The Sun square Saturn close at 2.0°

    Self-belief came slowly and had to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counted.

Show more aspectsShow fewer
  • Neptune sextile Pluto close at 2.2°

    A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.

  • Venus sextile North Node close at 2.4°

    Love and friendship moved him forward: the people he cared for helped him find his way.

  • Mercury trine Pluto wide at 3.2°

    A probing mind: he got to the bottom of things, and his words had power when he chose to use them.

  • Mercury conjunction Mars wide at 3.8°

    He thought fast and spoke faster: his mind liked a contest, and his words had an edge.

  • The Sun quincunx Neptune wide at 4.4°

    He kept redrawing the line between the life he had and the life he imagined.

  • Venus trine Jupiter wide at 5.4°

    Affection came to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism helped each other.

  • Mercury opposition Neptune wide at 5.4°

    Facts and dreams blurred together in his mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details mattered.

  • Neptune trine North Node wide at 6.0°

    Imagination helped him forward, through art, ideals and care for others.

  • The Sun square Pluto wide at 6.6°

    Nothing about him was halfway: he insisted on running his own life, and the struggle made him formidable.

  • Jupiter opposition North Node wide at 7.8°

    Easy hopes and the harder way forward went different ways, and real growth came from the harder one.
