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 Sagittarius
The Explorer. Honest, free and far-seeing.
17°23′
Moon in Capricorn
The Moon moved from Capricorn into Aquarius at 5:00 p.m. that day, local time: in Capricorn for a birth before then, in Aquarius for one after.
27°13′
Mercury in Scorpio
The Investigator. Hears what was left out.
28°48′
Venus in Sagittarius
The Adventurer. Love as an adventure.

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 Capricorn
The direction his life grows in: Capricorn, ambitious and patient.
24°22′
Chiron in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Chiron is the feeling of having grown up too soon, and a gift for showing others how to stand on their own.
19°02′
Black Moon Lilith in Libra
In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.
9°04′
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.
Neptune sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.4°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Pluto quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.6°
He keeps giving up a little control to keep growing.
Mars square North Node almost exact at 0.9°
Old fights and the way forward disagree, and he grows by choosing which battles matter.
Neptune square North Node close at 1.0°

Mars sextile Pluto close at 1.5°
Stamina and willpower: he keeps going long after others stop, and he does his best work under pressure.
