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 Aries
The Pioneer. First in, first to try.
7°31′
Moon in Pisces
The Moon moved from Pisces into Aries at 4:13 p.m. that day, local time: in Pisces for a birth before then, in Aries 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 Aries
The direction their life grows in: Aries, bold and direct.
11°30′
Chiron in Gemini
In Gemini, Chiron is an old fear of not being heard, which becomes a gift for finding the words others lack.
16°36′
Black Moon Lilith in Cancer
In Cancer, Lilith is a fierce need to belong, and no wish to look after anyone on command.
14°02′
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.
Mercury trine Pluto almost exact at 0.4°
A probing mind: they get to the bottom of things, and their words have power when they choose to use them.
The Sun square Neptune almost exact at 0.4°
The self they know and the image others see drift apart at times, and they work to keep hold of the real one.
The Moon square Uranus almost exact at 0.9°
Their moods change without warning, and they want closeness and room to breathe at the same time.
The Sun conjunction Jupiter close at 1.3°
Optimism at the centre of them: they expect things to go well, and that confidence wins people over.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.5°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Jupiter square Neptune close at 1.7°
Their hopes run ahead of what is real, and they learn to check a beautiful idea against the facts.

Disciplined originality: they build new things on solid foundations.

The Moon changed sign that day; it is counted where it stood at noon.
No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through takes deliberate effort.
