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 Capricorn
The Architect. Ambitious, patient and dry.
1°31′
Moon in Aquarius
The Moon moved from Capricorn into Aquarius at 10:41 a.m. that day, local time: in Capricorn for a birth before then, in Aquarius for one after.
0°39′
Mercury in Capricorn
The Planner. Foundations first.
20°42′
Venus in Aquarius
The Kindred Spirit. Friend first, lover too.
18°27′

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.
7°21′
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°17′
Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.
18°35′
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.
Pluto sextile North Node close at 1.6°
Deep change helped him forward: each time he started over, he went further.
Saturn conjunction Uranus close at 1.7°
Disciplined originality: he built new things on solid foundations.
Venus sextile Jupiter close at 2.0°
Affection came to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism helped each other.
Mars sextile Pluto wide at 3.4°
Stamina and willpower: he kept going long after others stopped, and he did his best work under pressure.
Mercury square Uranus wide at 4.3°
His mind ran ahead of the conversation: he said the unexpected thing, and not everyone was ready to hear it.
Jupiter sextile Uranus wide at 4.5°
Sudden openings: he spotted new chances early and jumped at them.

The Sun sextile Saturn wide at 4.8°
Purpose and patience worked as a team: he built slowly and got better with every year.

Driven towards his path: he went after the life he wanted with real force.
The Sun conjunction North Node wide at 5.8°
His identity and his direction in life lined up: the more fully he became himself, the further he went.
Mercury square Saturn wide at 6.0°
He doubted his own ideas before anyone else could, and so he checked every one twice.
The Sun sextile Uranus wide at 6.5°
Independence came easily: he did things his own way, and people found it refreshing rather than rude.
