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.

    13°41′

  • Moon in Scorpio

    The Moon moved from Scorpio into Sagittarius at 12:44 p.m. that day, local time: in Scorpio for a birth before then, in Sagittarius for one after.

    29°34′

  • Mercury in Aries

    The Spark. First to speak.

    20°45′

  • Venus in Pisces

    The Tender Heart. Love without limits.

    29°05′

  • Mars in Pisces

    The Gentle Warrior. Strength that flows round.

    5°34′

Beyond the planetsNorth Node in Scorpio, 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 Scorpio

    The direction his life grows in: Scorpio, intense and private.

    1°16′

  • Chiron in Aquarius

    In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.

    22°27′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Aries

    In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.

    8°14′

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

Aspects by strength20 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.

  • The Moon square Pluto almost exact at 0.2°

    He loved hard and held on hard, and letting go took him a long time.

  • Jupiter sextile Saturn almost exact at 0.4°

    Hope and caution in balance: he dreamed big and planned carefully, and both helped.

  • The Moon trine Venus almost exact at 0.5°

    He put people at ease without trying: kindness and charm came from the same place.

  • Venus quincunx Pluto almost exact at 0.7°

    Affection and the need for control kept getting in each other’s way, and trust took him time.

  • Pluto sextile North Node close at 1.5°

    Deep change helped him forward: each time he started over, he went further.

  • Neptune conjunction North Node close at 1.9°

    A path lit by imagination: he followed a vision more than a plan.

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