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.

    17°41′

  • Moon in Aries

    The Moon moved from Pisces into Aries at 7:25 a.m. that day, local time: in Pisces for a birth before then, in Aries for one after.

    2°50′

  • Mercury in Aries

    The Spark. First to speak.

    21°51′

  • Venus in Aries

    The Chaser. Love at first sight.

    17°15′

  • Mars in Aries

    The Trailblazer. First through the door.

    4°28′

Beyond the planetsNorth Node in Cancer, 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 Cancer

    The direction his life grows in: Cancer, protective and caring.

    10°36′

  • Chiron in Virgo

    In Virgo, Chiron is the sense that no effort is ever quite enough, and a gift for patient, practical help.

    27°13′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Libra

    In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.

    19°40′

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.

  • The Sun trine Jupiter almost exact at 0.1°

    His confidence comes easily and spreads: he thinks big, and other people want to come along.

  • Venus quincunx Jupiter almost exact at 0.3°

    His taste and his appetite for more need adjusting: he keeps learning what is enough.

  • Mars opposition Neptune almost exact at 0.5°

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

  • The Moon opposition Neptune close at 1.2°

    His feelings and his imagination pull in different directions: he lives between what is real and what he longs for.

  • The Moon conjunction Mars close at 1.6°

    His feelings run hot and fast, and he protects the people he loves fiercely.

  • Mars square Saturn close at 2.8°

    Drive with the brakes on: he wants to move, something holds him back, and the friction makes him tough.

  • Saturn square Neptune wide at 3.3°

    The dream and the hard work seldom agree on terms: his discipline and his imagination ask different things of him.

  • Saturn conjunction North Node wide at 3.3°

    A serious path: growing asks for patience, and he gives it.

  • Mars trine Pluto wide at 3.5°

    Stamina and willpower: he keeps going long after others stop, and he does his best work under pressure.

  • Uranus sextile Pluto wide at 3.7°

    He can help change things at the root, and upheaval suits him.

  • Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 4.0°

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

  • Mercury conjunction Venus wide at 4.6°

    Words with charm in them: he has an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people like listening to him.

  • Jupiter square Uranus wide at 5.9°

    Restless hope: he wants more freedom than any situation gives, and big changes come suddenly.

  • Mars square North Node wide at 6.1°

    Old fights and the way forward disagree, and he grows by choosing which battles matter.

  • Neptune square North Node wide at 6.6°

    Dreams and the way forward clash, and growing means trading some illusions for clear sight.

  • Venus square North Node wide at 6.7°

    What feels comfortable in love and what helps him grow are different things, and he chooses between them more than once.
