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.
19°38′
Moon in Gemini
The Moon moved from Gemini into Cancer at 2:42 p.m. that day, local time: in Gemini for a birth before then, in Cancer 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 Libra
The direction his life grows in: Libra, graceful and fair.
4°55′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
6°15′
Black Moon Lilith in Cancer
In Cancer, Lilith is a fierce need to belong, and no wish to look after anyone on command.
12°39′
The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.
Patterns
What’s this?Close
When several aspects lock into one shape, such as a triangle or a cross, the planets in it act together, and the shape says how: easily, under strain, or with one planet as the focus.
T-square
Two planets pull against each other, and a third stands at right angles to both, where the strain gathers.
In his chart, his identity (the Sun in Taurus) and his independence (Uranus in Scorpio) face each other across the wheel, and his drive (Mars in Leo) takes the strain: the part of him that works hardest.
Grand trine
Three planets in an easy triangle, each in flowing contact with the other two: a gift that comes without effort.
In his chart, his mind, his discipline and his imagination (Mercury in Aries, Saturn in Leo and Neptune in Sagittarius) make the triangle, so these come to him naturally.
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.
Jupiter square North Node almost exact at 0.1°
Easy hopes and the harder way forward go different ways, and real growth comes from the harder one.
Mercury trine Saturn almost exact at 0.4°
A patient, exact mind: he chooses every word, and his thinking gets sharper with practice.
Venus opposition Neptune close at 1.5°
He loves the dream of a person, and the real one has to compete with it.
Mars square Uranus close at 1.8°
Restless and quick to rebel: he pushes against limits, and sudden decisions come with the territory.
Venus trine Pluto close at 1.8°
He loves with depth and loyalty, and the bonds he forms change both people.
The Sun quincunx Neptune close at 2.0°
He keeps redrawing the line between the life he has and the life he imagines.
