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.
8°28′
Moon in Aries
The Moon moved from Aries into Taurus at 3:02 p.m. that day, local time: in Aries for a birth before then, in Taurus 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 Scorpio
The direction his life grows in: Scorpio, intense and private.
26°55′
Chiron in Gemini
In Gemini, Chiron is an old fear of not being heard, which becomes a gift for finding the words others lack.
27°38′
Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.
3°39′
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.
Jupiter quincunx Pluto almost exact at 0.1°
The bigger the stakes grow, the more he has to rethink his aims.
The Moon square Pluto almost exact at 0.3°
He loves hard and holds on hard, and letting go takes him a long time.
Mercury quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.4°
His habits of thought need small, steady changes to fit the way forward.
Pluto trine North Node close at 1.0°
Deep change helps him forward: each time he starts over, he goes further.
Jupiter square North Node close at 1.1°
Easy hopes and the harder way forward go different ways, and real growth comes from the harder one.
Venus square Jupiter close at 1.3°
He loves too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures run past what one life can use.

Mercury square Pluto close at 1.4°

Venus sextile Pluto close at 1.4°

Mercury sextile Jupiter close at 1.5°

The Moon conjunction Mercury close at 1.7°
He thinks with his feelings: memory, mood and wit come together, and his words give away what he feels.
Venus opposition North Node close at 2.5°
What feels comfortable in love and what helps him grow are different things, and he chooses between them more than once.
Venus conjunction Mars wide at 4.6°
Magnetic: affection and desire come together in him, and people notice.
The Sun conjunction Uranus wide at 4.9°

Uranus trine Neptune wide at 5.2°
Change and idealism go together: new ideas come wrapped in dreams of a better world.
Mars square Jupiter wide at 5.9°
