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 Aquarius
The Free Thinker. Original, free and humane.
15°08′
Moon in Capricorn
The Moon moved from Sagittarius into Capricorn at 1:29 a.m. that day, local time: in Sagittarius for a birth before then, in Capricorn for one after.
6°06′
Mercury in Aquarius
The Inventor. The original thinker.
8°18′
Venus in Pisces
The Tender Heart. Love without limits.
5°29′

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.
15°03′
Chiron in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.
22°06′
Black Moon Lilith in Taurus
In Taurus, Lilith is an appetite for pleasure that sees no need to apologise.
8°49′
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 heart (Venus in Pisces) and his intensity (Pluto in Virgo) face each other across the wheel, and his optimism (Jupiter in Scorpio) takes the strain: the part of him that works hardest.

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.
The Sun trine North Node almost exact at 0.1°
The direction his life takes suits him: being himself and growing go hand in hand.
Saturn trine Pluto almost exact at 0.1°
Endurance: he can work through hard times, and what he builds survives pressure.
The Moon sextile Venus almost exact at 0.6°
He puts people at ease without trying: kindness and charm come from the same place.
Uranus sextile North Node almost exact at 0.8°
Change helps him forward: he grows by trying the new.
The Sun opposition Uranus almost exact at 0.9°
He needs room to be himself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.
Mercury square Neptune close at 1.3°
Facts and dreams blur together in his mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details matter.

Mercury opposition Uranus wide at 6.0°
His mind runs ahead of the conversation: he says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.
Venus square Jupiter wide at 6.2°
He loves too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures run past what one life can use.

The Sun square Neptune wide at 8.2°
The self he knows and the image others see drift apart at times, and he works to keep hold of the real one.
