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 Libra
The Diplomat. Grace, fairness and balance.
12°53′
Moon in Gemini
The Moon moved from Taurus into Gemini at 11:44 a.m. that day, local time: in Taurus for a birth before then, in Gemini for one after.
0°08′
Mercury in Scorpio
Mercury moved from Libra into Scorpio at 3:00 a.m. that day, local time: in Libra for a birth before then, in Scorpio 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 Leo
The direction his life grows in: Leo, warm and dramatic.
17°13′
Chiron in Cancer
In Cancer, Chiron is an early longing to belong somewhere, and a knack for making strangers feel at home.
2°13′
Black Moon Lilith in Aries
In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.
16°22′
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.
The Sun conjunction Uranus exact at 0.0°
Born original: his identity and his need for freedom were the same thing, and he surprised people, himself included.
Saturn sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.1°
Endurance: he could work through hard times, and what he built survived pressure.
The Moon conjunction Neptune almost exact at 0.3°
Feelings without edges: other people’s sorrow and joy reached him as if they were his own.
Mercury quincunx Neptune almost exact at 0.8°
Meaning came to him before the words did, and clear speech followed the feeling.
Jupiter square Saturn wide at 4.2°
Growth and caution kept checking each other: he moved forward in bursts, then paused to consolidate.
The Sun sextile North Node wide at 4.3°
The direction his life took suited him: being himself and growing went hand in hand.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Uranus sextile North Node wide at 4.3°
Change helped him forward: he grew by trying the new.
Mercury square Saturn wide at 4.3°
He doubted his own ideas before anyone else could, and so he checked every one twice.
Mars square Neptune wide at 4.6°
Drive and dreams mixed uneasily: the goal was clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.
Neptune conjunction Pluto wide at 5.1°
Imagination and intensity in one place, a meeting that comes about once in five hundred years: a feel for how things end and begin again.
The Sun trine Pluto wide at 8.0°
A quiet strength: under pressure he grew more focused, and he knew how to start over.
Chart signature
What’s this?Close
The chart’s balance at a glance: which of the four elements and three modes it leans on, which body is most connected, and any body standing alone.

The Moon changed sign that day; it is counted where it stood at noon.
