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 Capricorn

    The Architect. Ambitious, patient and dry.

    15°53′

  • Moon in Virgo

    The Moon moved from Virgo into Libra at 10:37 p.m. that day, local time: in Virgo for a birth before then, in Libra for one after.

    24°45′

  • Mercury in Sagittarius

    Mercury moved from Sagittarius into Capricorn at 1:24 p.m. that day, local time: in Sagittarius for a birth before then, in Capricorn for one after.

    29°55′

  • Venus in Pisces

    The Tender Heart. Love without limits.

    1°10′

  • Mars in Pisces

    The Gentle Warrior. Strength that flows round.

    5°05′

Beyond the planetsNorth Node in Aquarius, 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 Aquarius

    The direction his life grows in: Aquarius, independent and original.

    12°36′

  • Chiron in Capricorn

    In Capricorn, Chiron is the feeling of having grown up too soon, and a gift for showing others how to stand on their own.

    14°09′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Virgo

    In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.

    1°29′

The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.

Aspects by strength11 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 opposition Uranus almost exact at 0.6°

    He needed room to be himself, and any rule that fit too tightly got broken.

  • Neptune sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.9°

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

  • Mercury sextile Venus close at 1.3°

    A graceful mind: he spoke kindly and well, and he knew how to say a hard thing gently.

  • Jupiter square North Node close at 1.6°

    Easy hopes and the harder way forward went different ways, and real growth came from the harder one.

  • Saturn conjunction Neptune close at 2.7°

    He took dreams seriously and gave them structure, and his ideals had to prove themselves.

  • Mercury sextile Saturn wide at 3.4°

    A patient, exact mind: he chose every word, and his thinking got sharper with practice.

  • Saturn sextile Pluto wide at 3.7°

    Endurance: he could work through hard times, and what he built survived pressure.

  • Venus conjunction Mars wide at 3.9°

    Magnetic: affection and desire came together in him, and people noticed.

  • Venus trine Saturn wide at 4.6°

    Loyal in love: he chose carefully, and what he built with people lasted.

  • The Sun trine Jupiter wide at 4.9°

    His confidence came easily and spread: he thought big, and other people wanted to come along.

  • The Sun square Neptune wide at 7.9°

    The self he knew and the image others saw drifted apart at times, and he worked to keep hold of the real one.
