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.

    22°00′

  • Moon in Sagittarius

    The Moon moved from Scorpio into Sagittarius at 3:31 a.m. that day, local time: in Scorpio for a birth before then, in Sagittarius for one after.

    4°20′

  • Mercury in Scorpio

    The Investigator. Hears what was left out.

    14°16′

  • Venus in Scorpio

    The Devotee. All or nothing.

    19°30′

  • Mars in Sagittarius

    The Champion. The long shot.

    27°54′

Beyond the planetsNorth Node in Scorpio, 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 Scorpio

    The direction his life grows in: Scorpio, intense and private.

    6°32′

  • Chiron in Aries

    In Aries, Chiron is a doubt about the right to go first, and with it a talent for giving others their nerve.

    7°34′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn

    In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.

    10°09′

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

Aspects by strength15 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.

  • Venus sextile Saturn almost exact at 0.1°

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

  • Mercury square Neptune almost exact at 0.8°

    Facts and dreams blurred together in his mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details mattered.

  • Jupiter sextile Pluto close at 1.3°

    Ambition with depth: he knew how to build influence, and he used it to make big changes.

  • The Moon square Uranus close at 2.3°

    His moods changed without warning, and he wanted closeness and room to breathe at the same time.

  • Pluto trine North Node close at 2.4°

    Deep change helped him forward: each time he started over, he went further.

  • Jupiter sextile North Node wide at 3.7°

    Hope helped him grow: faith in what was possible kept him moving forward.

    A probing mind: he got to the bottom of things, and his words had power when he chose to use them.
