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.
26°42′
Moon in Sagittarius
The Moon moved from Sagittarius into Capricorn at 8:44 p.m. that day, local time: in Sagittarius for a birth before then, in Capricorn for one after.
25°39′
Mercury in Capricorn
The Planner. Foundations first.
7°22′
Venus in Sagittarius
The Adventurer. Love as an adventure.
10°34′
Mars in Scorpio
The Strategist. Will under a still surface.

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.
15°13′
Chiron in Cancer
In Cancer, Chiron is an early longing to belong somewhere, and a knack for making strangers feel at home.
5°51′
Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Lilith is the outsider’s streak, at its best when it does not fit in.
3°03′
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.
Mars sextile Neptune almost exact at 0.4°
He works for ideals: his drive comes alive for a cause, a role or a dream.
Uranus opposition North Node close at 1.4°
The way forward asks for steadiness, and the urge for change keeps breaking in.
Venus trine Saturn close at 1.7°
Loyal in love: he chooses carefully, and what he builds with people lasts.
The Moon square Neptune close at 2.5°
His feelings and his imagination pull in different directions: he lives between what is real and what he longs for.
The Sun trine Neptune wide at 3.5°
Imagination and identity work together: he can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
Mercury sextile Jupiter wide at 3.5°
A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learns easily, tells a good story and sees the big picture.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
The Sun opposition Pluto wide at 3.8°
Nothing about him is halfway: he insists on running his own life, and the struggle makes him formidable.
The Sun sextile Mars wide at 3.9°
His purpose and his drive work together: once he decides on something, he moves on it fast.
Mercury square Saturn wide at 4.9°
He doubts his own ideas before anyone else can, and so he checks every one twice.
Mars conjunction North Node wide at 7.6°
Driven towards his path: he goes after the life he wants with real force.
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.

Modes
The Moon changed sign that day; it is counted where it stood at noon.
No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through takes deliberate effort.
