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 Aries
The Pioneer. First in, first to try.
9°38′
Moon in Aquarius
The Moon moved from Capricorn into Aquarius at 10:44 a.m. that day, local time: in Capricorn for a birth before then, in Aquarius for one after.
0°45′
Mercury in Pisces
The Poet. Knowing without explaining.
24°09′
Venus in Aries
The Chaser. Love at first sight.
24°54′
Mars in Pisces
The Gentle Warrior. Strength that flows round.

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.
16°39′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
8°27′
Black Moon Lilith in Virgo
In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.
16°55′
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.
Stellium
Three or more planets gathered in one sign or one house, so that part of the chart speaks loudest.
In his chart, his mind, his drive and his optimism (Mercury, Mars and Jupiter) gather in Pisces, and that part of life draws his attention first.
Yod
Two planets in easy contact both point awkwardly at a third, which becomes the focus: a talent that takes constant adjusting.
In his chart, his imagination (Neptune in Scorpio) and his intensity (Pluto in Virgo) both point at his identity (the Sun in Aries), the part of him that keeps needing adjustment and gives his life its focus.
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 sextile Saturn almost exact at 0.4°
Purpose and patience work as a team: he builds slowly and gets better with every year.
Saturn quincunx Pluto close at 1.2°
He keeps adjusting between control and acceptance, and learns where each belongs.
The Sun quincunx Pluto close at 1.5°
He keeps rebuilding himself to fit what life asks, and control is the hardest thing to give up.
Mars trine Neptune close at 1.5°
He works for ideals: his drive comes alive for a cause, a role or a dream.
Venus trine Uranus close at 2.0°
He loves the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.
Mars quincunx North Node close at 2.1°
He keeps adjusting how hard he pushes to fit where his life is going.

The Sun quincunx Neptune wide at 3.3°
He keeps redrawing the line between the life he has and the life he imagines.
Neptune square North Node wide at 3.7°
Dreams and the way forward clash, and growing means trading some illusions for clear sight.
Saturn square Neptune wide at 3.7°
The dream and the hard work seldom agree on terms: his discipline and his imagination ask different things of him.
Jupiter opposition Uranus wide at 4.2°
Restless hope: he wants more freedom than any situation gives, and big changes come suddenly.
Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 4.9°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Mars opposition Pluto wide at 6.4°
A fierce will: he meets opposition head on, and a fight brings out his full strength.
The Sun trine North Node wide at 7.0°
The direction his life takes suits him: being himself and growing go hand in hand.
Jupiter opposition Pluto wide at 7.0°
He wants more power than comes easily, and the struggle for it shapes his life.
Saturn opposition North Node wide at 7.4°
Duty and growth compete: what he owes others and where he needs to go call for hard choices.
