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 Cancer
The Protector. Home, memory and care.
6°11′
Moon in Aquarius
The Cool Head. Cool head, warm heart.
14°02′
Mercury in Cancer
The Remembering Mind. A memory for tone.
29°12′
Venus in Taurus
Venus moved from Taurus into Gemini at 5:05 p.m. that day, local time: in Taurus for a birth before then, in Gemini for one after.
29°45′

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 Cancer
The direction his life grows in: Cancer, protective and caring.
16°24′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
1°31′
Black Moon Lilith in Virgo
In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.
2°04′
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 identity, his mind and his intensity (the Sun, Mercury and Pluto) gather in Cancer, and that part of life draws his attention first.
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.
Mercury trine Uranus almost exact at 0.2°
A quick, original mind: ideas arrive in flashes, and he sees answers others miss.
Venus sextile Uranus almost exact at 0.3°
He loves the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.
Mercury sextile Venus almost exact at 0.6°
A graceful mind: he speaks kindly and well, and he knows how to say a hard thing gently.
Pluto conjunction North Node close at 2.4°
A path of transformation: his direction in life asks him to change himself completely, more than once.
Venus square Jupiter close at 2.8°
He loves too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures run past what one life can use.
Saturn square Neptune close at 2.9°
The dream and the hard work seldom agree on terms: his discipline and his imagination ask different things of him.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
The Sun square Mars close at 3.0°
He fights hard for what he wants, and his temper is part of his courage.
Saturn trine North Node wide at 3.5°
Discipline helps him grow: patience and hard work keep him on course.
Jupiter opposition Neptune wide at 4.1°
His hopes run ahead of what is real, and he learns to check a beautiful idea against the facts.
Mars square Pluto wide at 4.8°
A fierce will: he meets opposition head on, and a fight brings out his full strength.
Saturn trine Pluto wide at 5.9°
Endurance: he can work through hard times, and what he builds survives pressure.
The Sun square Uranus wide at 6.8°
He needs room to be himself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.
Jupiter square Saturn wide at 7.0°
Growth and caution keep checking each other: he moves forward in bursts, then pauses to consolidate.
The Sun conjunction Pluto wide at 7.9°
Intensity at the centre: he wants the whole truth about everything, himself first, and he remakes himself more than once to reach it.
