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 Scorpio
The Detective. Intense, private and loyal.
7°18′
Moon in Aquarius
The Moon moved from Aquarius into Pisces at 12:23 p.m. that day, local time: in Aquarius for a birth before then, in Pisces for one after.
29°49′
Mercury in Scorpio
The Investigator. Hears what was left out.
3°05′

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 Aries
The direction his life grows in: Aries, bold and direct.
23°37′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
16°54′
Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Lilith is the outsider’s streak, at its best when it does not fit in.
28°57′
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.
The Sun sextile Saturn exact at 0.0°
Purpose and patience worked as a team: he built slowly and got better with every year.
Jupiter conjunction Pluto almost exact at 0.5°
Large ambitions and the will to see them through: he worked on a grand scale.
Mercury square Mars close at 1.9°
Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argued well, sometimes too well, and a debate was a kind of sport to him.
The Sun sextile Neptune close at 1.9°
Imagination and identity worked together: he could become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
Venus square Neptune close at 2.0°
He loved the dream of a person, and the real one had to compete with it.
Saturn trine Neptune close at 2.0°
Practical dreams: he gave ideals a shape and worked to make them real.
