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 Aquarius
The Free Thinker. Original, free and humane.
4°00′
Moon in Pisces
The Moon moved from Aquarius into Pisces at 8:23 a.m. that day, local time: in Aquarius for a birth before then, in Pisces for one after.
1°53′

The Adventurer. Love as an adventure.

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 Gemini
The direction his life grows in: Gemini, curious and quick-witted.
10°14′
Chiron in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Chiron is a wariness about trust that runs deep, and the strength to stay close when others are at their lowest.
7°57′
Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Lilith is a free mind that keeps only the beliefs it chose.
29°19′
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.
Neptune trine North Node almost exact at 0.5°
Imagination helps him forward, through art, ideals and care for others.
Mercury opposition Saturn almost exact at 0.6°
He doubts his own ideas before anyone else can, and so he checks every one twice.
Venus opposition Uranus almost exact at 0.9°
Love comes in sudden starts and stops: he falls for people quickly and needs room just as quickly.
The Sun conjunction Mercury close at 1.0°
His mind and his identity are close together: he speaks as he thinks, and his ideas are part of who he is.
The Sun opposition Saturn close at 1.6°
Self-belief comes slowly and has to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counts.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.6°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
