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 Libra
The Diplomat. Grace, fairness and balance.
24°01′
Moon in Sagittarius
The Moon moved from Sagittarius into Capricorn at 2:17 p.m. that day, local time: in Sagittarius for a birth before then, in Capricorn for one after.
28°52′

The Investigator. Hears what was left out.
16°53′

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.
6°35′
Chiron in Aries
In Aries, Chiron is a doubt about the right to go first, and with it a talent for giving others their nerve.
7°29′
Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.
10°23′
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 Moon conjunction Mars almost exact at 0.5°
His feelings ran hot and fast, and he protected the people he loved fiercely.
Jupiter sextile Pluto close at 1.7°
Ambition with depth: he knew how to build influence, and he used it to make big changes.
Venus sextile Saturn close at 2.2°
Loyal in love: he chose carefully, and what he built with people lasted.
Pluto trine North Node close at 2.3°
Deep change helped him forward: each time he started over, he went further.
Mars sextile Uranus close at 2.6°
Quick and inventive in action: he moved fast, broke with habit and made sudden changes work.
Mercury sextile Saturn close at 2.9°
A patient, exact mind: he chose every word, and his thinking got sharper with practice.
