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 Sagittarius

    The Explorer. Honest, free and far-seeing.

    24°53′

  • Moon in Aries

    The Moon moved from Aries into Taurus at 5:17 p.m. that day, local time: in Aries for a birth before then, in Taurus for one after.

    27°15′

  • Mercury in Capricorn

    The Planner. Foundations first.

    3°59′

  • Venus in Capricorn

    The Loyal Partner. Love built to last.

    2°25′

  • Mars in Sagittarius

    The Champion. The long shot.

Beyond the planetsNorth Node in Leo, Chiron and Lilith
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.

    27°20′

  • Chiron in Leo

    In Leo, Chiron is a quiet doubt about deserving the light, and a gift for helping others shine without apology.

    29°22′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Cancer

    In Cancer, Lilith is a fierce need to belong, and no wish to look after anyone on command.

    12°29′

The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.

Aspects by strength23 between the planets, the closest first
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 trine North Node almost exact at 0.1°

    What comforted him also moved him forward: his instincts pointed the right way.
