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.
19°58′
Moon in Aquarius
The Cool Head. Cool head, warm heart.
16°38′
Mercury in Sagittarius
The Philosopher. The big picture.
11°36′
Venus in Scorpio
Venus moved from Libra into Scorpio at 2:05 a.m. that day, local time: in Libra for a birth before then, in Scorpio for one after.

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.
0°41′
Chiron in Libra
In Libra, Chiron is a soft spot around being chosen and kept, and a gift for making others feel met as equals.
15°08′
Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Lilith is an intensity and a private power that stay unexplained.
10°42′
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.
Grand trine
Three planets in an easy triangle, each in flowing contact with the other two: a gift that comes without effort.
In his chart, his feelings, his optimism and his independence (the Moon in Aquarius, Jupiter in Libra and Uranus in Gemini) make the triangle, so these come to him naturally.
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 trine Jupiter almost exact at 0.1°
Good-hearted and generous: he feels looked after by life, and he passes that on.
Venus trine North Node almost exact at 0.2°
Love and friendship move him forward: the people he cares for help him find his way.
The Moon trine Uranus almost exact at 0.2°
His feelings like freedom: he needs space in close ties and gives it back just as easily.
Mercury trine Pluto almost exact at 0.2°
A probing mind: he gets to the bottom of things, and his words have power when he chooses to use them.
Venus square Mars almost exact at 0.3°
In love he wants tenderness and a chase at once, and his relationships are rarely calm.
Jupiter trine Uranus almost exact at 0.3°
Sudden openings: he spots new chances early and jumps at them.

The Sun quincunx Uranus wide at 3.5°
His restlessness keeps testing his plans, so he changes course more than once to stay true to himself.
Mercury sextile Neptune wide at 3.9°
He thinks in pictures and music: his words carry a mood, and his imagination gives his ideas colour.
Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 4.1°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Uranus sextile Pluto wide at 4.6°
He can help change things at the root, and upheaval suits him.
Mercury opposition Uranus wide at 4.8°
His mind runs ahead of the conversation: he says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.
The Sun trine Saturn wide at 4.9°
Purpose and patience work as a team: he builds slowly and gets better with every year.
Mars conjunction Saturn wide at 5.3°
Controlled force: he works with patience and grit, and he finishes what he starts.
Venus square Saturn wide at 5.7°
Love feels like something to be earned, and he holds back until he is sure of it.
The Sun square Pluto wide at 8.2°
Nothing about him is halfway: he insists on running his own life, and the struggle makes him formidable.
