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 Virgo
The Fixer. Precise, useful and kind.
28°48′
Moon in Virgo
The Moon moved from Leo into Virgo at 5:12 a.m. that day, local time: in Leo for a birth before then, in Virgo for one after.
4°18′
Mercury in Virgo
The Analyst. The editor’s eye.
11°51′
Venus in Scorpio
The Devotee. All or nothing.
9°11′
Mars in Virgo
The Craftsperson. The craftsman’s drive.
28°38′

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.
11°18′
Chiron in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.
12°44′
Black Moon Lilith in Pisces
In Pisces, Lilith is a dreamer who wants no rescuing, with a private world all its own.
13°14′
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 sextile Pluto exact at 0.0°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
The Sun conjunction Mars almost exact at 0.2°
Purpose and drive in one place: he is quick to start, quick to compete and hard to stop.
Jupiter sextile Saturn almost exact at 0.2°
Hope and caution in balance: he dreams big and plans carefully, and both help.
Mercury sextile North Node almost exact at 0.6°
His way with words helps him find his direction, and the right ideas come at the right time.
Uranus square North Node close at 1.0°
The way forward asks for steadiness, and the urge for change keeps breaking in.
Jupiter sextile Uranus close at 1.1°
Sudden openings: he spots new chances early and jumps at them.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Venus square Uranus close at 1.1°
Love comes in sudden starts and stops: he falls for people quickly and needs room just as quickly.
Saturn trine Uranus close at 1.3°
Old and new sit well together: he can change things without throwing out what works.
Venus conjunction North Node close at 2.1°
Following his heart is following his path: the people and pleasures he loves lead him forward.
Mercury sextile Venus close at 2.7°
A graceful mind: he speaks kindly and well, and he knows how to say a hard thing gently.
Mercury square Saturn close at 2.8°
He doubts his own ideas before anyone else can, and so he checks every one twice.
