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 Pisces
The Dreamer. Gentle, dreamy and deep.
3°30′
Moon in Capricorn
The Moon moved from Sagittarius into Capricorn at 6:51 a.m. that day, local time: in Sagittarius for a birth before then, in Capricorn for one after.
2°44′
Mercury in Aquarius
The Inventor. The original thinker.
7°22′
Venus in Aquarius
The Kindred Spirit. Friend first, lover too.
20°05′

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 Aries
The direction his life grows in: Aries, bold and direct.
27°19′
Chiron in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Chiron is a restless question about what it all means, and a gift for lending others a wider view.
8°29′
Black Moon Lilith in Pisces
In Pisces, Lilith is a dreamer who wants no rescuing, with a private world all its own.
24°08′
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 trine Saturn exact at 0.0°
Steady feelings: he kept calm under strain, and he loved in ways that lasted.
Neptune sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.1°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Uranus sextile North Node almost exact at 0.8°
Change helped him forward: he grew by trying the new.
The Sun sextile the Moon almost exact at 0.8°
His purpose and his feelings were on the same side: the life he chose and the comfort he needed went together.
The Sun opposition Saturn almost exact at 0.8°
Self-belief came slowly and had to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counted.
The Sun conjunction Mars wide at 5.0°
Purpose and drive in one place: he was quick to start, quick to compete and hard to stop.

The direction his life took suited him: being himself and growing went hand in hand.
The Sun trine Uranus wide at 7.0°
Independence came easily: he did things his own way, and people found it refreshing rather than rude.
