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 Scorpio
The Detective. Intense, private and loyal.
9°37′
Moon in Pisces
The Moon moved from Aquarius into Pisces at 12:10 a.m. that day, local time: in Aquarius for a birth before then, in Pisces for one after.
6°03′

23°41′

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.
17°50′
Chiron in Cancer
In Cancer, Chiron is an early longing to belong somewhere, and a knack for making strangers feel at home.
9°55′
Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.
24°32′
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.
Jupiter quincunx Neptune almost exact at 0.2°
His ideals and his beliefs need constant matching up, and he keeps asking what he really believes.
Venus sextile Mars almost exact at 0.6°
Charm and desire work together: he knows what he wants in love and how to win it.
Mercury square Jupiter almost exact at 0.9°
Big ideas and loose details: he thinks on a large scale, and the small print is where things get away from him.
Mercury sextile Neptune close at 1.1°
He thinks in pictures and music: his words carry a mood, and his imagination gives his ideas colour.
The Moon square Venus close at 1.3°
What comforts him and what he loves are different things, so his heart and his moods keep negotiating.
Uranus opposition North Node close at 1.8°
The way forward asks for steadiness, and the urge for change keeps breaking in.

Mars opposition Saturn wide at 7.4°
Drive with the brakes on: he wants to move, something holds him back, and the friction makes him tough.

The Sun conjunction North Node wide at 8.2°
