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.
28°51′
Moon in Aquarius
The Moon moved from Aquarius into Pisces at 12:20 p.m. that day, local time: in Aquarius for a birth before then, in Pisces 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 Gemini
The direction his life grows in: Gemini, curious and quick-witted.
12°38′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
3°26′
Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Lilith is an intensity and a private power that stay unexplained.
12°28′
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 sextile North Node almost exact at 0.4°
Hope helped him grow: faith in what was possible kept him moving forward.
Mars quincunx Pluto almost exact at 0.5°
Force and restraint kept trading places, and he learned when to let go.
Mercury conjunction Venus almost exact at 0.6°
Words with charm in them: he had an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people liked listening to him.
The Moon conjunction Mercury close at 1.5°
He thought with his feelings: memory, mood and wit came together, and his words gave away what he felt.
The Sun quincunx Neptune close at 1.9°
He kept redrawing the line between the life he had and the life he imagined.

What’s this?Close

The Moon changed sign that day; it is counted where it stood at noon.
No earth at all, so the practical, settled side was the one he had to find.
