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 Leo
The Bright One. Warm, proud and generous.
7°04′
Moon in Libra
The Moon moved from Libra into Scorpio at 4:09 p.m. that day, local time: in Libra for a birth before then, in Scorpio for one after.
27°34′
Mercury in Cancer
The Remembering Mind. A memory for tone.
18°51′
Venus in Virgo
The Quiet Romantic. Love in small attentions.
4°14′
Mars in Aries
The Trailblazer. First through the door.
14°37′

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 Virgo
The direction his life grows in: Virgo, precise and helpful.
23°43′
Chiron in Leo
In Leo, Chiron is a quiet doubt about deserving the light, and a gift for helping others shine without apology.
5°03′
Black Moon Lilith in Taurus
In Taurus, Lilith is an appetite for pleasure that sees no need to apologise.
16°01′
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.
Mars sextile Jupiter almost exact at 0.5°
Big drive and big confidence: he goes after large goals, and his enthusiasm carries others along.
Saturn trine Neptune close at 1.3°
Practical dreams: he gives ideals a shape and works to make them real.
Neptune conjunction North Node close at 2.0°
A path lit by imagination: he follows a vision more than a plan.
Saturn conjunction Uranus close at 2.8°
Disciplined originality: he builds new things on solid foundations.
The Sun conjunction Pluto wide at 3.1°
Intensity at the centre: he wants the whole truth about everything, himself first, and he remakes himself more than once to reach it.
Saturn trine North Node wide at 3.3°
Discipline helps him grow: patience and hard work keep him on course.

Uranus trine Neptune wide at 4.1°
Change and idealism go together: new ideas come wrapped in dreams of a better world.

Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argues well, sometimes too well, and a debate is a kind of sport to him.
Uranus sextile Pluto wide at 4.2°
He can help change things at the root, and upheaval suits him.
Venus square Uranus wide at 4.5°
Love comes in sudden starts and stops: he falls for people quickly and needs room just as quickly.
Uranus trine North Node wide at 6.1°
Change helps him forward: he grows by trying the new.
The Sun trine Mars wide at 7.5°
His purpose and his drive work together: once he decides on something, he moves on it fast.
