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 Taurus
The Gardener. Steady, sensual and sure.
12°10′
Moon in Cancer
The Moon moved from Gemini into Cancer at 11:51 a.m. that day, local time: in Gemini for a birth before then, in Cancer for one after.
0°06′
Mercury in Aries
The Spark. First to speak.
15°53′
Venus in Gemini
The Charmer. Love through conversation.
19°23′

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 Sagittarius
The direction his life grows in: Sagittarius, free and far-ranging.
3°57′
Chiron in Aries
In Aries, Chiron is a doubt about the right to go first, and with it a talent for giving others their nerve.
5°08′
Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Lilith is an intensity and a private power that stay unexplained.
11°10′
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 Sun sextile Jupiter almost exact at 0.8°
His confidence came easily and spread: he thought big, and other people wanted to come along.
Pluto quincunx North Node close at 1.0°
He kept giving up a little control to keep growing.
The Moon trine Uranus close at 1.1°
His feelings liked freedom: he needed space in close ties and gave it back just as easily.
The Sun conjunction Mars close at 1.5°
Purpose and drive in one place: he was quick to start, quick to compete and hard to stop.
Venus sextile Saturn close at 2.1°
Loyal in love: he chose carefully, and what he built with people lasted.
Mars sextile Jupiter close at 2.3°
Big drive and big confidence: he went after large goals, and his enthusiasm carried others along.
