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.

    5°34′

  • Moon in Capricorn

    The Moon moved from Sagittarius into Capricorn at 3:29 a.m. that day, local time: in Sagittarius for a birth before then, in Capricorn for one after.

    4°12′

  • Mercury in Aquarius

    The Inventor. The original thinker.

    26°00′

  • Venus in Pisces

    The Tender Heart. Love without limits.

    10°35′

  • Mars in Aries

    The Trailblazer. First through the door.

    18°44′

Beyond the planetsNorth Node in Sagittarius, Chiron and Lilith
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.

    1°17′

  • Chiron in Gemini

    In Gemini, Chiron is an old fear of not being heard, which becomes a gift for finding the words others lack.

    25°26′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius

    In Sagittarius, Lilith is a free mind that keeps only the beliefs it chose.

    26°35′

The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.

Aspects by strength14 between the planets, the closest first
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 square Saturn almost exact at 0.2°

    Feelings come second to duty: he holds himself to a high standard, even in private.

  • Venus sextile Uranus almost exact at 0.3°

    He loves the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.

  • The Sun sextile the Moon close at 1.4°

    His purpose and his feelings are on the same side: the life he chooses and the comfort he needs go together.

  • Mars quincunx Neptune close at 1.4°

    His drive and his imagination speak different languages: he goes after something before he can say what it is.

  • Saturn trine North Node close at 2.7°

    Discipline helps him grow: patience and hard work keep him on course.

  • Pluto trine North Node close at 3.0°

    Deep change helps him forward: each time he starts over, he goes further.

    Restless hope: he wants more freedom than any situation gives, and big changes come suddenly.

  • Mercury square North Node wide at 5.3°
