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 Aquarius
The Sun moved from Capricorn into Aquarius at 4:20 a.m. that day, local time: in Capricorn for a birth before then, in Aquarius 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.
3°13′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
19°12′
Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Lilith is the outsider’s streak, at its best when it does not fit in.
22°03′
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 trine Jupiter almost exact at 0.2°
Big drive and big confidence: he goes after large goals, and his enthusiasm carries others along.
Jupiter quincunx Neptune almost exact at 0.4°
His ideals and his beliefs need constant matching up, and he keeps asking what he really believes.
Mercury trine Uranus almost exact at 0.5°
A quick, original mind: ideas arrive in flashes, and he sees answers others miss.
The Moon sextile Neptune almost exact at 0.6°
He picks up what others feel before a word is said, and his compassion reaches far.
Mars square Neptune almost exact at 0.7°
Drive and dreams mix uneasily: the goal is clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.
Uranus conjunction Pluto close at 1.1°
Born into a time of upheaval: he wants radical change, and wants it at once.
