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 Gemini
The Sun moved from Taurus into Gemini at 7:59 a.m. that day, local time: in Taurus for a birth before then, in Gemini 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 Capricorn
The direction his life grows in: Capricorn, ambitious and patient.
11°15′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
29°10′
Black Moon Lilith in Leo
In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.
21°40′
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.
Mercury square Uranus close at 1.1°
His mind ran ahead of the conversation: he said the unexpected thing, and not everyone was ready to hear it.
Mars trine North Node close at 1.3°
Courage moved him forward, and each bold step took him further along his path.
Mercury conjunction Jupiter close at 1.4°
He loved ideas, the bigger the better, and he could talk anyone into hoping.
The Sun sextile Neptune close at 2.3°
Imagination and identity worked together: he could become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
Jupiter square Uranus close at 2.5°
Restless hope: he wanted more freedom than any situation gave, and big changes came suddenly.
Saturn quincunx Uranus close at 2.7°
When to keep the rules and when to break them took constant deciding.

Chart signature
What’s this?Close
The chart’s balance at a glance: which of the four elements and three modes it leans on, which body is most connected, and any body standing alone.

Standing alone: Pluto. It makes no major aspect, so his intensity stayed out of sight, then surfaced all at once.
