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 Cancer
The Protector. Home, memory and care.

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.
3°29′
Chiron in Gemini
In Gemini, Chiron is an old fear of not being heard, which becomes a gift for finding the words others lack.
18°17′
Black Moon Lilith in Libra
In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.
18°39′
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 opposition North Node close at 1.5°
Being himself and growing ask for different things, and his biggest steps forward come when he stretches past his habits.
The Sun conjunction Venus close at 1.6°
Charm comes naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things are close to his core.
Venus conjunction Mars close at 1.9°
Magnetic: affection and desire come together in him, and people notice.
Venus opposition North Node close at 3.0°
What feels comfortable in love and what helps him grow are different things, and he chooses between them more than once.
The Sun conjunction Mars wide at 3.5°
Purpose and drive in one place: he is quick to start, quick to compete and hard to stop.
Jupiter square Neptune wide at 3.7°
His hopes run ahead of what is real, and he learns to check a beautiful idea against the facts.
