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.
25°15′
Moon in Virgo
The Moon moved from Leo into Virgo at 4:06 a.m. that day, local time: in Leo for a birth before then, in Virgo for one after.
4°23′
Mercury in Leo
The Storyteller. A voice that carries.
3°33′
Venus in Gemini
The Charmer. Love through conversation.
24°53′
Mars in Libra
The Negotiator. A fighter for fairness.
16°47′

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 Aries
The direction his life grows in: Aries, bold and direct.
0°21′
Chiron in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Chiron is a restless question about what it all means, and a gift for lending others a wider view.
16°20′
Black Moon Lilith in Taurus
In Taurus, Lilith is an appetite for pleasure that sees no need to apologise.
20°50′
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.
Jupiter trine Uranus almost exact at 0.3°
Sudden openings: he spots new chances early and jumps at them.
Mars sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.3°
Stamina and willpower: he keeps going long after others stop, and he does his best work under pressure.
Mars conjunction Neptune close at 2.1°
Action guided by imagination: he moves on instinct and feeling, and he gives his all to a vision.
The Moon opposition Jupiter close at 2.3°
His feelings run large: he wants more comfort, more company and more of everything than any one day gives.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 2.4°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Mercury trine North Node wide at 3.2°
His way with words helps him find his direction, and the right ideas come at the right time.

The Sun trine North Node wide at 5.1°
The direction his life takes suits him: being himself and growing go hand in hand.
Venus square North Node wide at 5.5°
What feels comfortable in love and what helps him grow are different things, and he chooses between them more than once.
Uranus square North Node wide at 6.1°
The way forward asks for steadiness, and the urge for change keeps breaking in.
The Sun conjunction Mercury wide at 8.3°
His mind and his identity are close together: he speaks as he thinks, and his ideas are part of who he is.
The Sun square Mars wide at 8.5°
He fights hard for what he wants, and his temper is part of his courage.
