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 Capricorn
The Architect. Ambitious, patient and dry.
19°52′
Moon in Sagittarius
The Moon moved from Scorpio into Sagittarius at 4:56 a.m. that day, local time: in Scorpio for a birth before then, in Sagittarius for one after.
3°43′
Mercury in Sagittarius
The Philosopher. The big picture.
26°28′
Venus in Pisces
The Tender Heart. Love without limits.
5°17′

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 Cancer
The direction his life grows in: Cancer, protective and caring.
18°26′
Chiron in Libra
In Libra, Chiron is a soft spot around being chosen and kept, and a gift for making others feel met as equals.
3°21′
Black Moon Lilith in Libra
In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.
6°25′
The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.
Patterns
What’s this?Close
When several aspects lock into one shape, such as a triangle or a cross, the planets in it act together, and the shape says how: easily, under strain, or with one planet as the focus.
T-square
Two planets pull against each other, and a third stands at right angles to both, where the strain gathers.
In his chart, his drive (Mars in Capricorn) and his discipline (Saturn in Cancer) face each other across the wheel, and his imagination (Neptune in Libra) takes the strain: the part of him that works hardest.
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.
Saturn square Neptune almost exact at 0.1°
The dream and the hard work seldom agree on terms: his discipline and his imagination ask different things of him.
Uranus sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.1°
He can help change things at the root, and upheaval suits him.
Mercury square Jupiter close at 1.0°
Big ideas and loose details: he thinks on a large scale, and the small print is where things get away from him.
Venus trine Saturn close at 1.0°
Loyal in love: he chooses carefully, and what he builds with people lasts.
Venus quincunx Neptune close at 1.1°
What he wants from love and what love gives him keep needing adjustment, and he learns to see people as they are.
The Sun opposition North Node close at 1.4°
Being himself and growing ask for different things, and his biggest steps forward come when he stretches past his habits.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
The Moon square Venus close at 1.6°
What comforts him and what he loves are different things, so his heart and his moods keep negotiating.
Venus sextile Mars close at 1.8°
Charm and desire work together: he knows what he wants in love and how to win it.
Mars opposition Saturn close at 2.8°
Drive with the brakes on: he wants to move, something holds him back, and the friction makes him tough.
Mars square Neptune close at 3.0°
Drive and dreams mix uneasily: the goal is clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.
Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 3.1°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Uranus trine Neptune wide at 3.2°
Change and idealism go together: new ideas come wrapped in dreams of a better world.
Venus square Uranus wide at 4.4°
Love comes in sudden starts and stops: he falls for people quickly and needs room just as quickly.
Mars square Jupiter wide at 6.0°
He takes on more than any one person can, and his boldness runs ahead of his plans.
Mercury conjunction Mars wide at 7.0°
He thinks fast and speaks faster: his mind likes a contest, and his words have an edge.
The Sun trine Jupiter wide at 7.6°
His confidence comes easily and spreads: he thinks big, and other people want to come along.
