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 Virgo
The Fixer. Precise, useful and kind.
7°53′
Moon in Cancer
The Moon moved from Cancer into Leo at 8:42 p.m. that day, local time: in Cancer for a birth before then, in Leo for one after.
24°40′
Mercury in Virgo
The Analyst. The editor’s eye.
24°52′
Venus in Cancer
The Nurturer. Love that makes a home.
22°04′
Mars in Libra
The Negotiator. A fighter for fairness.

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 Taurus
The direction his life grows in: Taurus, steady and sensual.
6°49′
Chiron in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Chiron is a wariness about trust that runs deep, and the strength to stay close when others are at their lowest.
20°01′
Black Moon Lilith in Pisces
In Pisces, Lilith is a dreamer who wants no rescuing, with a private world all its own.
4°37′
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 Moon sextile Mercury almost exact at 0.2°
Feeling and thought speak the same language: he can put a mood into words, and his words carry feeling.
Mars sextile Saturn almost exact at 0.2°
His drive and his discipline work together easily: he can push hard and keep going.
The Sun trine North Node close at 1.1°
The direction his life takes suits him: being himself and growing go hand in hand.
Mars trine Uranus close at 2.1°
Quick and inventive in action: he moves fast, breaks with habit and makes sudden changes work.
Saturn sextile Uranus close at 2.3°
Old and new sit well together: he can change things without throwing out what works.
The Moon conjunction Venus close at 2.6°
Tenderness through and through: he needs beauty and affection the way others need air.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Mercury sextile Venus close at 2.8°
A graceful mind: he speaks kindly and well, and he knows how to say a hard thing gently.
Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 3.8°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Jupiter trine Pluto wide at 4.2°
Ambition with depth: he knows how to build influence, and he uses it to make big changes.
Mercury square Uranus wide at 5.2°
His mind runs ahead of the conversation: he says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.
Mercury square Jupiter wide at 5.4°
Big ideas and loose details: he thinks on a large scale, and the small print is where things get away from him.
Venus square Mars wide at 5.9°
In love he wants tenderness and a chase at once, and his relationships are rarely calm.
