Planets

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.

Moon in Aries
The Moon moved from Aries into Taurus at 11:41 p.m. that day, local time: in Aries for a birth before then, in Taurus 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.
7°28′
Chiron in Aries
In Aries, Chiron is a doubt about the right to go first, and with it a talent for giving others their nerve.
20°54′
Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Lilith is a free mind that keeps only the beliefs it chose.
27°22′
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.
Mars opposition Uranus almost exact at 0.3°
Restless and quick to rebel: he pushes against limits, and sudden decisions come with the territory.
Venus sextile Saturn close at 1.8°
Loyal in love: he chooses carefully, and what he builds with people lasts.
The Sun sextile Pluto close at 2.4°
A quiet strength: under pressure he grows more focused, and he knows how to start over.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 2.7°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Saturn square Pluto wide at 3.3°
Heavy demands and hard limits: he faces a great deal of pressure and comes out tougher for it.
Jupiter sextile Neptune wide at 3.4°
Faith and imagination together: he believes in people and ideals, and that belief is catching.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
The Sun conjunction Mercury wide at 3.9°
His mind and his identity are close together: he speaks as he thinks, and his ideas are part of who he is.
The Sun trine Neptune wide at 5.1°
Imagination and identity work together: he can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
Pluto square North Node wide at 5.3°
Old attachments hold him back from the way forward, and he grows by letting some things go.
Jupiter trine Pluto wide at 6.1°
Ambition with depth: he knows how to build influence, and he uses it to make big changes.
Mercury square Mars wide at 6.3°
Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argues well, sometimes too well, and a debate is a kind of sport to him.
Mercury square Uranus wide at 6.6°
His mind runs ahead of the conversation: he says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.
The Sun opposition Jupiter wide at 8.5°
He reaches for more than one life can hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
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.

Modes
The Moon changed sign that day; it is counted where it stood at noon.
No earth at all, so the practical, settled side is the one he has to find.
