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.

    21°44′

  • Moon in Pisces

    The Moon moved from Pisces into Aries at 8:06 p.m. that day, local time: in Pisces for a birth before then, in Aries for one after.

    25°40′

  • Mercury in Capricorn

    The Planner. Foundations first.

    1°55′

  • Venus in Aquarius

    The Kindred Spirit. Friend first, lover too.

    6°06′

  • Mars in Aquarius

    The Rebel. Rebel with a cause.

    22°17′

Beyond the planetsNorth Node in Pisces, Chiron and Lilith
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 Pisces

    The direction his life grows in: Pisces, dreamy and compassionate.

    20°48′

  • Chiron in Sagittarius

    In Sagittarius, Chiron is a restless question about what it all means, and a gift for lending others a wider view.

    27°23′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Gemini

    In Gemini, Lilith is the quick tongue that says out loud what the room only thinks.

    10°46′

The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.

PatternsT-square
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 mind (Mercury in Capricorn) and his independence (Uranus in Cancer) face each other across the wheel, and his discipline (Saturn in Libra) took the strain: the part of him that worked hardest.

Aspects by strength14 between the planets, the closest first
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 0.1°

    Sudden openings: he spotted new chances early and jumped at them.

  • Neptune sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.2°

    A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.

  • Mercury square Saturn almost exact at 0.5°

    He doubted his own ideas before anyone else could, and so he checked every one twice.

  • Venus quincunx Uranus almost exact at 0.8°

    Affection and independence needed constant trading off, and he kept renegotiating the terms of his relationships.

  • The Sun sextile North Node almost exact at 0.9°

    The direction his life took suited him: being himself and growing went hand in hand.

  • Neptune quincunx North Node close at 1.3°

    He grew by testing his ideals against real life, again and again.

Show more aspectsShow fewer
  • Pluto quincunx North Node close at 1.5°

    He kept giving up a little control to keep growing.

  • The Sun square Neptune close at 2.2°

    The self he knew and the image others saw drifted apart at times, and he worked to keep hold of the real one.

  • The Sun quincunx Pluto close at 2.5°

    He kept rebuilding himself to fit what life asked, and control was the hardest thing to give up.

  • Mars trine Neptune close at 2.8°

    He worked for ideals: his drive came alive for a cause, a role or a dream.

  • Mars opposition Pluto close at 3.0°

    A fierce will: he met opposition head on, and a fight brought out his full strength.

  • Venus trine Saturn wide at 3.7°

    Loyal in love: he chose carefully, and what he built with people lasted.

  • Saturn square Uranus wide at 4.5°

    Tradition and rebellion fought in him: he wanted security and freedom, and could rarely have both at once.

  • Mercury opposition Uranus wide at 4.9°

    His mind ran ahead of the conversation: he said the unexpected thing, and not everyone was ready to hear it.
