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 Leo
The Bright One. Warm, proud and generous.
17°01′
Moon in Aries
The Moon moved from Aries into Taurus at 12:20 p.m. that day, local time: in Aries for a birth before then, in Taurus for one after.
29°49′
Mercury in Virgo
The Analyst. The editor’s eye.
14°23′
Venus in Leo
The Romantic. Grand, generous love.
29°04′
Mars in Virgo
The Craftsperson. The craftsman’s drive.
17°46′

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.
27°33′
Chiron in Virgo
In Virgo, Chiron is the sense that no effort is ever quite enough, and a gift for patient, practical help.
16°31′
Black Moon Lilith in Virgo
In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.
19°14′
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.
Stellium
Three or more planets gathered in one sign or one house, so that part of the chart speaks loudest.
In his chart, his identity, his heart and his intensity (the Sun, Venus and Pluto) gather in Leo, and that part of life draws his attention first.
Stellium
Three or more planets gathered in one sign or one house, so that part of the chart speaks loudest.
In his chart, his mind, his drive and his optimism (Mercury, Mars and Jupiter) gather in Virgo, and that part of life draws his attention first.
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 trine Venus almost exact at 0.7°
He puts people at ease without trying: kindness and charm come from the same place.
Mercury square Uranus close at 1.9°
His mind runs ahead of the conversation: he says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.
Jupiter sextile Saturn wide at 3.1°
Hope and caution in balance: he dreams big and plans carefully, and both help.
Mercury conjunction Mars wide at 3.4°
He thinks fast and speaks faster: his mind likes a contest, and his words have an edge.
Uranus sextile Pluto wide at 3.9°
He can help change things at the root, and upheaval suits him.
Saturn square Neptune wide at 3.9°
The dream and the hard work seldom agree on terms: his discipline and his imagination ask different things of him.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Venus conjunction Jupiter wide at 4.0°
A generous heart: love and good company come to him easily, and he shares both.
The Sun sextile Uranus wide at 4.5°
Independence comes easily: he does things his own way, and people find it refreshing rather than rude.
Neptune sextile North Node wide at 4.8°
Imagination helps him forward, through art, ideals and care for others.
Mars square Uranus wide at 5.3°
Restless and quick to rebel: he pushes against limits, and sudden decisions come with the territory.
The Sun conjunction Pluto wide at 8.4°
Intensity at the centre: he wants the whole truth about everything, himself first, and he remakes himself more than once to reach it.
