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 Aries
The Pioneer. First in, first to try.
8°14′
Moon in Scorpio
The Moon moved from Libra into Scorpio at 9:28 a.m. that day, local time: in Libra for a birth before then, in Scorpio for one after.
1°16′
Mercury in Aries
The Spark. First to speak.
23°59′
Venus in Aquarius
The Kindred Spirit. Friend first, lover too.

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 Sagittarius
The direction his life grows in: Sagittarius, free and far-ranging.
25°19′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
29°54′
Black Moon Lilith in Virgo
In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.
26°32′
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.
Mercury sextile Venus almost exact at 0.4°
A graceful mind: he spoke kindly and well, and he knew how to say a hard thing gently.
Jupiter sextile Saturn almost exact at 0.4°
Hope and caution in balance: he dreamed big and planned carefully, and both helped.
The Sun trine Saturn almost exact at 0.5°
Purpose and patience worked as a team: he built slowly and got better with every year.
Uranus sextile North Node almost exact at 0.8°
Change helped him forward: he grew by trying the new.
The Sun sextile Jupiter almost exact at 0.9°
His confidence came easily and spread: he thought big, and other people wanted to come along.
Venus sextile North Node almost exact at 0.9°
Love and friendship moved him forward: the people he cared for helped him find his way.
