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 Aquarius
The Free Thinker. Original, free and humane.
15°03′
Moon in Aries
The Moon moved from Pisces into Aries at 9:42 a.m. that day, local time: in Pisces for a birth before then, in Aries for one after.
1°09′

The Loyal Partner. Love built to last.

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 Scorpio
The direction his life grows in: Scorpio, intense and private.
25°00′
Chiron in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.
12°11′
Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Lilith is the outsider’s streak, at its best when it does not fit in.
17°29′
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.
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 heart (Venus in Capricorn) and his independence (Uranus in Leo) face each other across the wheel, and his drive (Mars in Taurus) takes the strain: the part of him that works hardest.

Grand cross
Four planets in a square, two pairs pulling against each other: strain on every side, and great staying power.
In his chart, his heart, his drive, his independence and his imagination (Venus in Capricorn, Mars in Taurus, Uranus in Leo and Neptune in Scorpio) make the cross, and he learns to hold all four at once.
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 opposition Jupiter almost exact at 0.1°
His feelings run large: he wants more comfort, more company and more of everything than any one day gives.
Mars square Uranus almost exact at 0.5°
Restless and quick to rebel: he pushes against limits, and sudden decisions come with the territory.
Mars opposition Neptune close at 1.4°
Drive and dreams mix uneasily: the goal is clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.
Venus quincunx Pluto close at 1.7°
Affection and the need for control keep getting in each other’s way, and trust takes him time.
