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 Sun moved from Aquarius into Pisces at 2:04 p.m. that day, local time: in Aquarius for a birth before then, in Pisces for one after.

Moon in Cancer

8°49′
Mercury in Pisces
The Poet. Knowing without explaining.
14°30′
Venus in Aries
The Chaser. Love at first sight.

Mars in Taurus
The Stayer. Slow to start, impossible to stop.

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 Libra
The direction his life grows in: Libra, graceful and fair.
21°24′
Chiron in Cancer
In Cancer, Chiron is an early longing to belong somewhere, and a knack for making strangers feel at home.
14°31′
Black Moon Lilith in Pisces
In Pisces, Lilith is a dreamer who wants no rescuing, with a private world all its own.
17°32′
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 heart, his optimism and his discipline (Venus, Jupiter and Saturn) gather in Aries, 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 square Venus almost exact at 0.1°
What comforts him and what he loves are different things, so his heart and his moods keep negotiating.
Mars square Pluto almost exact at 0.6°
A fierce will: he meets opposition head on, and a fight brings out his full strength.
Venus conjunction Jupiter almost exact at 0.8°
A generous heart: love and good company come to him easily, and he shares both.
The Moon square Jupiter almost exact at 0.9°
His feelings run large: he wants more comfort, more company and more of everything than any one day gives.
The Sun quincunx Pluto close at 1.3°
He keeps rebuilding himself to fit what life asks, and control is the hardest thing to give up.
The Sun sextile Mars close at 1.9°
His purpose and his drive work together: once he decides on something, he moves on it fast.
