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 Virgo
The Fixer. Precise, useful and kind.
15°19′
Moon in Sagittarius
The Moon moved from Sagittarius into Capricorn at 1:20 p.m. that day, local time: in Sagittarius for a birth before then, in Capricorn for one after.
29°17′
Mercury in Libra
The Mediator. Both sides of the question.
11°59′
Venus in Scorpio
The Devotee. All or nothing.
1°21′
Mars in Cancer
The Defender. Fierce for its own.

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 Leo
The direction his life grows in: Leo, warm and dramatic.
8°20′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
8°09′
Black Moon Lilith in Libra
In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.
4°55′
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 independence and his intensity (the Sun, Uranus and Pluto) gather in Virgo, and that part of life draws his attention first.
Grand trine
Three planets in an easy triangle, each in flowing contact with the other two: a gift that comes without effort.
In his chart, his drive, his optimism and his imagination (Mars in Cancer, Jupiter in Pisces and Neptune in Scorpio) make the triangle, so these come to him naturally.
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.
Venus sextile Uranus almost exact at 0.5°
He loves the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.
Mars trine Neptune almost exact at 0.6°
He works for ideals: his drive comes alive for a cause, a role or a dream.
Mars sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.6°
Stamina and willpower: he keeps going long after others stop, and he does his best work under pressure.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.2°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Mercury square Mars close at 1.3°
Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argues well, sometimes too well, and a debate is a kind of sport to him.
Jupiter quincunx North Node close at 1.6°
Some hopes have to be let go to fit the way forward, and he chooses which ones.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
The Moon trine Uranus close at 2.5°
His feelings like freedom: he needs space in close ties and gives it back just as easily.
Saturn opposition North Node close at 2.8°
Duty and growth compete: what he owes others and where he needs to go call for hard choices.
Neptune square North Node close at 3.0°
Dreams and the way forward clash, and growing means trading some illusions for clear sight.
Jupiter opposition Pluto wide at 3.4°
He wants more power than comes easily, and the struggle for it shapes his life.
Mercury sextile North Node wide at 3.6°
His way with words helps him find his direction, and the right ideas come at the right time.
Mars trine Jupiter wide at 4.0°
Big drive and big confidence: he goes after large goals, and his enthusiasm carries others along.
The Sun sextile Neptune wide at 4.0°
Imagination and identity work together: he can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
Venus square Saturn wide at 4.2°
Love feels like something to be earned, and he holds back until he is sure of it.
Jupiter trine Neptune wide at 4.6°
Faith and imagination together: he believes in people and ideals, and that belief is catching.
The Sun sextile Mars wide at 4.6°
His purpose and his drive work together: once he decides on something, he moves on it fast.
Jupiter opposition Uranus wide at 4.8°
Restless hope: he wants more freedom than any situation gives, and big changes come suddenly.
The Sun conjunction Pluto wide at 5.2°
Intensity at the centre: he wants the whole truth about everything, himself first, and he remakes himself more than once to reach it.
Venus trine Jupiter wide at 5.3°
Affection comes to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism help each other.
Saturn square Neptune wide at 5.8°
The dream and the hard work seldom agree on terms: his discipline and his imagination ask different things of him.
Mercury trine Saturn wide at 6.4°
A patient, exact mind: he chooses every word, and his thinking gets sharper with practice.
The Sun opposition Jupiter wide at 8.6°
He reaches for more than one life can hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
