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 Aquarius
The Free Thinker. Original, free and humane.
9°24′
Moon in Leo
The Moon moved from Leo into Virgo at 9:09 p.m. that day, local time: in Leo for a birth before then, in Virgo for one after.
25°19′
Mercury in Capricorn
The Planner. Foundations first.
20°00′
Venus in Pisces
The Tender Heart. Love without limits.
26°13′
Mars in Capricorn

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.
18°22′
Chiron in Libra
In Libra, Chiron is a soft spot around being chosen and kept, and a gift for making others feel met as equals.
3°15′
Black Moon Lilith in Libra
In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.
8°35′
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.
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 identity, his independence and his imagination (the Sun in Aquarius, Uranus in Gemini and Neptune in Libra) 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.
Uranus sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.1°
He can help change things at the root, and upheaval suits him.
The Sun trine Uranus almost exact at 0.2°
Independence comes easily: he does things his own way, and people find it refreshing rather than rude.
The Sun opposition Pluto almost exact at 0.3°
Nothing about him is halfway: he insists on running his own life, and the struggle makes him formidable.
Mars opposition North Node almost exact at 0.4°
Old fights and the way forward disagree, and he grows by choosing which battles matter.
Venus opposition Jupiter almost exact at 0.8°
He loves too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures run past what one life can use.
Saturn square Neptune close at 1.4°
The dream and the hard work seldom agree on terms: his discipline and his imagination ask different things of him.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Mercury opposition North Node close at 1.6°
Old ideas and the way forward are at odds, and he learns new ways of thinking to move on.
Mercury conjunction Mars close at 2.0°
He thinks fast and speaks faster: his mind likes a contest, and his words have an edge.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 2.8°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Uranus trine Neptune close at 2.9°
Change and idealism go together: new ideas come wrapped in dreams of a better world.
The Sun trine Neptune wide at 3.1°
Imagination and identity work together: he can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
The Sun quincunx Saturn wide at 4.5°
The wish to shine and the wish to be careful need steady adjusting: he moves forward a step, then checks it.
