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 Pisces
The Dreamer. Gentle, dreamy and deep.
8°59′
Moon in Pisces
The Moon moved from Pisces into Aries at 10:46 p.m. that day, local time: in Pisces for a birth before then, in Aries for one after.

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.
16°16′
Chiron in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Chiron is the feeling of having grown up too soon, and a gift for showing others how to stand on their own.
20°31′
Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.
12°54′
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 mind, his drive and his intensity (Mercury in Aquarius, Mars in Libra and Pluto in Gemini) make the triangle, so these came to him naturally.
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 independence (Uranus in Sagittarius) and his imagination (Neptune in Cancer) face each other across the wheel, and his heart (Venus in Aries) took the strain: the part of him that worked hardest.
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 square Neptune almost exact at 0.2°
He loved the dream of a person, and the real one had to compete with it.
Mars conjunction North Node almost exact at 0.6°
Driven towards his path: he went after the life he wanted with real force.
The Moon square Uranus almost exact at 0.9°
His moods changed without warning, and he wanted closeness and room to breathe at the same time.
Jupiter trine Neptune close at 1.1°
Faith and imagination together: he believed in people and ideals, and that belief was catching.
Pluto trine North Node close at 1.4°
Deep change helped him forward: each time he started over, he went further.
Mars trine Pluto close at 2.0°
Stamina and willpower: he kept going long after others stopped, and he did his best work under pressure.

The Moon changed sign that day; it is counted where it stood at noon.
No earth at all, so the practical, settled side was the one he had to find.
