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.

Beyond the planetsNorth Node in Pisces, Chiron and Lilith
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 Pisces

    The direction his life grows in: Pisces, dreamy and compassionate.

    16°04′

  • Chiron in Aries

    In Aries, Chiron is a doubt about the right to go first, and with it a talent for giving others their nerve.

    2°23′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Leo

    In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.

    0°27′

The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.

Aspects by strength12 between the planets, the closest first
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.

  • Mercury trine Saturn almost exact at 0.1°

    A patient, exact mind: he chooses every word, and his thinking gets sharper with practice.

  • Venus sextile Uranus almost exact at 0.1°

    He loves the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.

  • Mars quincunx Pluto almost exact at 0.5°

    Force and restraint keep trading places, and he learns when to let go.

  • Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.9°

    A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.

  • Mars trine Jupiter close at 2.3°

    Big drive and big confidence: he goes after large goals, and his enthusiasm carries others along.

  • Mars square Neptune close at 2.4°

    Drive and dreams mix uneasily: the goal is clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.

  • The Sun square North Node close at 3.0°

    Being himself and growing ask for different things, and his biggest steps forward come when he stretches past his habits.

  • Jupiter opposition Saturn wide at 3.5°

    Growth and caution keep checking each other: he moves forward in bursts, then pauses to consolidate.

  • Mercury sextile Jupiter wide at 3.5°

    A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learns easily, tells a good story and sees the big picture.

  • Mercury square Pluto wide at 5.3°

    His words have force: he speaks to persuade, and he keeps his own counsel until the right moment.

  • Mercury square Uranus wide at 5.7°

    His mind runs ahead of the conversation: he says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.

  • The Sun square Pluto wide at 8.2°

    Nothing about him is halfway: he insists on running his own life, and the struggle makes him formidable.
