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 Aries
The Pioneer. First in, first to try.
2°27′
Moon in Taurus
The Moon moved from Taurus into Gemini at 4:02 p.m. that day, local time: in Taurus for a birth before then, in Gemini for one after.
27°42′
Mercury in Aries
The Spark. First to speak.
20°08′
Venus in Pisces
The Tender Heart. Love without limits.
5°15′
Mars in Gemini
The Multitasker. Quick with the comeback.

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 Aries
The direction his life grows in: Aries, bold and direct.
21°36′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
8°17′
Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.
21°44′
The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.
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 Sun sextile Uranus almost exact at 0.2°
Independence came easily: he did things his own way, and people found it refreshing rather than rude.
Neptune square North Node almost exact at 0.6°
Dreams and the way forward clashed, and growing meant trading some illusions for clear sight.
Mercury square Neptune almost exact at 0.9°
Facts and dreams blurred together in his mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details mattered.
Mercury conjunction North Node close at 1.5°
Ideas and talk set his course: he found his direction by learning and talking things through.
Mars sextile North Node close at 1.5°
Courage moved him forward, and each bold step took him further along his path.
Jupiter quincunx Saturn close at 1.9°
When to expand and when to hold back took constant rethinking.

Mercury sextile Mars close at 3.0°
A quick, direct mind: he made decisions fast and said what he meant.
Saturn sextile Neptune wide at 3.8°

A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learned easily, told a good story and saw the big picture.
The Sun square Pluto wide at 5.5°
Nothing about him was halfway: he insisted on running his own life, and the struggle made him formidable.
Jupiter trine North Node wide at 6.3°
Hope helped him grow: faith in what was possible kept him moving forward.
