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 Leo
The Bright One. Warm, proud and generous.
11°31′
Moon in Leo
The Moon moved from Cancer into Leo at 10:11 a.m. that day, local time: in Cancer for a birth before then, in Leo 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 Taurus
The direction his life grows in: Taurus, steady and sensual.
17°22′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
14°20′
Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.
8°16′
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 trine Uranus almost exact at 0.3°
Independence came easily: he did things his own way, and people found it refreshing rather than rude.
Mars sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.4°
Stamina and willpower: he kept going long after others stopped, and he did his best work under pressure.
Jupiter sextile Uranus almost exact at 0.5°
Sudden openings: he spotted new chances early and jumped at them.
The Sun sextile Jupiter almost exact at 0.8°
His confidence came easily and spread: he thought big, and other people wanted to come along.
Pluto sextile North Node close at 1.2°
Deep change helped him forward: each time he started over, he went further.
Mercury square North Node close at 1.2°
