Notes on this chart

Venus and Mars touch nothing in this chart. Neither makes a major aspect to another classical planet at any hour of that day, Venus standing at 1°43′ Aquarius and creeping to 2°15′ Aquarius, Mars at 26°32′ Scorpio moving to 27°14′ Scorpio in the sign it rules.

A planet with no major aspect to another is called unaspected. Two at once is uncommon, and it falls here to the pair traditional astrology sets against each other, the lesser benefic and the lesser malefic.

The other half of the wheel is short of nothing. Mercury, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are all in Capricorn, all four of them inside the second solar house, while Saturn and Neptune sat between 2°06′ and 2°11′ from an exact conjunction for the whole of it. Mercury is the quick one inside that group, never further than 3°00′ from Neptune.

The Moon is what the record cannot fix. It opened the day at 28°17′ Gemini and closed it at 12°43′ Cancer, leaving the sign undecided and the Moon somewhere between the seventh solar house and the eighth. Its declination is the settled part, and the odd one. It held between 25.76° and 27.31° north for the whole twenty-four hours, past a solar ceiling of 23.44° that year.

The Moon that day

Full Moon

Read from the day’s range; the exact face depends on the hour.

The shape of this sky

The ten classical planets, weighed by element and modality. Only sign-certain placements are counted; one planet shifts signs that day and could join more than one group.

Elements

  • Fire
  • Earth
  • Air
  • Water

Modalities

  • Cardinal
  • Fixed
  • Mutable

Marks of the moment

  • Born under a Full Moon
  • 1 planet was retrograde
  • Houses are solar: whole signs from the Sun

How the planets sit with each other

Aspects are the working relationships in a chart, listed tightest first. A smaller orb is a stronger contact. Contacts marked "part of the day" depend on the unknown birth time.

Tension

Squares and oppositions: friction that makes the engine turn.

  • Moon opposition Neptune 0.2–13.0° part of the day
  • Moon opposition Mercury 0.3–10.0° part of the day
  • Moon opposition Uranus 0.3–8.0° part of the day
  • Mercury opposition Jupiter 0.6–2.2°· all day
  • Moon opposition Saturn 0.8–15.1° part of the day
  • Saturn opposition Chiron 1.5–1.6°· all day
  • Venus square Black Moon Lilith 2.2–2.6°· all day
  • Pluto square North Node 2.9–3.0°· all day
  • Jupiter opposition Uranus 2.9–3.1°· all day

  • Neptune opposition Chiron 3.7°· all day
  • Jupiter opposition Saturn 5.7–5.9°· all day
  • Sun opposition Moon 7.1–20.5° part of the day

Flow

Trines and sextiles: what runs easily, sometimes too easily.

  • Moon trine Black Moon Lilith 0.0–8.3° part of the day
  • Uranus sextile Black Moon Lilith 0.3° exact all day
  • Pluto trine Chiron 1.4–1.5°· all day
  • Sun sextile North Node 1.7–2.8° part of the day
  • Saturn sextile Pluto 3.0–3.1°· all day
  • Moon trine Pluto 3.8–18.2° part of the day

Fused

Conjunctions: planets standing so close they act as one.

  • Moon conjunction Jupiter 0.3–9.4° part of the day
  • Mercury conjunction Neptune 1.6–3.0°· all day
  • Saturn conjunction Neptune 2.1–2.2°· all day
  • Moon conjunction Chiron 2.3–16.8° part of the day
