Notes on this chart

There is a grand trine here, and then a second one built along the same edge. The Sun and Neptune make that shared side; the third corner is Chiron in one figure and Jupiter in the other.

Both are unusually stable for a chart with no birth time. Neptune and Chiron hold their trine 0°06′ from exact at every hour of the day, and Saturn stands 0°16′ from an opposition to the North Node at every hour too. Jupiter was barely moving at all, covering 0.004° while it sat at a station.

The Moon is the one thing in flux, crossing from Cancer into Leo during the day, 24°46′ to 7°21′. It caught Mars on the way, closing to 0°01′ of a sextile at one hour and standing 10°54′ off at another.

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.

Saturn opposition North Node 0.3° exact all day
Neptune square North Node 0.5–0.6° exact all day
Saturn square Neptune 0.8° exact all day
Mars square Uranus 1.5–2.2°· all day
Moon opposition Saturn 2.6–15.3° part of the day
Pluto opposition Chiron 2.7°· all day
Moon square Neptune 3.5–16.1° part of the day
Jupiter opposition Pluto 4.6–4.7°· all day

Flow

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

Sun trine Neptune 0.1–0.9° exact all day
Moon sextile Mars 0.1–10.9° part of the day
Sun trine Chiron 0.1–1.0°· all day
Neptune trine Chiron 0.1° exact all day
Mercury sextile Venus 0.4–0.5° exact all day
Moon sextile Black Moon Lilith 0.5–9.8° part of the day
Sun trine Jupiter 1.0–1.9°· all day
Mars trine Black Moon Lilith 1.1–1.7°· all day
Jupiter trine Neptune 1.9°· all day
Sun sextile Pluto 2.7–3.7°· all day
Neptune sextile Pluto 2.8°· all day

Fused

Conjunctions: planets standing so close they act as one.

Jupiter conjunction Chiron 2.0°· all day
Moon conjunction North Node 2.9–15.6° part of the day
