The essence · Sun

Sun in Libra

1°50′

Your identity seeks balance and harmony: beauty, fair agreement and the art of being in relationship. Your purpose flourishes when you build bridges, weigh nuances and look for the right balance in relationships.

The inner world · Moon

Moon in Scorpio

10°21′

You feel with a passionate, intuitive intensity: all or nothing, with an emotional memory that neither forgets nor betrays. Your security comes from deep loyalty, emotional honesty and the ability to regenerate after any crisis.

The threshold · Ascendant

Virgo ascendant

29°58′

You come across as attentive and modest, with a practical intelligence that repairs whatever it finds broken or not working, because you look at your surroundings with an analytical, pragmatic, detail-minded eye. Your life's journey teaches you to cultivate discernment, self-care and the integration of body and mind.

Beyond the planets

Eight keys beyond the ten classical planets, which astrology reads as axes of the chart.

Ascendant29°58 Virgo

The sign rising on the eastern horizon at birth. It shapes how you appear to the world.

Descendant29°58 Pisces

The point opposite the Ascendant, where the zodiac was setting at your birth. It speaks of the other: what you look for and meet in your bonds.

Midheaven29°57 Gemini

The highest point in the sky at birth. It points to your vocation and public self.

Imum Coeli29°57 Sagittarius

The lowest point of the sky at your birth, opposite the Midheaven. It points to your root: the origin, the home and the intimacy you set out from.

Chiron5°00 Sagittarius

The wounded healer: a small icy body between Saturn and Uranus. It marks the wound that, once moved through, teaches.

North Node16°41 Aries

Not a body but a point of the Moon's orbit. It marks the direction of your growth.

South Node16°41 Libra

The exact point opposite the North Node. It holds the ground you have already walked: the familiar place worth leaving behind.

Lilith17°57 Aries

The Black Moon: a mathematical point tied to the untamed and what refuses to submit.
