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 Sagittarius
The Explorer. Honest, free and far-seeing.
28°32′
Moon in Leo
The Warm Heart. Warm heart, big feelings.
22°39′
Mercury in Capricorn
The Planner. Foundations first.
2°52′
Venus in Sagittarius
Venus moved from Scorpio into Sagittarius at 7:28 a.m. that day, local time: in Scorpio for a birth before then, in Sagittarius for one after.

Mars in Capricorn
The Achiever. The disciplined climb.

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.
3°17′
Chiron in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Chiron is a restless question about what it all means, and a gift for lending others a wider view.
2°46′
Black Moon Lilith in Pisces
In Pisces, Lilith is a dreamer who wants no rescuing, with a private world all its own.
17°01′
The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.
Patterns
What’s this?Close
When several aspects lock into one shape, such as a triangle or a cross, the planets in it act together, and the shape says how: easily, under strain, or with one planet as the focus.
Stellium
Three or more planets gathered in one sign or one house, so that part of the chart speaks loudest.
In his chart, his mind, his drive and his optimism (Mercury, Mars and Jupiter) gather in Capricorn, and that part of life draws his attention first.
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 opposition Uranus exact at 0.0°
He needs room to be himself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.
Mercury trine North Node almost exact at 0.4°
His way with words helps him find his direction, and the right ideas come at the right time.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.4°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Jupiter trine Saturn close at 1.5°
Hope and caution in balance: he dreams big and plans carefully, and both help.
Venus quincunx Uranus close at 1.7°
Affection and independence need constant trading off, and he keeps renegotiating the terms of his relationships.
Mars quincunx Pluto close at 1.8°
Force and restraint keep trading places, and he learns when to let go.

The Sun conjunction Jupiter wide at 9.2°
