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 Pisces
The Dreamer. Gentle, dreamy and deep.
2°16′
Moon in Scorpio
The Moon moved from Libra into Scorpio at 4:05 a.m. that day, local time: in Libra for a birth before then, in Scorpio for one after.
3°58′
Mercury in Pisces
The Poet. Knowing without explaining.
10°52′
Venus in Pisces
The Tender Heart. Love without limits.
7°05′
Mars in Cancerretrograde
The Defender. Fierce for its own.

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 Gemini
The direction his life grows in: Gemini, curious and quick-witted.
27°29′
Chiron in Libra
In Libra, Chiron is a soft spot around being chosen and kept, and a gift for making others feel met as equals.
21°03′
Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Lilith is an intensity and a private power that stay unexplained.
21°55′
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 identity, his mind and his heart (the Sun, Mercury and Venus) gather in Pisces, and that part of life drew 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.
Jupiter trine North Node almost exact at 0.3°
Hope helped him grow: faith in what was possible kept him moving forward.
Mercury quincunx Pluto almost exact at 0.7°
What he knew and what he said needed careful managing, and secrets sat uneasily with him.
Venus quincunx Neptune close at 1.1°
What he wanted from love and what love gave him kept needing adjustment, and he learned to see people as they were.
The Sun trine the Moon close at 1.7°
His purpose and his feelings were on the same side: the life he chose and the comfort he needed went together.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 2.0°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Mercury square Uranus close at 2.5°
His mind ran ahead of the conversation: he said the unexpected thing, and not everyone was ready to hear it.

Chart signature
What’s this?Close
The chart’s balance at a glance: which of the four elements and three modes it leans on, which body is most connected, and any body standing alone.
Elements
Modes
The Moon changed sign that day; it is counted where it stood at noon.
No earth at all, so the practical, settled side was the one he had to find.
