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.
10°17′
Moon in Gemini
The Moon moved from Gemini into Cancer at 3:59 p.m. that day, local time: in Gemini for a birth before then, in Cancer for one after.
27°38′
Mercury in Piscesretrograde
The Poet. Knowing without explaining.
22°50′
Venus in Capricorn
The Loyal Partner. Love built to last.

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.
6°51′
Chiron in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Chiron is a wariness about trust that runs deep, and the strength to stay close when others are at their lowest.
8°37′
Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.
3°18′
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.
Yod
Two planets in easy contact both point awkwardly at a third, which becomes the focus: a talent that takes constant adjusting.
In his chart, his imagination (Neptune in Libra) and his intensity (Pluto in Leo) both point at his identity (the Sun in Pisces), the part of him that kept needing adjustment and gave his life its focus.
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 Moon trine Mars exact at 0.0°
His feelings turned straight into action: when something mattered, he did something about it.
The Sun quincunx Neptune almost exact at 0.1°
He kept redrawing the line between the life he had and the life he imagined.
Mars square Jupiter almost exact at 0.3°
He took on more than any one person could, and his boldness ran ahead of his plans.
The Sun quincunx Pluto close at 1.3°
He kept rebuilding himself to fit what life asked, and control was the hardest thing to give up.
Venus sextile Jupiter close at 1.3°
Affection came to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism helped each other.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.4°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.

Deep change helped him forward: each time he started over, he went further.
