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 Scorpio
The Detective. Intense, private and loyal.
14°29′
Moon in Pisces
The Moon moved from Aquarius into Pisces at 5:02 a.m. that day, local time: in Aquarius for a birth before then, in Pisces for one after.
3°27′
Mercury in Sagittarius
The Philosopher. The big picture.
7°01′
Venus in Libra
The Sweetheart. Grace, romance and balance.
21°23′
Mars in Cancer
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 Pisces
The direction his life grows in: Pisces, dreamy and compassionate.
22°54′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
10°33′
Black Moon Lilith in Pisces
In Pisces, Lilith is a dreamer who wants no rescuing, with a private world all its own.
27°54′
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 drive, his imagination and his intensity (Mars, Neptune and Pluto) gather in Cancer, 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.
The Sun sextile Jupiter almost exact at 0.6°
His confidence came easily and spread: he thought big, and other people wanted to come along.
Mars trine North Node almost exact at 0.7°
Courage moved him forward, and each bold step took him further along his path.
Venus square Mars almost exact at 0.8°
In love he wanted tenderness and a chase at once, and his relationships were rarely calm.
Venus quincunx North Node close at 1.5°
He kept adjusting what he wanted from people to fit the life he was growing into.
The Sun quincunx Saturn close at 2.5°
The wish to shine and the wish to be careful needed steady adjusting: he moved forward a step, then checked it.
The Moon trine Pluto close at 2.5°
His feelings ran deep and held steady: he came through hard times with more strength than he went in with.

Uranus quincunx Pluto close at 3.0°
Freedom and control needed constant adjusting, and he changed in stages rather than all at once.
Mercury sextile Uranus wide at 3.1°
A quick, original mind: ideas arrived in flashes, and he saw answers others missed.
Venus trine Saturn wide at 4.5°
Loyal in love: he chose carefully, and what he built with people lasted.
Neptune trine North Node wide at 5.3°
Imagination helped him forward, through art, ideals and care for others.
Uranus opposition Neptune wide at 5.6°
The urge for change and the longing for ideals clashed, and he lived with both.
Saturn square North Node wide at 6.0°
Duty and growth competed: what he owed others and where he needed to go called for hard choices.
Mars conjunction Neptune wide at 6.0°
Action guided by imagination: he moved on instinct and feeling, and he gave his all to a vision.
The Sun trine Mars wide at 7.7°
His purpose and his drive worked together: once he decided on something, he moved on it fast.
The Sun trine North Node wide at 8.4°
The direction his life took suited him: being himself and growing went hand in hand.
