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 Aquarius
The Free Thinker. Original, free and humane.
28°31′
Moon in Gemini
The Moon moved from Taurus into Gemini at 12:02 a.m. that day, local time: in Taurus for a birth before then, in Gemini for one after.

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.
25°35′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
5°58′
Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Lilith is a free mind that keeps only the beliefs it chose.
19°36′
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.
Grand trine
Three planets in an easy triangle, each in flowing contact with the other two: a gift that comes without effort.
In his chart, his optimism, his discipline and his imagination (Jupiter in Taurus, Saturn in Sagittarius and Neptune in Virgo) make the triangle, so these come to him naturally.
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 Saturn almost exact at 0.1°
Purpose and patience work as a team: he builds slowly and gets better with every year.
The Sun opposition Neptune close at 1.5°
The self he knows and the image others see drift apart at times, and he works to keep hold of the real one.
Venus square Pluto close at 1.6°
Love comes with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where he stands.
Saturn trine Neptune close at 1.6°
Practical dreams: he gives ideals a shape and works to make them real.
Saturn quincunx North Node close at 2.9°
Responsibility and growth need steady balancing, and he learns which duties to keep.
The Sun square North Node close at 2.9°
Being himself and growing ask for different things, and his biggest steps forward come when he stretches past his habits.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Mercury sextile Uranus wide at 3.9°
A quick, original mind: ideas arrive in flashes, and he sees answers others miss.
Mercury square Jupiter wide at 4.1°
Big ideas and loose details: he thinks on a large scale, and the small print is where things get away from him.
Neptune square North Node wide at 4.5°
Dreams and the way forward clash, and growing means trading some illusions for clear sight.
Mars opposition Saturn wide at 4.9°
Drive with the brakes on: he wants to move, something holds him back, and the friction makes him tough.
Jupiter trine Neptune wide at 5.0°
Faith and imagination together: he believes in people and ideals, and that belief is catching.
The Sun trine Mars wide at 5.0°
His purpose and his drive work together: once he decides on something, he moves on it fast.
The Sun sextile Jupiter wide at 6.5°
His confidence comes easily and spreads: he thinks big, and other people want to come along.
Jupiter trine Saturn wide at 6.6°
Hope and caution in balance: he dreams big and plans carefully, and both help.
Saturn square Uranus wide at 6.8°
Tradition and rebellion fight in him: he wants security and freedom, and can rarely have both at once.
