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 Virgo
The Fixer. Precise, useful and kind.
24°22′
Moon in Libra
The Moon moved from Libra into Scorpio at 1:17 p.m. that day, local time: in Libra for a birth before then, in Scorpio for one after.
29°13′
Mercury in Virgo
The Analyst. The editor’s eye.
19°34′
Venus in Leo
The Romantic. Grand, generous love.

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.
9°59′
Chiron in Gemini
In Gemini, Chiron is an old fear of not being heard, which becomes a gift for finding the words others lack.
14°39′
Black Moon Lilith in Taurus
In Taurus, Lilith is an appetite for pleasure that sees no need to apologise.
11°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 drive (the Sun, Mercury and Mars) gather in Virgo, 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.
Venus square Saturn almost exact at 0.5°
Love feels like something to be earned, and he holds back until he is sure of it.
The Sun sextile Saturn almost exact at 0.7°
Purpose and patience work as a team: he builds slowly and gets better with every year.
Mars sextile Pluto close at 1.5°
Stamina and willpower: he keeps going long after others stop, and he does his best work under pressure.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 2.3°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Jupiter square North Node close at 2.4°
Easy hopes and the harder way forward go different ways, and real growth comes from the harder one.
Mars trine Neptune wide at 3.8°
He works for ideals: his drive comes alive for a cause, a role or a dream.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Jupiter square Pluto wide at 4.4°
He wants more power than comes easily, and the struggle for it shapes his life.
The Sun conjunction Mercury wide at 4.8°
His mind and his identity are close together: he speaks as he thinks, and his ideas are part of who he is.
Mercury square Uranus wide at 5.3°
His mind runs ahead of the conversation: he says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.
Mars trine North Node wide at 5.4°
Courage moves him forward, and each bold step takes him further along his path.
The Sun square Neptune wide at 6.5°
The self he knows and the image others see drift apart at times, and he works to keep hold of the real one.
Pluto opposition North Node wide at 6.8°
Old attachments hold him back from the way forward, and he grows by letting some things go.
