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 Gemini
The Messenger. Curious and many-sided.

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.
15°27′
Black Moon Lilith in Aries
In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.
22°17′
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 feelings, his heart, his drive and his discipline (the Moon, Venus, Mars and Saturn) 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 Moon sextile Uranus almost exact at 0.2°
His feelings liked freedom: he needed space in close ties and gave it back just as easily.
Mars sextile Uranus almost exact at 0.3°
Quick and inventive in action: he moved fast, broke with habit and made sudden changes work.
The Moon conjunction Mars almost exact at 0.5°
His feelings ran hot and fast, and he protected the people he loved fiercely.
Mercury sextile Venus close at 1.1°
A graceful mind: he spoke kindly and well, and he knew how to say a hard thing gently.
Venus conjunction Saturn close at 1.1°
Serious about love: he gave affection slowly, and once given, it stayed given.
Mercury sextile Saturn close at 2.2°
A patient, exact mind: he chose every word, and his thinking got sharper with practice.

No fire at all, so the bold first move came by choice rather than by instinct.
