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 Sagittarius
The Explorer. Honest, free and far-seeing.

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.
29°15′
Chiron in Gemini
In Gemini, Chiron is an old fear of not being heard, which becomes a gift for finding the words others lack.
5°48′
Black Moon Lilith in Gemini
In Gemini, Lilith is the quick tongue that says out loud what the room only thinks.
6°06′
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 heart and his drive (the Sun, Venus and Mars) gather in Sagittarius, and that part of life drew his attention first.
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 independence and his imagination (the Moon, Uranus and Neptune) gather in Aquarius, 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.
Mercury quincunx Pluto almost exact at 0.3°
What he knew and what he said needed careful managing, and secrets sat uneasily with him.
Venus quincunx Jupiter almost exact at 0.4°
His taste and his appetite for more needed adjusting: he kept learning what was enough.
The Moon square Mercury almost exact at 0.8°
His head and his feelings argued: he knew what he thought before he knew what he felt, or the other way round.
The Sun sextile Neptune close at 1.0°
Imagination and identity worked together: he could become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
Saturn quincunx North Node close at 1.1°
Responsibility and growth needed steady balancing, and he learned which duties to keep.
Saturn square Neptune close at 1.2°
The dream and the hard work seldom agreed on terms: his discipline and his imagination asked different things of him.
