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 Leo
The Bright One. Warm, proud and generous.
13°54′
Moon in Aries
The Quick Flame. Quick to flare, quick to forgive.
17°00′
Mercury in Leo
The Storyteller. A voice that carries.
3°37′
Venus in Leo
The Romantic. Grand, generous love.
23°52′
Mars in Taurus
The Stayer. Slow to start, impossible to stop.

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 Gemini
The direction his life grows in: Gemini, curious and quick-witted.
6°59′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
10°09′
Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Lilith is an intensity and a private power that stay unexplained.
27°59′
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, his heart and his imagination (the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Neptune) gather in Leo, and that part of life drew his attention first.
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 identity, his discipline and his independence (the Sun in Leo, Saturn in Sagittarius and Uranus in Aries) make the triangle, so these came 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.
Mars square Neptune exact at 0.0°
Drive and dreams mixed uneasily: the goal was clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.
Uranus sextile North Node almost exact at 0.2°
Change helped him forward: he grew by trying the new.
The Moon square Pluto almost exact at 0.4°
He loved hard and held on hard, and letting go took him a long time.
The Sun trine Saturn close at 1.3°
Purpose and patience worked as a team: he built slowly and got better with every year.
Mercury sextile North Node wide at 3.4°
His way with words helped him find his direction, and the right ideas came at the right time.
Mercury trine Uranus wide at 3.5°
A quick, original mind: ideas arrived in flashes, and he saw answers others missed.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
The Sun square Jupiter wide at 4.4°
He reached for more than one life could hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
Venus conjunction Neptune wide at 4.5°
Romance without limits: he fell for ideals as much as people, and his taste ran to the dreamy and the beautiful.
Venus square Mars wide at 4.5°
In love he wanted tenderness and a chase at once, and his relationships were rarely calm.
Saturn trine Uranus wide at 5.4°
Old and new sat well together: he could change things without throwing out what worked.
Saturn opposition North Node wide at 5.6°
Duty and growth competed: what he owed others and where he needed to go called for hard choices.
Mercury square Jupiter wide at 5.9°
Big ideas and loose details: he thought on a large scale, and the small print was where things got away from him.
The Sun trine Uranus wide at 6.8°
Independence came easily: he did things his own way, and people found it refreshing rather than rude.
Chart signature
What’s this?Close
The chart’s balance at a glance: which of the four elements and three modes it leans on, which body is most connected, and any body standing alone.

Modes
No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through took deliberate effort.
