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 Cancer
The Protector. Home, memory and care.
7°14′
Moon in Leo
The Moon moved from Cancer into Leo at 12:29 a.m. that day, local time: in Cancer for a birth before then, in Leo for one after.
6°02′
Mercury in Leo
The Storyteller. A voice that carries.
2°38′
Venus in Cancerretrograde
The Nurturer. Love that makes a home.
20°56′
Mars in Gemini
The Multitasker. Quick with the comeback.

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 Sagittarius
The direction his life grows in: Sagittarius, free and far-ranging.
10°47′
Chiron in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Chiron is a restless question about what it all means, and a gift for lending others a wider view.
20°52′
Black Moon Lilith in Virgo
In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.
24°27′
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 drive, his imagination and his intensity (Mars, Neptune and Pluto) gather in Gemini, 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.
Mars quincunx Saturn almost exact at 0.2°
When to push and when to wait took constant judging, and he learned timing the hard way.
Mercury trine Jupiter almost exact at 0.3°
A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learned easily, told a good story and saw the big picture.
Mars opposition Jupiter almost exact at 0.8°
He took on more than any one person could, and his boldness ran ahead of his plans.
Mercury sextile Mars close at 1.1°
A quick, direct mind: he made decisions fast and said what he meant.
Mercury quincunx Saturn close at 1.3°
Speaking freely and speaking carefully took constant balancing, and he weighed words before letting them go.
Uranus conjunction North Node close at 1.4°
An unusual path: his direction in life came through sudden turns and fresh starts.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
The Sun quincunx Uranus close at 2.1°
His restlessness kept testing his plans, so he changed course more than once to stay true to himself.
The Moon conjunction Mercury wide at 3.4°
He thought with his feelings: memory, mood and wit came together, and his words gave away what he felt.
The Sun quincunx North Node wide at 3.5°
The way forward asked him to bend habits that felt like part of who he was.
Saturn opposition Neptune wide at 4.2°
The dream and the hard work seldom agreed on terms: his discipline and his imagination asked different things of him.
Pluto opposition North Node wide at 5.9°
Old attachments held him back from the way forward, and he grew by letting some things go.
The Sun opposition Saturn wide at 5.9°
Self-belief came slowly and had to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counted.
Jupiter conjunction Uranus wide at 7.1°
An inventive optimism: he believed in the new, and he took leaps others would not.
Uranus opposition Pluto wide at 7.3°
Upheaval and the urge to break free ran strong, and he pushed for change rather than waiting for it.
