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 Aries
The Pioneer. First in, first to try.
21°07′
Moon in Libra
The Moon moved from Virgo into Libra at 9:17 a.m. that day, local time: in Virgo for a birth before then, in Libra for one after.
1°37′
Mercury in Taurus
The Careful Thinker. Slow to decide, sure once decided.
2°06′
Venus in Taurus
The Keeper. Slow, sensual and loyal.
6°57′
Mars in Pisces
The Gentle Warrior. Strength that flows round.

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.
2°47′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
12°36′
Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Lilith is the outsider’s streak, at its best when it does not fit in.
6°16′
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.
T-square
Two planets pull against each other, and a third stands at right angles to both, where the strain gathers.
In his chart, his discipline (Saturn in Capricorn) and his intensity (Pluto in Cancer) face each other across the wheel, and his independence (Uranus in Aries) took the strain: the part of him that worked hardest.
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.
Saturn square Uranus almost exact at 0.1°
Tradition and rebellion fought in him: he wanted security and freedom, and could rarely have both at once.
Mercury conjunction North Node almost exact at 0.7°
Ideas and talk set his course: he found his direction by learning and talking things through.
Mercury trine Neptune close at 1.1°
He thought in pictures and music: his words carried a mood, and his imagination gave his ideas colour.
Jupiter sextile Uranus close at 1.7°
Sudden openings: he spotted new chances early and jumped at them.
Neptune trine North Node close at 1.8°
Imagination helped him forward, through art, ideals and care for others.
Jupiter quincunx Saturn close at 1.8°
When to expand and when to hold back took constant rethinking.
