The chart, fact by fact
Planets

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 Taurus
The Gardener. Steady, sensual and sure.

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 Cancer
The direction his life grows in: Cancer, protective and caring.
14°29′
Chiron in Cancer
In Cancer, Chiron is an early longing to belong somewhere, and a knack for making strangers feel at home.
7°20′
Black Moon Lilith in Gemini
In Gemini, Lilith is the quick tongue that says out loud what the room only thinks.
20°03′
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 drive (the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars) gather in Taurus, 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 Sun trine Jupiter almost exact at 0.1°
His confidence came easily and spread: he thought big, and other people wanted to come along.
Mercury conjunction Venus almost exact at 0.3°
Words with charm in them: he had an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people liked listening to him.
Venus square Saturn close at 1.1°
Love felt like something to be earned, and he held back until he was sure of it.
Mercury square Saturn close at 1.4°
He doubted his own ideas before anyone else could, and so he checked every one twice.
The Moon opposition Uranus close at 1.4°
His moods changed without warning, and he wanted closeness and room to breathe at the same time.
Venus sextile North Node close at 2.0°
Love and friendship moved him forward: the people he cared for helped him find his way.

Imagination and intensity in one place, a meeting that comes about once in five hundred years: a feel for how things end and begin again.
The Sun conjunction Mercury wide at 3.8°
His mind and his identity were close together: he spoke as he thought, and his ideas were part of who he was.
Mercury trine Jupiter wide at 4.0°
A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learned easily, told a good story and saw the big picture.

The way forward asked for steadiness, and the urge for change kept breaking in.

The direction his life took suited him: being himself and growing went hand in hand.
Jupiter opposition North Node wide at 6.2°
Easy hopes and the harder way forward went different ways, and real growth came from the harder one.

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.

No water at all, so feelings came out in actions more than in words.
