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.

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 Virgo
The direction his life grows in: Virgo, precise and helpful.
24°38′
Chiron in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.
29°42′
Black Moon Lilith in Gemini
In Gemini, Lilith is the quick tongue that says out loud what the room only thinks.
24°40′
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 feelings, his optimism and his discipline (the Moon, Jupiter and Saturn) gather in Capricorn, 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.
Saturn quincunx Uranus almost exact at 0.1°
When to keep the rules and when to break them took constant deciding.
The Sun square Jupiter close at 1.3°
He reached for more than one life could hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
The Moon conjunction Saturn close at 1.4°
Self-contained: he kept his feelings in order, and he gave comfort in practical ways rather than in words.
Venus trine Neptune close at 1.9°
A romantic with an artist’s eye: he saw the beauty in people and made it visible to others.
Jupiter trine Pluto close at 2.0°
Ambition with depth: he knew how to build influence, and he used it to make big changes.
Venus opposition Pluto close at 2.6°
Love came with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where he stood.

The Sun quincunx Pluto wide at 3.3°
He kept rebuilding himself to fit what life asked, and control was the hardest thing to give up.
Mars opposition Uranus wide at 3.6°
Restless and quick to rebel: he pushed against limits, and sudden decisions came with the territory.
Mercury trine Neptune wide at 3.8°
He thought in pictures and music: his words carried a mood, and his imagination gave his ideas colour.
Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 4.4°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Mercury conjunction Venus wide at 5.6°
Words with charm in them: he had an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people liked listening to him.
The Sun opposition North Node wide at 6.4°
Being himself and growing asked for different things, and his biggest steps forward came when he stretched past his habits.
