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.
24°02′
Moon in Cancer
The Moon moved from Gemini into Cancer at 5:23 a.m. that day, local time: in Gemini for a birth before then, in Cancer for one after.
3°31′
Mercury in Taurus
The Careful Thinker. Slow to decide, sure once decided.
12°59′
Venus in Pisces
The Tender Heart. Love without limits.
14°28′
Mars in Taurus
The Stayer. Slow to start, impossible to stop.
25°57′

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°10′
Chiron in Cancer
In Cancer, Chiron is an early longing to belong somewhere, and a knack for making strangers feel at home.
28°17′
Black Moon Lilith in Virgo
In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.
9°43′
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 optimism (Jupiter in Pisces) and his discipline (Saturn in Virgo) face each other across the wheel, and his imagination (Neptune in Gemini) took the strain: the part of him that worked hardest.

In his chart, his optimism (Jupiter in Pisces) and his discipline (Saturn in Virgo) face each other across the wheel, and his intensity (Pluto in Gemini) 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.
Pluto conjunction North Node almost exact at 0.2°
A path of transformation: his direction in life asked him to change himself completely, more than once.
Neptune conjunction North Node close at 1.2°
A path lit by imagination: he followed a vision more than a plan.
Neptune conjunction Pluto close at 1.4°
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.
Mercury sextile Venus close at 1.5°
A graceful mind: he spoke kindly and well, and he knew how to say a hard thing gently.
Jupiter square Pluto close at 1.8°
He wanted more power than came easily, and the struggle for it shaped his life.
Mercury trine Saturn close at 2.0°
A patient, exact mind: he chose every word, and his thinking got sharper with practice.

The Sun opposition Uranus wide at 5.6°
He needed room to be himself, and any rule that fit too tightly got broken.
Saturn square Neptune wide at 6.0°
The dream and the hard work seldom agreed on terms: his discipline and his imagination asked different things of him.

A generous heart: love and good company came to him easily, and he shared both.
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.
Elements
Modes
The Moon changed sign that day; it is counted where it stood at noon.
Standing alone: Mars. It makes no major aspect, so his drive came in sudden bursts.
