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 Aquarius
The Free Thinker. Original, free and humane.
17°42′
Moon in Cancer
The Moon moved from Gemini into Cancer at 3:32 a.m. that day, local time: in Gemini for a birth before then, in Cancer for one after.
5°10′
Mercury in Pisces
The Poet. Knowing without explaining.
5°23′
Venus in Pisces
The Tender Heart. Love without limits.
3°56′
Mars in Taurus
The Stayer. Slow to start, impossible to stop.

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 Pisces
The direction his life grows in: Pisces, dreamy and compassionate.
22°21′
Chiron in Libra
In Libra, Chiron is a soft spot around being chosen and kept, and a gift for making others feel met as equals.
8°54′
Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Lilith is the outsider’s streak, at its best when it does not fit in.
15°10′
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 drive (Mars in Taurus) and his independence (Uranus in Scorpio) face each other across the wheel, and his identity (the Sun in Aquarius) 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.
The Moon trine Mercury almost exact at 0.2°
Feeling and thought spoke the same language: he could put a mood into words, and his words carried feeling.
The Sun square Mars almost exact at 0.3°
He fought hard for what he wanted, and his temper was part of his courage.
The Moon trine Venus close at 1.2°
He put people at ease without trying: kindness and charm came from the same place.
Mercury conjunction Venus close at 1.5°
Words with charm in them: he had an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people liked listening to him.
Mercury trine Saturn close at 1.8°
A patient, exact mind: he chose every word, and his thinking got sharper with practice.
The Sun square Uranus close at 2.1°
He needed room to be himself, and any rule that fit too tightly got broken.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Mars opposition Uranus close at 2.5°
Restless and quick to rebel: he pushed against limits, and sudden decisions came with the territory.
Uranus trine North Node close at 2.5°
Change helped him forward: he grew by trying the new.
Saturn quincunx Pluto close at 2.6°
He kept adjusting between control and acceptance, and learned where each belonged.
Neptune conjunction Pluto wide at 3.2°
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.
Venus trine Saturn wide at 3.3°
Loyal in love: he chose carefully, and what he built with people lasted.
Jupiter square North Node wide at 4.2°
Easy hopes and the harder way forward went different ways, and real growth came from the harder one.
Mercury square Pluto wide at 4.5°
His words had force: he spoke to persuade, and he kept his own counsel until the right moment.
The Sun trine Neptune wide at 4.6°
Imagination and identity worked together: he could become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
Venus square Pluto wide at 5.9°
Love came with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where he stood.
The Sun trine Pluto wide at 7.9°
A quiet strength: under pressure he grew more focused, and he knew how to start over.
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.
No fire at all, so the bold first move came by choice rather than by instinct.
