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 Virgo
The Fixer. Precise, useful and kind.
14°05′
Moon in Pisces
The Tide. Tender, and stronger than it looks.
6°53′
Mercury in Libra
The Mediator. Both sides of the question.
6°43′
Venus in Scorpio
Venus moved from Libra into Scorpio at 5:06 a.m. that day, local time: in Libra for a birth before then, in Scorpio for one after.
0°17′
Mars in Cancer
The Defender. Fierce for its own.

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 Aries
The direction his life grows in: Aries, bold and direct.
24°13′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
18°49′
Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Lilith is the outsider’s streak, at its best when it does not fit in.
22°55′
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 drive, his optimism and his intensity (Mars, Jupiter and Pluto) gather in Cancer, and that part of life drew his attention first.
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 Cancer) and his discipline (Saturn in Capricorn) face each other across the wheel, and his mind (Mercury in Libra) 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.
Jupiter square Uranus almost exact at 0.4°
Restless hope: he wanted more freedom than any situation gave, and big changes came suddenly.
The Sun quincunx Uranus almost exact at 0.4°
His restlessness kept testing his plans, so he changed course more than once to stay true to himself.
Mercury square Mars almost exact at 0.5°
Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argued well, sometimes too well, and a debate was a kind of sport to him.
The Moon trine Mars almost exact at 0.7°
His feelings turned straight into action: when something mattered, he did something about it.
The Sun sextile Jupiter almost exact at 0.8°
His confidence came easily and spread: he thought big, and other people wanted to come along.
Mars opposition Saturn almost exact at 0.9°
Drive with the brakes on: he wanted to move, something held him back, and the friction made him tough.
