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 Gemini
The Messenger. Curious and many-sided.

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 Sagittarius
The direction his life grows in: Sagittarius, free and far-ranging.
19°24′
Chiron in Aries
In Aries, Chiron is a doubt about the right to go first, and with it a talent for giving others their nerve.
23°25′
Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Lilith is the outsider’s streak, at its best when it does not fit in.
2°50′
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 mind, his drive and his discipline (Mercury, Mars and Saturn) gather in Cancer, and that part of life draws his attention first.
Yod
Two planets in easy contact both point awkwardly at a third, which becomes the focus: a talent that takes constant adjusting.
In his chart, his mind (Mercury in Cancer) and his heart (Venus in Taurus) both point at his imagination (Neptune in Sagittarius), the part of him that keeps needing adjustment and gives his life its focus.
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 square Jupiter almost exact at 0.1°
He reaches for more than one life can hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
Venus quincunx Neptune almost exact at 0.3°
What he wants from love and what love gives him keep needing adjustment, and he learns to see people as they are.
Mercury sextile Venus close at 1.3°
A graceful mind: he speaks kindly and well, and he knows how to say a hard thing gently.
Saturn square Pluto close at 1.3°
Heavy demands and hard limits: he faces a great deal of pressure and comes out tougher for it.
Mercury quincunx Neptune close at 1.5°
Meaning comes to him before the words do, and clear speech follows the feeling.
Saturn quincunx Neptune close at 2.7°
Duty and dreams keep trading places as the priority.
