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 Libra
The Diplomat. Grace, fairness and balance.
26°56′
Moon in Aquarius
The Moon moved from Capricorn into Aquarius at 7:46 a.m. that day, local time: in Capricorn for a birth before then, in Aquarius for one after.
2°26′

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 Scorpio
The direction his life grows in: Scorpio, intense and private.
20°46′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
26°49′
Black Moon Lilith in Virgo
In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.
24°42′
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 discipline, his imagination and his intensity (Saturn, Neptune and Pluto) gather in Taurus, 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.
Uranus sextile North Node almost exact at 0.5°
Change helped him forward: he grew by trying the new.
The Moon square Mercury almost exact at 0.6°
His head and his feelings argued: he knew what he thought before he knew what he felt, or the other way round.
Mercury trine Jupiter close at 1.6°
A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learned easily, told a good story and saw the big picture.
The Sun quincunx Saturn close at 2.3°
The wish to shine and the wish to be careful needed steady adjusting: he moved forward a step, then checked it.
Neptune opposition North Node close at 2.8°
Dreams and the way forward clashed, and growing meant trading some illusions for clear sight.
The Sun quincunx Pluto close at 2.9°
He kept rebuilding himself to fit what life asked, and control was the hardest thing to give up.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Uranus trine Neptune wide at 3.3°
Change and idealism went together: new ideas came wrapped in dreams of a better world.
Saturn trine Uranus wide at 3.4°
Old and new sat well together: he could change things without throwing out what worked.
Saturn opposition North Node wide at 3.9°
Duty and growth competed: what he owed others and where he needed to go called for hard choices.
The Sun trine Jupiter wide at 4.5°
His confidence came easily and spread: he thought big, and other people wanted to come along.
Saturn conjunction Pluto wide at 5.2°
Iron will and great patience: he built slowly and for keeps.
The Sun conjunction Mercury wide at 6.1°
His mind and his identity were close together: he spoke as he thought, and his ideas were part of who he was.
Mars opposition Neptune wide at 6.1°
Drive and dreams mixed uneasily: the goal was clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.
Saturn conjunction Neptune wide at 6.7°
He took dreams seriously and gave them structure, and his ideals had to prove themselves.
