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 Scorpio
The Detective. Intense, private and loyal.
4°37′
Moon in Aries
The Moon moved from Pisces into Aries at 7:47 a.m. that day, local time: in Pisces for a birth before then, in Aries for one after.
2°26′
Mercury in Libra
The Mediator. Both sides of the question.
16°12′
Venus in Scorpio
The Devotee. All or nothing.
19°43′
Mars in Libra
The Negotiator. A fighter for fairness.
9°51′

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.
18°11′
Chiron in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.
0°19′
Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Lilith is a free mind that keeps only the beliefs it chose.
25°46′
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 identity, his heart and his discipline (the Sun, Venus and Saturn) gather in Scorpio, and that part of life draws his attention first.
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 imagination (Mercury, Mars and Neptune) gather in Libra, and that part of life draws his attention first.
Stellium

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.
Neptune sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.1°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
The Moon trine Uranus almost exact at 0.1°
His feelings like freedom: he needs space in close ties and gives it back just as easily.
Jupiter sextile Neptune almost exact at 0.5°
Faith and imagination together: he believes in people and ideals, and that belief is catching.
Jupiter conjunction Pluto almost exact at 0.6°
Large ambitions and the will to see them through: he works on a grand scale.
Venus conjunction Saturn close at 1.8°
Serious about love: he gives affection slowly, and once given, it stays given.
Mercury sextile North Node close at 2.0°
His way with words helps him find his direction, and the right ideas come at the right time.

The Sun conjunction Neptune wide at 6.4°
He takes in moods, music and other people’s hopes, and gives them back as something new.
Saturn square Pluto wide at 6.8°
Heavy demands and hard limits: he faces a great deal of pressure and comes out tougher for it.
