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.
5°52′
Moon in Gemini
The Moon moved from Taurus into Gemini at 1:05 a.m. that day, local time: in Taurus for a birth before then, in Gemini for one after.
5°32′
Mercury in Libraretrograde
The Mediator. Both sides of the question.
25°57′
Venus in Virgo
The Quiet Romantic. Love in small attentions.

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 Virgo
The direction his life grows in: Virgo, precise and helpful.
3°46′
Chiron in Leo
In Leo, Chiron is a quiet doubt about deserving the light, and a gift for helping others shine without apology.
24°43′
Black Moon Lilith in Cancer
In Cancer, Lilith is a fierce need to belong, and no wish to look after anyone on command.
3°41′
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 mind and his drive (the Sun, Mercury and Mars) gather in Libra, and that part of life draws 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.
The Sun trine the Moon almost exact at 0.3°
His purpose and his feelings are on the same side: the life he chooses and the comfort he needs go together.
Uranus square North Node almost exact at 0.7°
The way forward asks for steadiness, and the urge for change keeps breaking in.
The Sun sextile Pluto close at 1.0°
A quiet strength: under pressure he grows more focused, and he knows how to start over.
Mars sextile Pluto close at 1.1°
Stamina and willpower: he keeps going long after others stop, and he does his best work under pressure.
The Moon conjunction Uranus close at 1.1°
Restless feelings: he feels most at home where things are new.
Venus sextile Jupiter close at 1.4°
Affection comes to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism help each other.
