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 Sagittarius
The Explorer. Honest, free and far-seeing.
4°41′
Moon in Taurus
The Moon moved from Aries into Taurus at 12:27 a.m. that day, local time: in Aries for a birth before then, in Taurus for one after.
6°59′
Mercury in Sagittarius
The Philosopher. The big picture.
0°49′
Venus in Sagittarius
The Adventurer. Love as an adventure.

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.
17°21′
Chiron in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.
1°31′
Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Lilith is a free mind that keeps only the beliefs it chose.
29°04′
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 heart (the Sun, Mercury and Venus) gather in Sagittarius, 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.
Mercury square Jupiter exact at 0.0°
Big ideas and loose details: he thinks on a large scale, and the small print is where things get away from him.
Mars conjunction Neptune almost exact at 0.1°
Action guided by imagination: he moves on instinct and feeling, and he gives his all to a vision.
Mars sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.5°
Stamina and willpower: he keeps going long after others stop, and he does his best work under pressure.
Neptune sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.7°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Mercury trine Uranus close at 1.4°
A quick, original mind: ideas arrive in flashes, and he sees answers others miss.
Jupiter sextile Neptune close at 1.6°
Faith and imagination together: he believes in people and ideals, and that belief is catching.
