The chart, fact by fact
Planets

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 Cancer
The Sun moved from Gemini into Cancer at 10:06 a.m. that day, local time: in Gemini for a birth before then, in Cancer for one after.
0°05′
Moon in Cancer
The Moon moved from Gemini into Cancer at 1:16 a.m. that day, local time: in Gemini for a birth before then, in Cancer for one after.

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 Leo
The direction his life grows in: Leo, warm and dramatic.
12°18′
Chiron in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.
12°04′
Black Moon Lilith in Taurus
In Taurus, Lilith is an appetite for pleasure that sees no need to apologise.
27°44′
The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.
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.
Mars opposition Uranus almost exact at 0.3°
Restless and quick to rebel: he pushed against limits, and sudden decisions came with the territory.
Mercury trine Saturn almost exact at 0.3°
A patient, exact mind: he chose every word, and his thinking got sharper with practice.
Jupiter conjunction Pluto almost exact at 0.9°
Large ambitions and the will to see them through: he worked on a grand scale.
The Moon opposition Uranus close at 1.4°
His moods changed without warning, and he wanted closeness and room to breathe at the same time.
The Moon conjunction Mars close at 1.6°
His feelings ran hot and fast, and he protected the people he loved fiercely.
Mars conjunction Neptune close at 2.7°
Action guided by imagination: he moved on instinct and feeling, and he gave his all to a vision.
