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 Taurus
The Gardener. Steady, sensual and sure.
12°12′
Moon in Leo
The Moon moved from Cancer into Leo at 2:03 a.m. that day, local time: in Cancer for a birth before then, in Leo for one after.
5°55′
Mercury in Gemini
The Quick Wit. The messenger at home.
1°54′
Venus in Gemini
The Charmer. Love through conversation.
18°29′
Mars in Virgoretrograde
The Craftsperson. The craftsman’s drive.

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 Libra
The direction his life grows in: Libra, graceful and fair.
15°39′
Chiron in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Chiron is the feeling of having grown up too soon, and a gift for showing others how to stand on their own.
22°49′
Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.
20°05′
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 mind, his heart and his intensity (Mercury, Venus and Pluto) gather in Gemini, and that part of life drew his attention first.
T-square
Two planets pull against each other, and a third stands at right angles to both, where the strain gathers.
In his chart, his independence (Uranus in Sagittarius) and his imagination (Neptune in Cancer) face each other across the wheel, and his drive (Mars in Virgo) took the strain: the part of him that worked hardest.
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.
Venus conjunction Pluto almost exact at 0.1°
A deep, private heart: he drew people in and kept some feelings locked away.
Jupiter quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.4°
Some hopes had to be let go to fit the way forward, and he chose which ones.
Jupiter square Pluto close at 2.3°
He wanted more power than came easily, and the struggle for it shaped his life.
Venus square Jupiter close at 2.4°
He loved too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures ran past what one life could use.
Mars square Uranus close at 2.5°
Restless and quick to rebel: he pushed against limits, and sudden decisions came with the territory.
Pluto trine North Node close at 2.7°
Deep change helped him forward: each time he started over, he went further.

A quick, direct mind: he made decisions fast and said what he meant.
