The chart, fact by fact
Planets

Sun in Cancer
The Protector. Home, memory and care.

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 Gemini
The direction his life grows in: Gemini, curious and quick-witted.
27°54′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
5°05′
Black Moon Lilith in Libra
In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.
12°21′
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 intensity (the Sun, Mercury and Pluto) gather in Cancer, and that part of life drew 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 feelings, his optimism and his independence (the Moon, Jupiter and Uranus) gather in Aries, and that part of life drew 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 heart, his drive and his imagination (Venus, Mars and Neptune) gather in Leo, and that part of life drew his attention first.
Grand trine
Three planets in an easy triangle, each in flowing contact with the other two: a gift that comes without effort.
In his chart, his mind, his optimism and his discipline (Mercury in Cancer, Jupiter in Aries and Saturn in Sagittarius) make the triangle, so these came to him naturally.
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.
Jupiter trine Saturn almost exact at 0.4°
Hope and caution in balance: he dreamed big and planned carefully, and both helped.
The Sun square Jupiter almost exact at 0.8°
He reached for more than one life could hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
Saturn trine Uranus almost exact at 0.9°
Old and new sat well together: he could change things without throwing out what worked.
The Sun quincunx Saturn close at 1.2°
The wish to shine and the wish to be careful needed steady adjusting: he moved forward a step, then checked it.
Jupiter conjunction Uranus close at 1.3°
An inventive optimism: he believed in the new, and he took leaps others would not.
The Moon trine Venus close at 1.8°
He put people at ease without trying: kindness and charm came from the same place.

He needed room to be himself, and any rule that fit too tightly got broken.
Neptune sextile North Node wide at 3.1°
Imagination helped him forward, through art, ideals and care for others.

Jupiter square North Node wide at 4.1°
Easy hopes and the harder way forward went different ways, and real growth came from the harder one.
Uranus square North Node wide at 5.4°
The way forward asked for steadiness, and the urge for change kept breaking in.
Mercury trine Jupiter wide at 5.8°
A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learned easily, told a good story and saw the big picture.
Venus conjunction Mars wide at 5.9°
Magnetic: affection and desire came together in him, and people noticed.
Mercury trine Saturn wide at 6.2°
A patient, exact mind: he chose every word, and his thinking got sharper with practice.
The Sun sextile Neptune wide at 6.4°
Imagination and identity worked together: he could become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
Chart signature
What’s this?Close
The chart’s balance at a glance: which of the four elements and three modes it leans on, which body is most connected, and any body standing alone.
Elements
Modes
No earth at all, so the practical, settled side was the one he had to find.
No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through took deliberate effort.
