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.
26°42′
Moon in Virgo
The Moon moved from Leo into Virgo at 7:40 a.m. that day, local time: in Leo for a birth before then, in Virgo for one after.
2°31′
Mercury in Geminiretrograde
The Quick Wit. The messenger at home.
8°29′
Venus in Cancer
The Nurturer. Love that makes a home.
5°31′

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.
8°13′
Chiron in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.
11°44′
Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.
18°09′
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.
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 identity (the Sun in Taurus) and his discipline (Saturn in Scorpio) face each other across the wheel, and his optimism (Jupiter in Leo) 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.
Mercury opposition North Node almost exact at 0.3°
Old ideas and the way forward were at odds, and he learned new ways of thinking to move on.
The Sun square Pluto almost exact at 0.6°
Nothing about him was halfway: he insisted on running his own life, and the struggle made him formidable.
Uranus square Neptune almost exact at 0.7°
The urge for change and the longing for ideals clashed, and he lived with both.
Saturn trine Uranus almost exact at 0.8°
Old and new sat well together: he could change things without throwing out what worked.
The Sun quincunx Neptune close at 1.6°
He kept redrawing the line between the life he had and the life he imagined.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 2.2°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.

Mars opposition Pluto wide at 5.8°
A fierce will: he met opposition head on, and a fight brought out his full strength.
The Sun square Mars wide at 6.4°
