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.
23°39′
Moon in Aquarius
The Moon moved from Aquarius into Pisces at 1:53 p.m. that day, local time: in Aquarius for a birth before then, in Pisces for one after.
28°55′
Mercury in Gemini
The Quick Wit. The messenger at home.
12°59′
Venus in Taurus
The Keeper. Slow, sensual and loyal.
11°18′

The Multitasker. Quick with the comeback.

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 Capricorn
The direction his life grows in: Capricorn, ambitious and patient.
4°14′
Chiron in Gemini
In Gemini, Chiron is an old fear of not being heard, which becomes a gift for finding the words others lack.
14°55′
Black Moon Lilith in Libra
In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.
14°10′
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 heart and his independence (the Sun, Venus and Uranus) gather in Taurus, and that part of life drew his attention first.
Yod
Two planets in easy contact both point awkwardly at a third, which becomes the focus: a talent that takes constant adjusting.
In his chart, his identity (the Sun in Taurus) and his intensity (Pluto in Cancer) both point at his optimism (Jupiter in Sagittarius), the part of him that kept needing adjustment and gave his life its focus.
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.
The Sun quincunx Jupiter almost exact at 0.9°
He kept fitting his ambitions to his purpose, and some big plans had to wait.
Mercury square Neptune close at 1.0°
Facts and dreams blurred together in his mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details mattered.
The Sun sextile Pluto close at 1.8°
A quiet strength: under pressure he grew more focused, and he knew how to start over.
The Moon square Mars close at 2.0°
Quick feelings and a quick temper: he reacted first, and his courage came from the same place as his flashes of anger.
Jupiter square Saturn close at 2.2°
Growth and caution kept checking each other: he moved forward in bursts, then paused to consolidate.
Uranus trine North Node close at 2.3°
Change helped him forward: he grew by trying the new.

Venus trine Neptune close at 2.7°
A romantic with an artist’s eye: he saw the beauty in people and made it visible to others.
Jupiter quincunx Pluto close at 2.7°
The bigger the stakes grew, the more he had to rethink his aims.
The Sun sextile Saturn wide at 3.1°

Venus conjunction Uranus wide at 4.8°
Love at first sight, and freedom after it: the different and the new won his heart.
Saturn trine Pluto wide at 4.9°
Endurance: he could work through hard times, and what he built survived pressure.
Saturn opposition Neptune wide at 6.5°
The dream and the hard work seldom agreed on terms: his discipline and his imagination asked different things of him.
The Sun conjunction Mars wide at 7.2°
Purpose and drive in one place: he was quick to start, quick to compete and hard to stop.
