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 Capricorn

    The Architect. Ambitious, patient and dry.

    14°44′

  • Moon in Libra

    The Moon moved from Libra into Scorpio at 6:39 p.m. that day, local time: in Libra for a birth before then, in Scorpio for one after.

    26°17′

  • Mercury in Capricorn

    The Planner. Foundations first.

    24°44′

  • Venus in Capricorn

    The Loyal Partner. Love built to last.

    29°17′

  • Mars in Sagittarius

    The Champion. The long shot.

    18°20′

Beyond the planetsNorth Node in Sagittarius, Chiron and Lilith
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.

    9°48′

  • Chiron in Aries

    In Aries, Chiron is a doubt about the right to go first, and with it a talent for giving others their nerve.

    19°58′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius

    In Aquarius, Lilith is the outsider’s streak, at its best when it does not fit in.

    26°33′

The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.

PatternsStellium, T-square
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 heart (the Sun, Mercury and Venus) gather in Capricorn, and that part of life draws 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 identity (the Sun in Capricorn) and his discipline (Saturn in Cancer) face each other across the wheel, and his intensity (Pluto in Libra) takes the strain: the part of him that works hardest.

Aspects by strength14 between the planets, the closest first
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.

  • Pluto sextile North Node almost exact at 0.6°

    Deep change helps him forward: each time he starts over, he goes further.

  • The Sun sextile Jupiter almost exact at 0.6°

    His confidence comes easily and spreads: he thinks big, and other people want to come along.

  • The Sun opposition Saturn almost exact at 0.8°

    Self-belief comes slowly and has to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counts.

  • Neptune conjunction North Node almost exact at 0.8°

    A path lit by imagination: he follows a vision more than a plan.

  • Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.3°

    A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.

  • Jupiter trine Saturn close at 1.4°

    Hope and caution in balance: he dreams big and plans carefully, and both help.

  • The Moon square Mercury close at 1.5°

    His head and his feelings argue: he knows what he thinks before he knows what he feels, or the other way round.

  • Venus square Uranus close at 2.7°

    Love comes in sudden starts and stops: he falls for people quickly and needs room just as quickly.

  • Jupiter square Neptune wide at 3.5°

    His hopes run ahead of what is real, and he learns to check a beautiful idea against the facts.

  • Mars square Jupiter wide at 4.2°

    He takes on more than any one person can, and his boldness runs ahead of his plans.

  • Jupiter square North Node wide at 4.3°

    Easy hopes and the harder way forward go different ways, and real growth comes from the harder one.

  • Mercury conjunction Venus wide at 4.5°

    Words with charm in them: he has an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people like listening to him.

  • The Sun square Pluto wide at 5.5°

    Nothing about him is halfway: he insists on running his own life, and the struggle makes him formidable.

  • Saturn square Pluto wide at 6.2°

    Heavy demands and hard limits: he faces a great deal of pressure and comes out tougher for it.
