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 Libra
The Diplomat. Grace, fairness and balance.
2°59′
Moon in Gemini
The Moon moved from Taurus into Gemini at 12:32 a.m. that day, local time: in Taurus for a birth before then, in Gemini for one after.
6°53′
Mercury in Virgo
The Analyst. The editor’s eye.
28°05′
Venus in Virgo
The Quiet Romantic. Love in small attentions.

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 Cancer
The direction his life grows in: Cancer, protective and caring.
4°42′
Chiron in Libra
In Libra, Chiron is a soft spot around being chosen and kept, and a gift for making others feel met as equals.
8°26′
Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Lilith is an intensity and a private power that stay unexplained.
5°25′
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 optimism and his imagination (the Sun, Jupiter and Neptune) gather in Libra, and that part of life draws his attention first.
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 Moon trine Jupiter almost exact at 0.1°
Good-hearted and generous: he feels looked after by life, and he passes that on.
Jupiter conjunction Neptune almost exact at 0.7°
A dreamer’s faith: he believes in something larger, and his compassion and his hopes go together.
The Moon trine Neptune almost exact at 0.8°
He picks up what others feel before a word is said, and his compassion reaches far.
Neptune square North Node close at 1.4°
Dreams and the way forward clash, and growing means trading some illusions for clear sight.
The Sun square North Node close at 1.7°
Being himself and growing ask for different things, and his biggest steps forward come when he stretches past his habits.
Jupiter square North Node close at 2.1°
Easy hopes and the harder way forward go different ways, and real growth comes from the harder one.
