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 Pisces
The Dreamer. Gentle, dreamy and deep.
29°18′
Moon in Capricorn
The Moon moved from Sagittarius into Capricorn at 5:42 a.m. that day, local time: in Sagittarius for a birth before then, in Capricorn for one after.
3°19′
Mercury in Pisces
The Poet. Knowing without explaining.
3°03′
Venus in Aries
The Chaser. Love at first sight.
9°00′

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 Libra
The direction his life grows in: Libra, graceful and fair.
8°49′
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.
12°34′
Black Moon Lilith in Pisces
In Pisces, Lilith is a dreamer who wants no rescuing, with a private world all its own.
8°23′
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 independence (the Sun, Mercury and Uranus) gather in Pisces, 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 heart, his drive and his imagination (Venus in Aries, Mars in Sagittarius and Neptune in Leo) 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.
Venus opposition North Node almost exact at 0.2°
What felt comfortable in love and what helped him grow were different things, and he chose between them more than once.
The Moon sextile Mercury almost exact at 0.3°
Feeling and thought spoke the same language: he could put a mood into words, and his words carried feeling.
Mars trine Neptune almost exact at 0.4°
He worked for ideals: his drive came alive for a cause, a role or a dream.
Pluto square North Node almost exact at 0.9°
Old attachments held him back from the way forward, and he grew by letting some things go.
Venus square Pluto close at 1.1°
Love came with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where he stood.
The Moon square Saturn close at 1.3°
Feelings came second to duty: he held himself to a high standard, even in private.
