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 Leo
The Bright One. Warm, proud and generous.
20°03′
Moon in Pisces
The Moon moved from Pisces into Aries at 12:29 p.m. that day, local time: in Pisces for a birth before then, in Aries for one after.
29°43′
Mercury in Leo
The Storyteller. A voice that carries.
2°51′
Venus in Cancer
The Nurturer. Love that makes a home.
6°55′
Mars in Gemini
The Multitasker. Quick with the comeback.
5°40′

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.
15°56′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
22°35′
Black Moon Lilith in Leo
In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.
6°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 optimism, his discipline, his imagination and his intensity (Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Pluto) gather in Taurus, and that part of life drew 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.
Saturn trine Uranus almost exact at 0.3°
Old and new sat well together: he could change things without throwing out what worked.
Neptune quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.6°
He grew by testing his ideals against real life, again and again.
Mercury sextile Mars close at 2.8°
A quick, direct mind: he made decisions fast and said what he meant.
Uranus square North Node wide at 3.3°
The way forward asked for steadiness, and the urge for change kept breaking in.
The Sun square Neptune wide at 3.5°
The self he knew and the image others saw drifted apart at times, and he worked to keep hold of the real one.
Mercury sextile Pluto wide at 3.6°
A probing mind: he got to the bottom of things, and his words had power when he chose to use them.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Uranus trine Neptune wide at 4.0°
Change and idealism went together: new ideas came wrapped in dreams of a better world.
The Sun trine North Node wide at 4.1°
The direction his life took suited him: being himself and growing went hand in hand.
Saturn conjunction Neptune wide at 4.3°
He took dreams seriously and gave them structure, and his ideals had to prove themselves.
The Sun square Jupiter wide at 4.4°
He reached for more than one life could hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
Jupiter conjunction Pluto wide at 4.8°
Large ambitions and the will to see them through: he worked on a grand scale.
Mars conjunction Pluto wide at 6.4°
Concentrated force: when he wanted something, he went after it with everything.
The Sun square Saturn wide at 7.7°
Self-belief came slowly and had to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counted.
Jupiter conjunction Neptune wide at 7.9°
A dreamer’s faith: he believed in something larger, and his compassion and his hopes went together.
