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 Virgo
The Fixer. Precise, useful and kind.

Moon in Capricorn
The Steady Hand. Steady feeling, kept in check.
7°55′

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 Scorpio
The direction his life grows in: Scorpio, intense and private.
5°09′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
1°32′
Black Moon Lilith in Taurus
In Taurus, Lilith is an appetite for pleasure that sees no need to apologise.
4°11′
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 mind, his heart, his drive and his intensity (Mercury, Venus, Mars and Pluto) 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.
Mercury conjunction Mars almost exact at 0.1°
He thinks fast and speaks faster: his mind likes a contest, and his words have an edge.
Saturn trine Neptune almost exact at 0.2°
Practical dreams: he gives ideals a shape and works to make them real.
The Sun square Neptune almost exact at 0.3°
The self he knows and the image others see drift apart at times, and he works to keep hold of the real one.
Saturn sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.6°
Endurance: he can work through hard times, and what he builds survives pressure.
Neptune sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.8°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Uranus conjunction North Node almost exact at 0.9°
An unusual path: his direction in life comes through sudden turns and fresh starts.
