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.
16°35′
Moon in Aries
The Quick Flame. Quick to flare, quick to forgive.
11°45′
Mercury in Scorpio
The Investigator. Hears what was left out.
3°54′

The Devotee. All or nothing.
27°08′

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 Gemini
The direction his life grows in: Gemini, curious and quick-witted.
13°17′
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.
25°36′
Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Lilith is a free mind that keeps only the beliefs it chose.
17°32′
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 optimism (Mercury, Venus, Mars and Jupiter) gather in Scorpio, 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.
Pluto sextile North Node almost exact at 0.2°
Deep change helps him forward: each time he starts over, he goes further.
Mercury conjunction Jupiter almost exact at 0.8°
He loves ideas, the bigger the better, and he can talk anyone into hoping.
Saturn sextile Neptune close at 1.3°
Practical dreams: he gives ideals a shape and works to make them real.
The Moon trine Pluto close at 1.3°
His feelings run deep and hold steady: he comes through hard times with more strength than he goes in with.
Mars square Pluto close at 2.3°
A fierce will: he meets opposition head on, and a fight brings out his full strength.
Mars quincunx North Node close at 2.5°
He keeps adjusting how hard he pushes to fit where his life is going.

The Sun trine North Node wide at 3.3°
The direction his life takes suits him: being himself and growing go hand in hand.
Mars square Saturn wide at 3.4°
Drive with the brakes on: he wants to move, something holds him back, and the friction makes him tough.
Mercury square Saturn wide at 3.5°
He doubts his own ideas before anyone else can, and so he checks every one twice.
The Sun sextile Pluto wide at 3.5°
A quiet strength: under pressure he grows more focused, and he knows how to start over.
Jupiter square Saturn wide at 4.2°
Growth and caution keep checking each other: he moves forward in bursts, then pauses to consolidate.
Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 4.4°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Neptune trine North Node wide at 4.6°
Imagination helps him forward, through art, ideals and care for others.
The Sun trine Uranus wide at 5.2°
Independence comes easily: he does things his own way, and people find it refreshing rather than rude.
Saturn conjunction Pluto wide at 5.7°
Iron will and great patience: he builds slowly and for keeps.
Mercury conjunction Mars wide at 6.9°
He thinks fast and speaks faster: his mind likes a contest, and his words have an edge.
Mars conjunction Jupiter wide at 7.6°
Enthusiasm at full speed: he charges at life with confidence, and setbacks slow him only briefly.
The Sun conjunction Neptune wide at 7.9°
He takes in moods, music and other people’s hopes, and gives them back as something new.
