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°21′
Moon in Virgo
The Moon moved from Leo into Virgo at 4:24 a.m. that day, local time: in Leo for a birth before then, in Virgo for one after.
3°49′
Mercury in Scorpio
The Investigator. Hears what was left out.
7°53′
Venus in Scorpio
The Devotee. All or nothing.
18°28′
Mars in Cancer
The Defender. Fierce for its own.

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 Leo
The direction his life grows in: Leo, warm and dramatic.
11°30′
Black Moon Lilith in Leo
In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.
7°12′
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 and his optimism (Mercury, Venus and Jupiter) gather in Scorpio, and that part of life drew his attention first.
T-square
Two planets pull against each other, and a third stands at right angles to both, where the strain gathers.
In his chart, his discipline (Saturn in Aquarius) and his imagination (Neptune in Leo) face each other across the wheel, and his heart (Venus in Scorpio) took the strain: the part of him that worked hardest.

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.
Jupiter trine Uranus almost exact at 0.2°
Sudden openings: he spotted new chances early and jumped at them.
Saturn opposition Neptune almost exact at 0.6°
The dream and the hard work seldom agreed on terms: his discipline and his imagination asked different things of him.
The Sun trine Saturn almost exact at 0.8°
Purpose and patience worked as a team: he built slowly and got better with every year.
The Sun sextile Neptune close at 1.4°
Imagination and identity worked together: he could become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
Venus conjunction Jupiter close at 1.6°
A generous heart: love and good company came to him easily, and he shared both.
Uranus square Pluto close at 1.7°
Upheaval and the urge to break free ran strong, and he pushed for change rather than waiting for it.

Chart signature
What’s this?Close
The chart’s balance at a glance: which of the four elements and three modes it leans on, which body is most connected, and any body standing alone.
Elements
Modes
The Moon changed sign that day; it is counted where it stood at noon.
Standing alone: Mars. It makes no major aspect, so his drive came in sudden bursts.
