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 Aries
The Pioneer. First in, first to try.
26°40′
Moon in Scorpio
The Moon moved from Libra into Scorpio at 4:41 a.m. that day, local time: in Libra for a birth before then, in Scorpio for one after.
4°29′
Mercury in Aries
The Spark. First to speak.
17°09′
Venus in Taurusretrograde
The Keeper. Slow, sensual and loyal.
18°12′
Mars in Taurus
The Stayer. Slow to start, impossible to stop.

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 Cancer
The direction his life grows in: Cancer, protective and caring.
15°30′
Chiron in Cancer
In Cancer, Chiron is an early longing to belong somewhere, and a knack for making strangers feel at home.
6°36′
Black Moon Lilith in Gemini
In Gemini, Lilith is the quick tongue that says out loud what the room only thinks.
18°43′
The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.
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.
Mars square Saturn almost exact at 0.1°
Drive with the brakes on: he wanted to move, something held him back, and the friction made him tough.
Venus quincunx Uranus close at 1.5°
Affection and independence needed constant trading off, and he kept renegotiating the terms of his relationships.
Mercury square North Node close at 1.7°
Old ideas and the way forward were at odds, and he learned new ways of thinking to move on.
Mars sextile North Node close at 2.2°
Courage moved him forward, and each bold step took him further along his path.
Mercury opposition Uranus close at 2.5°
His mind ran ahead of the conversation: he said the unexpected thing, and not everyone was ready to hear it.
Venus sextile North Node close at 2.7°
Love and friendship moved him forward: the people he cared for helped him find his way.

Mercury trine Saturn wide at 3.7°
A patient, exact mind: he chose every word, and his thinking got sharper with practice.
Neptune conjunction Pluto wide at 3.9°
Imagination and intensity in one place, a meeting that comes about once in five hundred years: a feel for how things end and begin again.
Uranus square North Node wide at 4.2°
The way forward asked for steadiness, and the urge for change kept breaking in.
Venus square Saturn wide at 4.8°
Love felt like something to be earned, and he held back until he was sure of it.
Venus conjunction Mars wide at 4.9°
Magnetic: affection and desire came together in him, and people noticed.
Mars trine Jupiter wide at 5.2°
Big drive and big confidence: he went after large goals, and his enthusiasm carried others along.
The Sun opposition Uranus wide at 7.0°
He needed room to be himself, and any rule that fit too tightly got broken.
Jupiter opposition North Node wide at 7.3°
Easy hopes and the harder way forward went different ways, and real growth came from the harder one.
