Moon in Sagittarius
The Moon moved from Scorpio into Sagittarius at 3:34 a.m. that day, local time: in Scorpio for a birth before then, in Sagittarius for one after.

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.
13°21′
Chiron in Aries
In Aries, Chiron is a doubt about the right to go first, and with it a talent for giving others their nerve.
26°01′
Black Moon Lilith in Aries
In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.
15°44′
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.
Grand trine
Three planets in an easy triangle, each in flowing contact with the other two: a gift that comes without effort.
In his chart, his heart, his drive and his independence (Venus in Pisces, Mars in Cancer and Uranus in Scorpio) make the triangle, so these came to him naturally.
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.
Venus trine Uranus almost exact at 0.6°
He loved the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.
The Sun square Mars almost exact at 0.7°
He fought hard for what he wanted, and his temper was part of his courage.
The Moon square Venus close at 2.1°
What comforted him and what he loved were different things, so his heart and his moods kept negotiating.
Mars sextile Jupiter close at 2.3°
Big drive and big confidence: he went after large goals, and his enthusiasm carried others along.
Jupiter square Saturn close at 2.6°
Growth and caution kept checking each other: he moved forward in bursts, then paused to consolidate.
Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 3.3°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.

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.
No earth at all, so the practical, settled side was the one he had to find.
