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 Taurus
The Gardener. Steady, sensual and sure.
6°23′
Moon in Aquarius
The Moon moved from Capricorn into Aquarius at 10:08 a.m. that day, local time: in Capricorn for a birth before then, in Aquarius 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 Leo
The direction his life grows in: Leo, warm and dramatic.
14°05′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
9°50′
Black Moon Lilith in Virgo
In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.
19°57′
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 identity, his mind and his heart (the Sun, Mercury and Venus) gather in Taurus, 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.
The Sun sextile Jupiter exact at 0.0°
His confidence comes easily and spreads: he thinks big, and other people want to come along.
The Sun trine Pluto close at 1.3°
A quiet strength: under pressure he grows more focused, and he knows how to start over.
Jupiter opposition Pluto close at 1.3°
He wants more power than comes easily, and the struggle for it shapes his life.
Saturn square Neptune close at 1.4°
The dream and the hard work seldom agree on terms: his discipline and his imagination ask different things of him.
Neptune square North Node close at 1.8°
Dreams and the way forward clash, and growing means trading some illusions for clear sight.
Mars quincunx Pluto close at 1.9°
Force and restraint keep trading places, and he learns when to let go.

Being himself and growing ask for different things, and his biggest steps forward come when he stretches past his habits.
