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.
15°33′
Moon in Gemini
The Moon moved from Taurus into Gemini at 4:08 a.m. that day, local time: in Taurus for a birth before then, in Gemini for one after.
4°31′
Mercury in Scorpio
The Investigator. Hears what was left out.
3°24′
Venus in Libra
The Sweetheart. Grace, romance and balance.
27°34′
Mars in Leo
The Leader. Courage with an audience.

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 Virgo
The direction his life grows in: Virgo, precise and helpful.
7°51′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
12°44′
Black Moon Lilith in Virgo
In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.
10°10′
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 heart and his intensity (the Sun, Venus and Pluto) gather in Libra, 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.
Neptune sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.8°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Mercury sextile Jupiter close at 1.5°
A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learns easily, tells a good story and sees the big picture.
Saturn sextile Uranus close at 1.6°
Old and new sit well together: he can change things without throwing out what works.
The Sun sextile Neptune close at 2.6°
Imagination and identity work together: he can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
Saturn square Neptune close at 2.6°
The dream and the hard work seldom agree on terms: his discipline and his imagination ask different things of him.
The Sun conjunction Pluto wide at 3.4°
Intensity at the centre: he wants the whole truth about everything, himself first, and he remakes himself more than once to reach it.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Venus sextile Jupiter wide at 4.3°
Affection comes to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism help each other.
Mercury square Mars wide at 5.1°
Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argues well, sometimes too well, and a debate is a kind of sport to him.
Mercury conjunction Venus wide at 5.8°
Words with charm in them: he has an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people like listening to him.
Jupiter conjunction North Node wide at 5.9°
Generosity is part of his path: teaching, travel and big ideas move him forward.
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.

The Moon changed sign that day; it is counted where it stood at noon.
