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 Pisces
The Dreamer. Gentle, dreamy and deep.
13°06′
Moon in Capricorn
The Moon moved from Capricorn into Aquarius at 12:11 p.m. that day, local time: in Capricorn for a birth before then, in Aquarius for one after.
29°54′
Mercury in Pisces
The Poet. Knowing without explaining.
7°03′
Venus in Aries
The Chaser. Love at first sight.
9°17′

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 Pisces
The direction his life grows in: Pisces, dreamy and compassionate.
19°01′
Chiron in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Chiron is the feeling of having grown up too soon, and a gift for showing others how to stand on their own.
1°40′
Black Moon Lilith in Gemini
In Gemini, Lilith is the quick tongue that says out loud what the room only thinks.
16°27′
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 optimism (the Sun, Mercury and Jupiter) gather in Pisces, 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 drive (Mars in Aries) and his discipline (Saturn in Libra) face each other across the wheel, and his independence (Uranus in Cancer) took the strain: the part of him that worked hardest.
Yod
Two planets in easy contact both point awkwardly at a third, which becomes the focus: a talent that takes constant adjusting.
In his chart, his imagination (Neptune in Libra) and his intensity (Pluto in Leo) both point at his optimism (Jupiter in Pisces), the part of him that kept needing adjustment and gave his life its focus.
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 quincunx North Node exact at 0.0°
He grew by testing his ideals against real life, again and again.
The Moon trine Saturn almost exact at 0.3°
Steady feelings: he kept calm under strain, and he loved in ways that lasted.
Jupiter conjunction North Node almost exact at 0.4°
Generosity was part of his path: teaching, travel and big ideas moved him forward.
Jupiter quincunx Neptune almost exact at 0.5°
His ideals and his beliefs needed constant matching up, and he kept asking what he really believed.
Jupiter quincunx Pluto almost exact at 0.5°
The bigger the stakes grew, the more he had to rethink his aims.
Pluto quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.9°
He kept giving up a little control to keep growing.

The Sun trine Uranus wide at 7.7°
Independence came easily: he did things his own way, and people found it refreshing rather than rude.
