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 Aquarius
The Free Thinker. Original, free and humane.
10°13′
Moon in Taurus
The Moon moved from Aries into Taurus at 11:42 a.m. that day, local time: in Aries for a birth before then, in Taurus 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 Sagittarius
The direction his life grows in: Sagittarius, free and far-ranging.
27°38′
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.
16°54′
Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.
18°37′
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 Aquarius, and that part of life draws 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 feelings (the Moon in Taurus) and his independence (Uranus in Libra) face each other across the wheel, and his heart (Venus in Capricorn) takes the strain: the part of him that works hardest.
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 mind, his discipline and his independence (Mercury in Aquarius, Saturn in Gemini and Uranus in Libra) make the triangle, so these come 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.
Uranus sextile North Node almost exact at 0.1°
Change helps him forward: he grows by trying the new.
The Moon square Venus almost exact at 0.5°
What comforts him and what he loves are different things, so his heart and his moods keep negotiating.
Saturn trine Uranus almost exact at 0.7°
Old and new sit well together: he can change things without throwing out what works.
Saturn opposition North Node almost exact at 0.9°
Duty and growth compete: what he owes others and where he needs to go call for hard choices.
The Sun sextile Neptune close at 1.1°
Imagination and identity work together: he can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
Venus quincunx Saturn close at 1.1°
He keeps weighing pleasure against duty, and joy comes once the work is done.

Chart signature
What’s this?Close

The Moon changed sign that day; it is counted where it stood at noon.
No water at all, so feelings come out in actions more than in words.
