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.
0°48′
Moon in Leo
The Moon moved from Cancer into Leo at 6:23 a.m. that day, local time: in Cancer for a birth before then, in Leo for one after.
3°22′
Mercury in Capricorn
The Planner. Foundations first.
6°24′
Venus in Pisces
The Tender Heart. Love without limits.
15°58′
Mars in Scorpio
The Strategist. Will under a still surface.

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.
9°48′
Chiron in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.
0°43′
Black Moon Lilith in Aries
In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.
0°01′
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.
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 identity (the Sun in Aquarius) and his feelings (the Moon in Leo) face each other across the wheel, and his drive (Mars in Scorpio) took the strain: the part of him that worked hardest.
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.
Mercury opposition Neptune almost exact at 0.3°
Facts and dreams blurred together in his mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details mattered.
The Moon square Mars almost exact at 0.4°
Quick feelings and a quick temper: he reacted first, and his courage came from the same place as his flashes of anger.
Saturn trine Pluto almost exact at 0.8°
Endurance: he could work through hard times, and what he built survived pressure.
Jupiter sextile Saturn close at 1.7°
Hope and caution in balance: he dreamed big and planned carefully, and both helped.
Mars sextile Uranus close at 1.9°
Quick and inventive in action: he moved fast, broke with habit and made sudden changes work.
Mars trine Neptune close at 2.4°
He worked for ideals: his drive came alive for a cause, a role or a dream.

The Sun square Jupiter wide at 8.3°
