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 Leo
The Bright One. Warm, proud and generous.
6°52′
Moon in Cancer
The Moon moved from Gemini into Cancer at 12:14 a.m. that day, local time: in Gemini for a birth before then, in Cancer for one after.
6°01′
Mercury in Leo
The Storyteller. A voice that carries.
28°49′
Venus in Virgo
The Quiet Romantic. Love in small attentions.
20°13′
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 Pisces
The direction his life grows in: Pisces, dreamy and compassionate.
3°00′
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.
10°15′
Black Moon Lilith in Leo
In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.
26°08′
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 drive (the Sun, Mercury and Mars) gather in Leo, 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 Moon square Uranus almost exact at 0.4°
His moods change without warning, and he wants closeness and room to breathe at the same time.
Mercury square Neptune almost exact at 0.7°
Facts and dreams blur together in his mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details matter.
Mercury sextile Jupiter almost exact at 0.8°
A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learns easily, tells a good story and sees the big picture.
The Sun conjunction Mars close at 1.0°
Purpose and drive in one place: he is quick to start, quick to compete and hard to stop.
The Sun sextile Uranus close at 1.2°
Independence comes easily: he does things his own way, and people find it refreshing rather than rude.
Venus trine Saturn close at 1.3°
Loyal in love: he chooses carefully, and what he builds with people lasts.

Mars sextile Uranus close at 2.2°
Quick and inventive in action: he moves fast, breaks with habit and makes sudden changes work.
Uranus quincunx North Node close at 2.6°
Sudden changes keep shifting the way forward, and he adapts each time.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 2.7°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
The Sun quincunx North Node wide at 3.9°
The way forward asks him to bend habits that feel like part of who he is.
Saturn trine Pluto wide at 4.0°
Endurance: he can work through hard times, and what he builds survives pressure.
Mercury opposition North Node wide at 4.2°
Old ideas and the way forward are at odds, and he learns new ways of thinking to move on.
Neptune square North Node wide at 4.8°
Dreams and the way forward clash, and growing means trading some illusions for clear sight.
Jupiter trine North Node wide at 5.0°
Hope helps him grow: faith in what is possible keeps him moving forward.
Venus conjunction Pluto wide at 5.2°
A deep, private heart: he draws people in and keeps some feelings locked away.
Saturn opposition Neptune wide at 6.7°
The dream and the hard work seldom agree on terms: his discipline and his imagination ask different things of him.
