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 Sun moved from Aquarius into Pisces at 8:02 p.m. that day, local time: in Aquarius for a birth before then, in Pisces for one after.

Moon in Virgo
The Mender. Care in the details.
12°48′
Mercury in Pisces
The Poet. Knowing without explaining.
15°10′
Venus in Aquarius
The Kindred Spirit. Friend first, lover too.
17°06′
Mars in Capricorn
The Achiever. The disciplined climb.

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 Capricorn
The direction his life grows in: Capricorn, ambitious and patient.
16°02′
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.
14°13′
Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Lilith is a free mind that keeps only the beliefs it chose.
10°15′
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 feelings (the Moon in Virgo) and his mind (Mercury in Pisces) face each other across the wheel, and his discipline (Saturn in Gemini) takes the strain: the part of him that works 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.
Mars square Pluto almost exact at 0.4°
A fierce will: he meets opposition head on, and a fight brings out his full strength.
The Moon square Saturn almost exact at 0.8°
Feelings come second to duty: he holds himself to a high standard, even in private.
Mercury sextile North Node almost exact at 0.9°
His way with words helps him find his direction, and the right ideas come at the right time.
Mercury square Saturn close at 1.5°
He doubts his own ideas before anyone else can, and so he checks every one twice.
The Moon opposition Mercury close at 2.4°
His head and his feelings argue: he knows what he thinks before he knows what he feels, or the other way round.
Saturn quincunx North Node close at 2.4°
Responsibility and growth need steady balancing, and he learns which duties to keep.

The Sun quincunx Pluto wide at 4.3°

The Sun sextile Mars wide at 4.7°

Ambition with depth: he knows how to build influence, and he uses it to make big changes.
Venus trine Uranus wide at 5.7°
He loves the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.
Jupiter square Uranus wide at 6.1°
Restless hope: he wants more freedom than any situation gives, and big changes come suddenly.
Saturn opposition Neptune wide at 6.3°
The dream and the hard work seldom agree on terms: his discipline and his imagination ask different things of him.

The way forward asks for steadiness, and the urge for change keeps breaking in.
The Sun trine Uranus wide at 6.8°

The Sun square Neptune wide at 7.7°
The self he knows and the image others see drift apart at times, and he works to keep hold of the real one.
