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 Aries
The Pioneer. First in, first to try.
11°35′
Moon in Leo
The Moon moved from Cancer into Leo at 6:41 a.m. that day, local time: in Cancer for a birth before then, in Leo for one after.
3°10′
Mercury in Pisces
The Poet. Knowing without explaining.
15°27′
Venus in Aquarius
The Kindred Spirit. Friend first, lover too.
25°12′
Mars in Gemini
The Multitasker. Quick with the comeback.

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.
22°14′
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.
19°50′
Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.
25°25′
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.
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 heart, his discipline and his independence (Venus 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.
Jupiter quincunx Pluto almost exact at 0.2°
The bigger the stakes grow, the more he has to rethink his aims.
Venus trine Uranus close at 1.2°
He loves the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.
The Sun trine Neptune close at 2.1°
Imagination and identity work together: he can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
Saturn trine Uranus close at 2.4°
Old and new sit well together: he can change things without throwing out what works.
Venus sextile North Node close at 3.0°
Love and friendship move him forward: the people he cares for help him find his way.
Mars opposition North Node wide at 3.2°
Old fights and the way forward disagree, and he grows by choosing which battles matter.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Mercury square Mars wide at 3.5°
Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argues well, sometimes too well, and a debate is a kind of sport to him.
Venus trine Saturn wide at 3.6°
Loyal in love: he chooses carefully, and what he builds with people lasts.
Jupiter square Neptune wide at 4.0°
His hopes run ahead of what is real, and he learns to check a beautiful idea against the facts.
Uranus sextile North Node wide at 4.1°
Change helps him forward: he grows by trying the new.
Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 4.2°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Mercury square Neptune wide at 6.0°
Facts and dreams blur together in his mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details matter.
Venus trine Mars wide at 6.2°
Charm and desire work together: he knows what he wants in love and how to win it.
The Sun opposition Pluto wide at 6.3°
Nothing about him is halfway: he insists on running his own life, and the struggle makes him formidable.
Saturn square Pluto wide at 6.5°
Heavy demands and hard limits: he faces a great deal of pressure and comes out tougher for it.
Saturn opposition North Node wide at 6.5°
Duty and growth compete: what he owes others and where he needs to go call for hard choices.
Jupiter trine Saturn wide at 6.7°
Hope and caution in balance: he dreams big and plans carefully, and both help.

What’s this?Close
The chart’s balance at a glance: which of the four elements and three modes it leans on, which body is most connected, and any body standing alone.

Modes
The Moon changed sign that day; it is counted where it stood at noon.
No earth at all, so the practical, settled side is the one he has to find.
