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 Taurus
The Gardener. Steady, sensual and sure.
20°42′
Moon in Capricorn
The Moon moved from Sagittarius into Capricorn at 8:50 a.m. that day, local time: in Sagittarius for a birth before then, in Capricorn 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 Cancer
The direction his life grows in: Cancer, protective and caring.
14°30′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
22°33′
Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Lilith is a free mind that keeps only the beliefs it chose.
25°34′
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 drive, his discipline and his intensity (Mars, Saturn and Pluto) gather in Libra, and that part of life drew 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 Mars close at 1.2°
Quick feelings and a quick temper: he reacted first, and his courage came from the same place as his flashes of anger.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.7°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Saturn square North Node close at 2.1°
Duty and growth competed: what he owed others and where he needed to go called for hard choices.
Mars sextile Uranus close at 2.8°
Quick and inventive in action: he moved fast, broke with habit and made sudden changes work.
Mercury sextile Venus wide at 3.5°
A graceful mind: he spoke kindly and well, and he knew how to say a hard thing gently.
Mars square Neptune wide at 3.8°
Drive and dreams mixed uneasily: the goal was clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
The Sun quincunx Saturn wide at 4.1°
The wish to shine and the wish to be careful needed steady adjusting: he moved forward a step, then checked it.
The Sun quincunx Pluto wide at 4.1°
He kept rebuilding himself to fit what life asked, and control was the hardest thing to give up.
Mercury trine Saturn wide at 5.0°
A patient, exact mind: he chose every word, and his thinking got sharper with practice.
Venus trine Uranus wide at 5.0°
He loved the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.
The Sun sextile North Node wide at 6.2°
The direction his life took suited him: being himself and growing went hand in hand.
Venus square North Node wide at 6.4°
What felt comfortable in love and what helped him grow were different things, and he chose between them more than once.
