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.
2°53′
Moon in Capricorn
The Moon moved from Capricorn into Aquarius at 3:17 p.m. that day, local time: in Capricorn for a birth before then, in Aquarius for one after.
28°10′
Mercury in Pisces
The Poet. Knowing without explaining.
7°27′
Venus in Pisces
The Tender Heart. Love without limits.
9°44′
Mars in Aries
The Trailblazer. First through the door.

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 Aries
The direction his life grows in: Aries, bold and direct.
18°49′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
29°29′
Black Moon Lilith in Taurus
In Taurus, Lilith is an appetite for pleasure that sees no need to apologise.
20°18′
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 drive and his discipline (the Sun, Mars and Saturn) gather in Aries, and that part of life draws his attention first.
Yod
Two planets in easy contact both point awkwardly at a third, which becomes the focus: a talent that takes constant adjusting.
In his chart, his independence (Uranus in Virgo) and his imagination (Neptune in Scorpio) both point at his drive (Mars in Aries), the part of him that keeps needing adjustment and gives his life its focus.
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 quincunx Uranus almost exact at 0.3°
Effort and restlessness keep catching each other off guard, and his plans change at short notice.
Mars quincunx Neptune almost exact at 0.3°
His drive and his imagination speak different languages: he goes after something before he can say what it is.
Mars trine Jupiter almost exact at 0.5°
Big drive and big confidence: he goes after large goals, and his enthusiasm carries others along.
Uranus sextile Neptune almost exact at 0.6°
Change and idealism go together: new ideas come wrapped in dreams of a better world.
Jupiter square Neptune almost exact at 0.8°
His hopes run ahead of what is real, and he learns to check a beautiful idea against the facts.
The Moon trine Uranus close at 1.2°
His feelings like freedom: he needs space in close ties and gives it back just as easily.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
The Moon square Mars close at 1.5°
Quick feelings and a quick temper: he reacts first, and his courage comes from the same place as his flashes of anger.
Mercury conjunction Venus close at 2.3°
Words with charm in them: he has an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people like listening to him.
Pluto quincunx North Node close at 2.4°
He keeps giving up a little control to keep growing.
Saturn conjunction North Node wide at 5.0°
A serious path: growing asks for patience, and he gives it.
Uranus conjunction Pluto wide at 5.7°
Born into a time of upheaval: he wants radical change, and wants it at once.
The Sun opposition Uranus wide at 6.0°
He needs room to be himself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.
The Sun trine Neptune wide at 6.5°
Imagination and identity work together: he can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
Chart signature
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 air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through takes deliberate effort.
