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 Scorpio
The Detective. Intense, private and loyal.
10°05′
Moon in Capricorn
The Moon moved from Capricorn into Aquarius at 6:05 p.m. that day, local time: in Capricorn for a birth before then, in Aquarius for one after.
26°59′
Mercury in Scorpio
The Investigator. Hears what was left out.
23°54′
Venus in Libra
The Sweetheart. Grace, romance and balance.
21°06′
Mars in Aquarius
The Rebel. Rebel with a cause.

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 Scorpio
The direction his life grows in: Scorpio, intense and private.
4°04′
Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.
3°53′
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 drive and his imagination (Venus in Libra, Mars in Aquarius and Neptune in Gemini) make the triangle, so these came to him naturally.

In his chart, his drive, his imagination and his intensity (Mars in Aquarius, Neptune in Gemini and Pluto in Libra) make the triangle, so these came 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.
Mercury quincunx Neptune almost exact at 0.1°
Meaning came to him before the words did, and clear speech followed the feeling.
Neptune trine Pluto almost exact at 0.1°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
The Sun opposition Saturn almost exact at 0.2°
Self-belief came slowly and had to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counted.
Venus trine Mars almost exact at 0.6°
Charm and desire worked together: he knew what he wanted in love and how to win it.
Mars trine Pluto close at 2.1°
Stamina and willpower: he kept going long after others stopped, and he did his best work under pressure.
Mars trine Neptune close at 2.2°
He worked for ideals: his drive came alive for a cause, a role or a dream.
