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.
8°51′
Moon in Taurus
The Moon moved from Aries into Taurus at 7:18 a.m. that day, local time: in Aries for a birth before then, in Taurus 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 Scorpio
The direction his life grows in: Scorpio, intense and private.
19°38′
Chiron in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.
17°09′
Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Lilith is the outsider’s streak, at its best when it does not fit in.
26°56′
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 identity and his feelings (the Sun and the Moon, together in Taurus) and his imagination (Neptune in Scorpio) face each other across the wheel, and his independence (Uranus in Leo) 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.
Venus quincunx Saturn almost exact at 0.5°
He keeps weighing pleasure against duty, and joy comes once the work is done.
The Moon square Uranus almost exact at 0.5°
His moods change without warning, and he wants closeness and room to breathe at the same time.
Mercury opposition North Node close at 1.0°
Old ideas and the way forward are at odds, and he learns new ways of thinking to move on.
Mars sextile Pluto close at 1.2°
Stamina and willpower: he keeps going long after others stop, and he does his best work under pressure.
The Moon opposition Neptune close at 1.5°
His feelings and his imagination pull in different directions: he lives between what is real and what he longs for.
Uranus square Neptune close at 2.0°
The urge for change and the longing for ideals clash, and he lives with both.

He takes on more than any one person can, and his boldness runs ahead of his plans.
The Sun quincunx Saturn wide at 4.4°

The Sun square Uranus wide at 5.8°

Mercury conjunction Venus wide at 5.9°
Words with charm in them: he has an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people like listening to him.
Venus opposition North Node wide at 6.9°
What feels comfortable in love and what helps him grow are different things, and he chooses between them more than once.
The Sun opposition Neptune wide at 7.8°
