Sun in Capricorn
The Architect. Ambitious, patient and dry.

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 Taurus
The direction his life grows in: Taurus, steady and sensual.
16°13′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
0°12′
Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Lilith is a free mind that keeps only the beliefs it chose.
3°48′
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 mind and his independence (the Sun, Mercury and Uranus) gather in Capricorn, 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 trine North Node almost exact at 0.4°
What comforted him also moved him forward: his instincts pointed the right way.
Mars quincunx Neptune almost exact at 0.6°
His drive and his imagination spoke different languages: he went after something before he could say what it was.
Uranus quincunx Pluto almost exact at 0.9°
Freedom and control needed constant adjusting, and he changed in stages rather than all at once.
The Sun quincunx Pluto close at 1.1°
He kept rebuilding himself to fit what life asked, and control was the hardest thing to give up.
Mercury sextile Jupiter close at 1.1°
A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learned easily, told a good story and saw the big picture.
Venus square Jupiter close at 1.7°
He loved too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures ran past what one life could use.

The Sun conjunction Uranus close at 2.1°
Born original: his identity and his need for freedom were the same thing, and he surprised people, himself included.
The Sun square Saturn close at 2.4°
Self-belief came slowly and had to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counted.
Saturn sextile Pluto wide at 3.6°
Endurance: he could work through hard times, and what he built survived pressure.
Neptune sextile North Node wide at 3.8°
Imagination helped him forward, through art, ideals and care for others.
Jupiter opposition North Node wide at 4.3°
Easy hopes and the harder way forward went different ways, and real growth came from the harder one.
Saturn square Uranus wide at 4.5°
Tradition and rebellion fought in him: he wanted security and freedom, and could rarely have both at once.
Mercury trine North Node wide at 5.4°
His way with words helped him find his direction, and the right ideas came at the right time.
Uranus opposition Neptune wide at 5.4°
The urge for change and the longing for ideals clashed, and he lived with both.
Mars opposition Pluto wide at 5.8°
A fierce will: he met opposition head on, and a fight brought out his full strength.
Venus square North Node wide at 6.0°
What felt comfortable in love and what helped him grow were different things, and he chose between them more than once.
The Sun opposition Neptune wide at 7.5°
The self he knew and the image others saw drifted apart at times, and he worked to keep hold of the real one.
