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 Virgo
The Fixer. Precise, useful and kind.
16°41′
Moon in Taurus
The Moon moved from Taurus into Gemini at 5:06 p.m. that day, local time: in Taurus for a birth before then, in Gemini for one after.
27°14′
Mercury in Virgo
The Analyst. The editor’s eye.
3°24′
Venus in Libra
The Sweetheart. Grace, romance and balance.
7°32′
Mars in Sagittarius
The Champion. The long shot.
7°50′

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 Aquarius
The direction his life grows in: Aquarius, independent and original.
21°16′
Chiron in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Chiron is the feeling of having grown up too soon, and a gift for showing others how to stand on their own.
6°38′
Black Moon Lilith in Leo
In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.
18°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 heart, his discipline and his imagination (Venus, Saturn and Neptune) gather in Libra, and that part of life draws 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.
Jupiter square North Node almost exact at 0.3°
Easy hopes and the harder way forward go different ways, and real growth comes from the harder one.
Venus sextile Mars almost exact at 0.3°
Charm and desire work together: he knows what he wants in love and how to win it.
Pluto opposition North Node almost exact at 0.7°
Old attachments hold him back from the way forward, and he grows by letting some things go.
Jupiter quincunx Neptune almost exact at 0.8°
His ideals and his beliefs need constant matching up, and he keeps asking what he really believes.
The Sun sextile Uranus close at 1.0°
Independence comes easily: he does things his own way, and people find it refreshing rather than rude.
Jupiter square Pluto close at 1.0°
He wants more power than comes easily, and the struggle for it shapes his life.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Neptune trine North Node close at 1.1°
Imagination helps him forward, through art, ideals and care for others.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.8°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Uranus square Neptune close at 2.5°
The urge for change and the longing for ideals clash, and he lives with both.
Jupiter sextile Uranus wide at 3.3°
Sudden openings: he spots new chances early and jumps at them.
Saturn square Uranus wide at 3.5°
Tradition and rebellion fight in him: he wants security and freedom, and can rarely have both at once.
The Sun trine Jupiter wide at 4.3°
His confidence comes easily and spreads: he thinks big, and other people want to come along.
Mercury square Mars wide at 4.4°
Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argues well, sometimes too well, and a debate is a kind of sport to him.
Saturn conjunction Neptune wide at 6.0°
He takes dreams seriously and gives them structure, and his ideals have to prove themselves.
Venus conjunction Saturn wide at 6.6°
Serious about love: he gives affection slowly, and once given, it stays given.
