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 Pisces
The Dreamer. Gentle, dreamy and deep.
3°18′
Moon in Pisces
The Moon moved from Aquarius into Pisces at 5:10 a.m. that day, local time: in Aquarius for a birth before then, in Pisces 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 Capricorn
The direction his life grows in: Capricorn, ambitious and patient.
3°50′
Chiron in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.
2°09′
Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Lilith is an intensity and a private power that stay unexplained.
28°15′
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 drive (Mars in Aries) and his imagination (Neptune in Libra) face each other across the wheel, and his independence (Uranus in Cancer) 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.
The Moon sextile North Node almost exact at 0.1°
What comforts him also moves him forward: his instincts point the right way.
Jupiter trine Saturn almost exact at 0.5°
Hope and caution in balance: he dreams big and plans carefully, and both help.
The Sun sextile North Node almost exact at 0.5°
The direction his life takes suits him: being himself and growing go hand in hand.
The Sun conjunction the Moon almost exact at 0.6°
Born near a new Moon, so what he wants and what he needs move as one: single-minded, and hard to talk out of anything.
Mars opposition Neptune almost exact at 0.7°
Drive and dreams mix uneasily: the goal is clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.
Mars trine Pluto close at 2.0°
Stamina and willpower: he keeps going long after others stop, and he does his best work under pressure.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Venus opposition Jupiter close at 2.2°
He loves too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures run past what one life can use.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 2.7°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Venus sextile Saturn close at 2.7°
Loyal in love: he chooses carefully, and what he builds with people lasts.
Saturn trine Uranus wide at 3.1°
Old and new sit well together: he can change things without throwing out what works.
Mars square Uranus wide at 3.2°
Restless and quick to rebel: he pushes against limits, and sudden decisions come with the territory.
Jupiter conjunction Uranus wide at 3.5°
An inventive optimism: he believes in the new, and he takes leaps others would not.
Uranus square Neptune wide at 3.9°
The urge for change and the longing for ideals clash, and he lives with both.
Saturn square Pluto wide at 4.2°
Heavy demands and hard limits: he faces a great deal of pressure and comes out tougher for it.
The Sun trine Neptune wide at 5.2°
Imagination and identity work together: he can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
Venus opposition Uranus wide at 5.8°
Love comes in sudden starts and stops: he falls for people quickly and needs room just as quickly.
The Sun sextile Mars wide at 5.9°
His purpose and his drive work together: once he decides on something, he moves on it fast.
Mercury square Saturn wide at 6.3°
He doubts his own ideas before anyone else can, and so he checks every one twice.
Mars trine North Node wide at 6.4°
Courage moves him forward, and each bold step takes him further along his path.
The Sun opposition Pluto wide at 7.9°
Nothing about him is halfway: he insists on running his own life, and the struggle makes him formidable.
