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.
11°26′
Moon in Aquarius
The Moon moved from Capricorn into Aquarius at 6:34 a.m. that day, local time: in Capricorn for a birth before then, in Aquarius for one after.
2°46′
Mercury in Taurus
The Careful Thinker. Slow to decide, sure once decided.
26°17′
Venus in Gemini
The Charmer. Love through conversation.
21°35′
Mars in Pisces
The Gentle Warrior. Strength that flows round.

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 Sagittarius
The direction his life grows in: Sagittarius, free and far-ranging.
1°05′
Chiron in Aries
In Aries, Chiron is a doubt about the right to go first, and with it a talent for giving others their nerve.
25°02′
Black Moon Lilith in Pisces
In Pisces, Lilith is a dreamer who wants no rescuing, with a private world all its own.
9°38′
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.
Yod
Two planets in easy contact both point awkwardly at a third, which becomes the focus: a talent that takes constant adjusting.
In his chart, his identity (the Sun in Taurus) and his discipline (Saturn in Cancer) both point at his imagination (Neptune in Sagittarius), the part of him that keeps needing adjustment and gives his life its focus.

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 Sun quincunx Neptune almost exact at 0.2°
He keeps redrawing the line between the life he has and the life he imagines.
Jupiter trine Neptune almost exact at 0.6°
Faith and imagination together: he believes in people and ideals, and that belief is catching.
Mars trine Saturn close at 1.7°
His drive and his discipline work together easily: he can push hard and keep going.
The Sun sextile Saturn close at 2.6°
Purpose and patience work as a team: he builds slowly and gets better with every year.
The Moon square Uranus close at 2.8°
His moods change without warning, and he wants closeness and room to breathe at the same time.
Saturn quincunx Neptune close at 2.9°
Duty and dreams keep trading places as the priority.

Jupiter square Saturn wide at 3.5°
Growth and caution keep checking each other: he moves forward in bursts, then pauses to consolidate.
Jupiter opposition Pluto wide at 3.6°
He wants more power than comes easily, and the struggle for it shapes his life.
Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 4.2°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
The Sun sextile Mars wide at 4.3°
His purpose and his drive work together: once he decides on something, he moves on it fast.
The Sun quincunx Pluto wide at 4.4°
He keeps rebuilding himself to fit what life asks, and control is the hardest thing to give up.
Mars square Neptune wide at 4.5°
Drive and dreams mix uneasily: the goal is clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.
Mercury opposition North Node wide at 4.8°
Old ideas and the way forward are at odds, and he learns new ways of thinking to move on.
Venus square Mars wide at 5.9°
In love he wants tenderness and a chase at once, and his relationships are rarely calm.
