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.

Beyond the planetsNorth Node in Aquarius, Chiron and Lilith
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°49′

  • 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.

    8°31′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Leo

    In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.

    12°21′

The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.

PatternsStellium
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 mind, his heart and his intensity (Mercury, Venus and Pluto) gather in Leo, and that part of life draws his attention first.

Aspects by strength19 between the planets, the closest first
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.

  • Mercury opposition North Node almost exact at 0.3°

    Old ideas and the way forward are at odds, and he learns new ways of thinking to move on.

  • Mercury conjunction Pluto close at 1.2°

    He thinks like a detective: nothing is taken at face value, and he remembers everything.

  • Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.4°

    A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.

  • Pluto opposition North Node close at 1.5°

    Old attachments hold him back from the way forward, and he grows by letting some things go.

  • Jupiter sextile Uranus close at 1.7°

    Sudden openings: he spots new chances early and jumps at them.

  • The Moon trine Saturn close at 2.4°

    Steady feelings: he keeps calm under strain, and he loves in ways that last.

  • Jupiter quincunx Neptune close at 2.5°

    His ideals and his beliefs need constant matching up, and he keeps asking what he really believes.

  • Mercury sextile Neptune close at 2.5°

    He thinks in pictures and music: his words carry a mood, and his imagination gives his ideas colour.

  • Neptune trine North Node close at 2.8°

    Imagination helps him forward, through art, ideals and care for others.

  • The Sun quincunx North Node wide at 3.2°

    The way forward asks him to bend habits that feel like part of who he is.

  • Jupiter square Pluto wide at 3.8°

    He wants more power than comes easily, and the struggle for it shapes his life.

  • Uranus square Neptune wide at 4.1°

    The urge for change and the longing for ideals clash, and he lives with both.

  • Mercury square Jupiter wide at 5.0°

    Big ideas and loose details: he thinks on a large scale, and the small print is where things get away from him.

  • Jupiter square North Node wide at 5.3°

    Easy hopes and the harder way forward go different ways, and real growth comes from the harder one.

  • Saturn square Uranus wide at 5.6°

    Tradition and rebellion fight in him: he wants security and freedom, and can rarely have both at once.

  • Mars trine Uranus wide at 5.7°

    Quick and inventive in action: he moves fast, breaks with habit and makes sudden changes work.

  • The Sun square Neptune wide at 6.0°

    The self he knows and the image others see drift apart at times, and he works to keep hold of the real one.

  • The Sun conjunction Venus wide at 6.3°

    Charm comes naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things are close to his core.

  • Mars opposition Jupiter wide at 7.3°

    He takes on more than any one person can, and his boldness runs ahead of his plans.
