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 Aries
The Pioneer. First in, first to try.
27°46′
Moon in Capricorn
The Moon moved from Capricorn into Aquarius at 5:46 p.m. that day, local time: in Capricorn for a birth before then, in Aquarius for one after.
26°44′
Mercury in Taurusretrograde
Mercury moved from Taurus into Aries at 10:52 p.m. that day, local time: in Taurus for a birth before then, in Aries 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 Aquarius
The direction his life grows in: Aquarius, independent and original.
21°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.
10°51′
Black Moon Lilith in Virgo
In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.
25°11′
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.
Grand trine
Three planets in an easy triangle, each in flowing contact with the other two: a gift that comes without effort.
In his chart, his drive, his discipline and his intensity (Mars in Capricorn, Saturn in Taurus and Pluto in Virgo) make the triangle, so these come to him naturally.
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 Pluto almost exact at 0.2°
He keeps rebuilding himself to fit what life asks, and control is the hardest thing to give up.
Mars trine Saturn almost exact at 0.6°
His drive and his discipline work together easily: he can push hard and keep going.
The Moon trine Pluto almost exact at 0.9°
His feelings run deep and hold steady: he comes through hard times with more strength than he goes in with.
The Sun square the Moon close at 1.0°
The self he shows the world and the self he comes home to want different things, and he makes room for both.
Saturn square North Node close at 1.2°
Duty and growth compete: what he owes others and where he needs to go call for hard choices.
Venus sextile Saturn close at 1.5°
Loyal in love: he chooses carefully, and what he builds with people lasts.
