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 Cancer
The Protector. Home, memory and care.

The Nest-Maker. Home is the heart.

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 Cancer
The direction his life grows in: Cancer, protective and caring.
9°11′
Chiron in Virgo
In Virgo, Chiron is the sense that no effort is ever quite enough, and a gift for patient, practical help.
28°50′
Black Moon Lilith in Libra
In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.
26°37′
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 identity, his feelings and his discipline (the Sun, the Moon and Saturn) gather in Cancer, 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.
Mercury conjunction Pluto almost exact at 0.6°
He thinks like a detective: nothing is taken at face value, and he remembers everything.
The Sun conjunction the Moon close at 1.3°
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 trine Jupiter close at 1.4°
Big drive and big confidence: he goes after large goals, and his enthusiasm carries others along.
Venus trine Neptune close at 1.8°
A romantic with an artist’s eye: he sees the beauty in people and makes it visible to others.
The Sun conjunction Saturn close at 2.3°
Serious from early on: purpose and duty are one thing to him, and he treats his own life as work to be done well.
The Sun sextile Mars wide at 3.4°
His purpose and his drive work together: once he decides on something, he moves on it fast.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
The Sun sextile Jupiter wide at 4.8°
His confidence comes easily and spreads: he thinks big, and other people want to come along.
Neptune square North Node wide at 5.4°
Dreams and the way forward clash, and growing means trading some illusions for clear sight.
Saturn conjunction North Node wide at 5.5°
A serious path: growing asks for patience, and he gives it.
Jupiter square Uranus wide at 6.6°
Restless hope: he wants more freedom than any situation gives, and big changes come suddenly.
The Sun conjunction North Node wide at 7.9°
His identity and his direction in life line up: the more fully he becomes himself, the further he goes.
