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.
10°00′
Moon in Taurus
The Moon moved from Taurus into Gemini at 7:06 p.m. that day, local time: in Taurus for a birth before then, in Gemini for one after.
26°05′
Mercury in Aquarius
The Inventor. The original thinker.
25°57′
Venus in Aquarius
The Kindred Spirit. Friend first, lover too.

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 Leo
The direction his life grows in: Leo, warm and dramatic.
6°17′
Chiron in Virgo
In Virgo, Chiron is the sense that no effort is ever quite enough, and a gift for patient, practical help.
12°51′
Black Moon Lilith in Virgo
In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.
1°12′
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 heart, his independence and his imagination (Venus in Aquarius, Uranus in Gemini and Neptune in Libra) make the triangle, so these came 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.
Jupiter sextile Saturn almost exact at 0.1°
Hope and caution in balance: he dreamed big and planned carefully, and both helped.
The Moon square Mercury almost exact at 0.1°
His head and his feelings argued: he knew what he thought before he knew what he felt, or the other way round.
Pluto conjunction North Node almost exact at 0.6°
A path of transformation: his direction in life asked him to change himself completely, more than once.
Uranus sextile North Node close at 1.3°
Change helped him forward: he grew by trying the new.
Uranus trine Neptune close at 1.5°
Change and idealism went together: new ideas came wrapped in dreams of a better world.
Uranus sextile Pluto close at 1.9°
He could help change things at the root, and upheaval suited him.
