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.
28°34′
Moon in Aries
The Moon moved from Pisces into Aries at 2:13 a.m. that day, local time: in Pisces for a birth before then, in Aries for one after.
5°15′
Mercury in Leo
The Storyteller. A voice that carries.
15°11′
Venus in Cancerretrograde
The Nurturer. Love that makes a home.

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.
23°12′
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.
24°39′
Black Moon Lilith in Gemini
In Gemini, Lilith is the quick tongue that says out loud what the room only thinks.
13°29′
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 heart and his intensity (the Sun, Venus and Pluto) gather in Cancer, and that part of life drew 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.
Jupiter quincunx Pluto close at 1.9°
The bigger the stakes grew, the more he had to rethink his aims.
Uranus quincunx North Node close at 1.9°
Sudden changes kept shifting the way forward, and he adapted each time.
Uranus quincunx Neptune close at 2.0°
Sudden change and slow dreams kept adjusting to each other.
The Sun square Saturn close at 2.5°
Self-belief came slowly and had to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counted.
Saturn sextile North Node close at 2.8°
Discipline helped him grow: patience and hard work kept him on course.
Neptune conjunction North Node wide at 3.9°
A path lit by imagination: he followed a vision more than a plan.

Chart signature
What’s this?Close
The chart’s balance at a glance: which of the four elements and three modes it leans on, which body is most connected, and any body standing alone.

Modes
The Moon changed sign that day; it is counted where it stood at noon.
No earth at all, so the practical, settled side was the one he had to find.
