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.
17°02′
Moon in Leo
The Warm Heart. Warm heart, big feelings.
20°13′
Mercury in Pisces
The Poet. Knowing without explaining.
25°44′
Venus in Pisces
The Tender Heart. Love without limits.
11°08′
Mars in Aries
Mars moved from Pisces into Aries at 2:09 a.m. that day, local time: in Pisces 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 Virgo
The direction his life grows in: Virgo, precise and helpful.
17°14′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
7°57′
Black Moon Lilith in Leo
In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.
19°40′
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 identity, his feelings and his imagination (the Sun in Aries, the Moon in Leo and Neptune in Sagittarius) 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 Moon square Uranus almost exact at 0.1°
His moods change without warning, and he wants closeness and room to breathe at the same time.
The Sun quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.2°
The way forward asks him to bend habits that feel like part of who he is.
The Moon trine Neptune almost exact at 0.2°
He picks up what others feel before a word is said, and his compassion reaches far.
The Sun opposition Pluto almost exact at 0.8°
Nothing about him is halfway: he insists on running his own life, and the struggle makes him formidable.
Mars trine Jupiter close at 1.1°
Big drive and big confidence: he goes after large goals, and his enthusiasm carries others along.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 2.6°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.

Uranus sextile North Node close at 3.0°
Change helps him forward: he grows by trying the new.
The Sun trine the Moon wide at 3.2°
His purpose and his feelings are on the same side: the life he chooses and the comfort he needs go together.
Venus opposition Saturn wide at 3.2°
Love feels like something to be earned, and he holds back until he is sure of it.
Neptune square North Node wide at 3.2°
Dreams and the way forward clash, and growing means trading some illusions for clear sight.
The Sun quincunx Uranus wide at 3.2°
His restlessness keeps testing his plans, so he changes course more than once to stay true to himself.
The Sun trine Neptune wide at 3.4°
Imagination and identity work together: he can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
Mercury trine Jupiter wide at 3.5°
A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learns easily, tells a good story and sees the big picture.
Mercury conjunction Mars wide at 4.6°
He thinks fast and speaks faster: his mind likes a contest, and his words have an edge.
Mercury square Neptune wide at 5.3°
Facts and dreams blur together in his mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details matter.
Mercury trine Uranus wide at 5.5°
A quick, original mind: ideas arrive in flashes, and he sees answers others miss.
Venus opposition North Node wide at 6.1°
What feels comfortable in love and what helps him grow are different things, and he chooses between them more than once.
