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 Scorpio
The Sun moved from Libra into Scorpio at 6:35 a.m. that day, local time: in Libra for a birth before then, in Scorpio for one after.
0°14′
Moon in Gemini
The Talker. Feeling by talking.
19°53′
Mercury in Libra
The Mediator. Both sides of the question.
17°13′
Venus in Virgo
The Quiet Romantic. Love in small attentions.
20°19′
Mars in Pisces
The Gentle Warrior. Strength that flows round.

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 Scorpio
The direction his life grows in: Scorpio, intense and private.
29°13′
Chiron in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.
6°28′
Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Lilith is the outsider’s streak, at its best when it does not fit in.
5°54′
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 heart, his optimism and his intensity (Venus, Jupiter and Pluto) gather in Virgo, 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.
The Sun conjunction Neptune almost exact at 0.1°
He takes in moods, music and other people’s hopes, and gives them back as something new.
Neptune sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.1°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
The Sun sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.2°
A quiet strength: under pressure he grows more focused, and he knows how to start over.
The Moon square Venus almost exact at 0.4°
What comforts him and what he loves are different things, so his heart and his moods keep negotiating.
Pluto square North Node almost exact at 0.8°
Old attachments hold him back from the way forward, and he grows by letting some things go.
Saturn square Pluto close at 1.3°
Heavy demands and hard limits: he faces a great deal of pressure and comes out tougher for it.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Venus conjunction Jupiter close at 2.0°
A generous heart: love and good company come to him easily, and he shares both.
Saturn conjunction North Node close at 2.1°
A serious path: growing asks for patience, and he gives it.
The Moon trine Mercury close at 2.7°
Feeling and thought speak the same language: he can put a mood into words, and his words carry feeling.
Saturn trine Uranus wide at 5.5°
Old and new sit well together: he can change things without throwing out what works.
Venus opposition Mars wide at 6.0°
In love he wants tenderness and a chase at once, and his relationships are rarely calm.
The Sun square Uranus wide at 6.6°
He needs room to be himself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.
Uranus square Neptune wide at 6.7°
The urge for change and the longing for ideals clash, and he lives with both.
