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 Detective. Intense, private and loyal.
22°54′
Moon in Taurus
The Moon moved from Aries into Taurus at 1:19 a.m. that day, local time: in Aries for a birth before then, in Taurus for one after.
6°13′
Mercury in Scorpio
The Investigator. Hears what was left out.
16°03′
Venus in Scorpio
The Devotee. All or nothing.
2°59′
Mars in Scorpio

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 Taurus
The direction his life grows in: Taurus, steady and sensual.
12°13′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
11°28′
Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.
19°48′
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 mind, his heart and his drive (the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars) gather in Scorpio, 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.
Venus sextile Neptune almost exact at 0.5°
A romantic with an artist’s eye: he saw the beauty in people and made it visible to others.
The Moon opposition Venus wide at 3.2°
What comforted him and what he loved were different things, so his heart and his moods kept negotiating.
The Sun trine Pluto wide at 3.4°
A quiet strength: under pressure he grew more focused, and he knew how to start over.
Mercury trine Pluto wide at 3.5°
A probing mind: he got to the bottom of things, and his words had power when he chose to use them.
Mercury opposition North Node wide at 3.8°
Old ideas and the way forward were at odds, and he learned new ways of thinking to move on.
Saturn trine Neptune wide at 5.0°
Practical dreams: he gave ideals a shape and worked to make them real.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
The Sun conjunction Mars wide at 5.1°
Purpose and drive in one place: he was quick to start, quick to compete and hard to stop.
Mars square Neptune wide at 5.5°
Drive and dreams mixed uneasily: the goal was clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.
The Sun conjunction Mercury wide at 6.9°
His mind and his identity were close together: he spoke as he thought, and his ideas were part of who he was.
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.
Elements
Modes
The Moon changed sign that day; it is counted where it stood at noon.
Standing alone: Uranus. It makes no major aspect, so his independent streak ran on its own, unchecked by the rest of the chart.
