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.

Beyond the planetsNorth Node in Capricorn, Chiron and Lilith
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 Capricorn

    The direction his life grows in: Capricorn, ambitious and patient.

    27°43′

  • Chiron in Cancer

    In Cancer, Chiron is an early longing to belong somewhere, and a knack for making strangers feel at home.

    22°07′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius

    In Sagittarius, Lilith is a free mind that keeps only the beliefs it chose.

    22°31′

The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.

PatternsStellium
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 and his discipline (the Sun, Mercury and Saturn) gather in Aquarius, and that part of life draws his attention first.

Aspects by strength10 between the planets, the closest first
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 sextile Saturn almost exact at 0.3°

    Steady feelings: he keeps calm under strain, and he loves in ways that last.

  • Mercury square Pluto close at 1.8°

    His words have force: he speaks to persuade, and he keeps his own counsel until the right moment.

  • Mars sextile Jupiter close at 2.7°

    Big drive and big confidence: he goes after large goals, and his enthusiasm carries others along.

  • Uranus conjunction Neptune wide at 3.5°

    Visionary: the new and the ideal meet in his imagination.

  • Saturn conjunction North Node wide at 3.5°

    A serious path: growing asks for patience, and he gives it.

  • Venus trine Pluto wide at 3.6°

    He loves with depth and loyalty, and the bonds he forms change both people.

Show more aspectsShow fewer
  • Venus sextile North Node wide at 3.8°

    Love and friendship move him forward: the people he cares for help him find his way.

  • Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 4.6°

    A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.

  • Jupiter opposition Saturn wide at 4.9°

    Growth and caution keep checking each other: he moves forward in bursts, then pauses to consolidate.

  • The Sun square Pluto wide at 8.0°

    Nothing about him is halfway: he insists on running his own life, and the struggle makes him formidable.
