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 Sagittarius
The Explorer. Honest, free and far-seeing.

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 Aries
The direction his life grows in: Aries, bold and direct.
17°14′
Chiron in Virgo
In Virgo, Chiron is the sense that no effort is ever quite enough, and a gift for patient, practical help.
20°35′
Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Lilith is a free mind that keeps only the beliefs it chose.
28°03′
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.
Yod
Two planets in easy contact both point awkwardly at a third, which becomes the focus: a talent that takes constant adjusting.
In his chart, his identity (the Sun in Sagittarius) and his discipline (Saturn in Libra) both point at his optimism (Jupiter in Taurus), the part of him that kept needing adjustment and gave his life its focus.
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 Saturn almost exact at 0.5°
When to expand and when to hold back took constant rethinking.
Mars quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.5°
He kept adjusting how hard he pushed to fit where his life was going.
Uranus quincunx Neptune close at 1.5°
Sudden change and slow dreams kept adjusting to each other.
Venus trine Pluto close at 1.8°
He loved with depth and loyalty, and the bonds he formed changed both people.
The Sun sextile Saturn close at 2.2°
Purpose and patience worked as a team: he built slowly and got better with every year.
Neptune conjunction Pluto close at 2.3°
Imagination and intensity in one place, a meeting that comes about once in five hundred years: a feel for how things end and begin again.

Duty and growth competed: what he owed others and where he needed to go called for hard choices.

The Sun opposition Neptune wide at 8.8°
