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 Cancer
The Protector. Home, memory and care.
16°52′
Moon in Libra
The Moon moved from Libra into Scorpio at 2:17 p.m. that day, local time: in Libra for a birth before then, in Scorpio for one after.
28°43′
Mercury in Gemini
The Quick Wit. The messenger at home.
27°56′
Venus in Cancerretrograde
The Nurturer. Love that makes a home.

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 Capricorn
The direction his life grows in: Capricorn, ambitious and patient.
29°03′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
26°18′
Black Moon Lilith in Cancer
In Cancer, Lilith is a fierce need to belong, and no wish to look after anyone on command.
16°36′
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 heart, his discipline and his intensity (the Sun, Venus, Saturn and Pluto) gather in Cancer, 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.
Jupiter square Neptune almost exact at 0.2°
His hopes ran ahead of what was real, and he learned to check a beautiful idea against the facts.
The Moon square North Node almost exact at 0.3°
Home comforts and the way forward asked for different things, and growing meant leaving some familiar things behind.
Saturn quincunx Uranus almost exact at 0.8°
When to keep the rules and when to break them took constant deciding.
The Moon trine Mercury almost exact at 0.8°
Feeling and thought spoke the same language: he could put a mood into words, and his words carried feeling.
Mercury quincunx North Node close at 1.1°
His habits of thought needed small, steady changes to fit the way forward.
Jupiter sextile Pluto close at 1.2°
Ambition with depth: he knew how to build influence, and he used it to make big changes.
