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 Capricorn
The Architect. Ambitious, patient and dry.
17°33′
Moon in Pisces
The Moon moved from Aquarius into Pisces at 1:18 a.m. that day, local time: in Aquarius for a birth before then, in Pisces for one after.
6°34′
Mercury in Capricorn
The Planner. Foundations first.
22°49′
Venus in Capricorn
Venus moved from Capricorn into Aquarius at 4:44 p.m. that day, local time: in Capricorn for a birth before then, in Aquarius for one after.

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 Aquarius
The direction his life grows in: Aquarius, independent and original.
1°08′
Chiron in Gemini
In Gemini, Chiron is an old fear of not being heard, which becomes a gift for finding the words others lack.
5°15′
Black Moon Lilith in Leo
In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.
19°16′
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.
T-square
Two planets pull against each other, and a third stands at right angles to both, where the strain gathers.
In his chart, his mind and his heart (Mercury and Venus, together in Capricorn) and his intensity (Pluto in Cancer) face each other across the wheel, and his independence (Uranus in Aries) took the strain: the part of him that worked hardest.
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 sextile Jupiter almost exact at 0.6°
His confidence came easily and spread: he thought big, and other people wanted to come along.
Saturn quincunx Pluto almost exact at 0.7°
He kept adjusting between control and acceptance, and learned where each belonged.
Venus conjunction North Node close at 1.4°
Following his heart was following his path: the people and pleasures he loved led him forward.
Saturn sextile Uranus close at 1.7°
Old and new sat well together: he could change things without throwing out what worked.
Venus square Uranus close at 2.2°
Love came in sudden starts and stops: he fell for people quickly and needed room just as quickly.
Mercury opposition Pluto close at 2.3°
His words had force: he spoke to persuade, and he kept his own counsel until the right moment.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Uranus square Pluto close at 2.4°
Upheaval and the urge to break free ran strong, and he pushed for change rather than waiting for it.
The Sun trine Neptune wide at 3.1°
Imagination and identity worked together: he could become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
Uranus square North Node wide at 3.6°
The way forward asked for steadiness, and the urge for change kept breaking in.
Jupiter sextile Neptune wide at 3.7°
Faith and imagination together: he believed in people and ideals, and that belief was catching.
The Sun square Mars wide at 4.6°
He fought hard for what he wanted, and his temper was part of his courage.
Venus opposition Pluto wide at 4.6°
Love came with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where he stood.
Mercury square Uranus wide at 4.7°
His mind ran ahead of the conversation: he said the unexpected thing, and not everyone was ready to hear it.
The Sun conjunction Mercury wide at 5.3°
His mind and his identity were close together: he spoke as he thought, and his ideas were part of who he was.
Pluto opposition North Node wide at 6.0°
Old attachments held him back from the way forward, and he grew by letting some things go.
Mercury conjunction Venus wide at 6.9°
Words with charm in them: he had an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people liked listening to him.
The Sun opposition Pluto wide at 7.6°
Nothing about him was halfway: he insisted on running his own life, and the struggle made him formidable.
