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 Leo
The Bright One. Warm, proud and generous.
16°32′
Moon in Aquarius
The Moon moved from Aquarius into Pisces at 9:46 p.m. that day, local time: in Aquarius for a birth before then, in Pisces for one after.
24°23′
Mercury in Leo
The Storyteller. A voice that carries.
18°17′
Venus in Virgo

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.
10°55′
Chiron in Aries
In Aries, Chiron is a doubt about the right to go first, and with it a talent for giving others their nerve.
2°53′
Black Moon Lilith in Gemini
In Gemini, Lilith is the quick tongue that says out loud what the room only thinks.
5°44′
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 independence (Uranus in Virgo) and his imagination (Neptune in Scorpio) both point at his discipline (Saturn in Aries), the part of him that keeps needing adjustment and gives 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.
The Moon square Neptune almost exact at 0.6°
His feelings and his imagination pull in different directions: he lives between what is real and what he longs for.
Jupiter quincunx North Node close at 1.1°
Some hopes have to be let go to fit the way forward, and he chooses which ones.
Saturn quincunx Uranus close at 1.4°
When to keep the rules and when to break them takes constant deciding.
The Sun conjunction Mercury close at 1.7°
His mind and his identity are close together: he speaks as he thinks, and his ideas are part of who he is.
Saturn quincunx Neptune close at 1.8°
Duty and dreams keep trading places as the priority.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 2.4°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.

The Sun square Neptune wide at 7.2°
The self he knows and the image others see drift apart at times, and he works to keep hold of the real one.
