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 Scorpio
The Detective. Intense, private and loyal.
3°54′
Moon in Aquarius
The Moon moved from Capricorn into Aquarius at 12:58 a.m. that day, local time: in Capricorn for a birth before then, in Aquarius for one after.
5°27′
Mercury in Libra
The Mediator. Both sides of the question.
19°09′
Venus in Virgo
The Quiet Romantic. Love in small attentions.
22°05′
Mars in Sagittarius
The Champion. The long shot.

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 Libra
The direction his life grows in: Libra, graceful and fair.
6°28′
Chiron in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Chiron is the feeling of having grown up too soon, and a gift for showing others how to stand on their own.
17°54′
Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Lilith is the outsider’s streak, at its best when it does not fit in.
9°57′
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 drive and his independence (Mars and Uranus, together in Sagittarius) and his intensity (Pluto in Gemini) face each other across the wheel, and his heart (Venus in Virgo) 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.
Neptune square North Node almost exact at 0.6°
Dreams and the way forward clashed, and growing meant trading some illusions for clear sight.
The Sun square Saturn almost exact at 0.9°
Self-belief came slowly and had to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counted.
Venus square Uranus almost exact at 0.9°
Love came in sudden starts and stops: he fell for people quickly and needed room just as quickly.
The Moon trine North Node close at 1.0°
What comforted him also moved him forward: his instincts pointed the right way.
Mercury trine Pluto close at 1.3°
A probing mind: he got to the bottom of things, and his words had power when he chose to use them.
The Sun square the Moon close at 1.6°
The self he showed the world and the self he came home to wanted different things, and he made room for both.

Venus square Pluto close at 1.6°
Love came with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where he stood.
The Sun trine Neptune close at 2.0°
Imagination and identity worked together: he could become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
The Moon conjunction Saturn close at 2.4°
Self-contained: he kept his feelings in order, and he gave comfort in practical ways rather than in words.
Uranus opposition Pluto close at 2.5°
Upheaval and the urge to break free ran strong, and he pushed for change rather than waiting for it.

Saturn quincunx Neptune close at 2.8°
Duty and dreams kept trading places as the priority.
Saturn trine North Node wide at 3.4°
Discipline helped him grow: patience and hard work kept him on course.
Venus square Mars wide at 3.6°

Mars opposition Pluto wide at 5.3°
A fierce will: he met opposition head on, and a fight brought out his full strength.
Jupiter square Pluto wide at 6.8°
He wanted more power than came easily, and the struggle for it shaped his life.
