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 Libra
The Diplomat. Grace, fairness and balance.
2°10′
Moon in Taurus
The Moon moved from Aries into Taurus at 6:39 a.m. that day, local time: in Aries for a birth before then, in Taurus for one after.
2°39′
Mercury in Libra
The Mediator. Both sides of the question.
24°47′
Venus in Libra
The Sweetheart. Grace, romance and balance.
23°01′
Mars in Gemini
The Multitasker. Quick with the comeback.

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.
23°58′
Chiron in Libra
In Libra, Chiron is a soft spot around being chosen and kept, and a gift for making others feel met as equals.
28°21′
Black Moon Lilith in Aries
In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.
21°21′
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 mind and his heart (the Sun, Mercury and Venus) gather in Libra, and that part of life drew his attention first.
Stellium
Three or more planets gathered in one sign or one house, so that part of the chart speaks loudest.
In his chart, his drive, his imagination and his intensity (Mars, Neptune and Pluto) gather in Gemini, 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.
Mars conjunction Neptune almost exact at 0.3°
Action guided by imagination: he moved on instinct and feeling, and he gave his all to a vision.
Mercury trine North Node almost exact at 0.8°
His way with words helped him find his direction, and the right ideas came at the right time.
Venus trine North Node almost exact at 0.9°
Love and friendship moved him forward: the people he cared for helped him find his way.
Mars quincunx Uranus close at 1.2°
Effort and restlessness kept catching each other off guard, and his plans changed at short notice.
Uranus quincunx Neptune close at 1.5°
Sudden change and slow dreams kept adjusting to each other.
