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 Taurus
The Sun moved from Aries into Taurus at 7:27 a.m. that day, local time: in Aries for a birth before then, in Taurus for one after.

Moon in Gemini
The Talker. Feeling by talking.

The Careful Thinker. Slow to decide, sure once decided.

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 Pisces
The direction his life grows in: Pisces, dreamy and compassionate.
29°54′
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.
4°24′
Black Moon Lilith in Cancer
In Cancer, Lilith is a fierce need to belong, and no wish to look after anyone on command.
4°12′
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 optimism (Jupiter in Virgo) and his imagination (Neptune in Scorpio) both point at his identity (the Sun in Taurus), the part of him that kept needing adjustment and gave 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 sextile Venus almost exact at 0.2°
He put people at ease without trying: kindness and charm came from the same place.
Jupiter sextile Neptune almost exact at 0.4°
Faith and imagination together: he believed in people and ideals, and that belief was catching.
The Sun quincunx Uranus almost exact at 0.6°
His restlessness kept testing his plans, so he changed course more than once to stay true to himself.
Saturn quincunx Neptune almost exact at 0.7°
Duty and dreams kept trading places as the priority.
Uranus opposition North Node almost exact at 0.9°
The way forward asked for steadiness, and the urge for change kept breaking in.
Jupiter quincunx Saturn close at 1.1°
When to expand and when to hold back took constant rethinking.
