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 Aquarius
The Free Thinker. Original, free and humane.
12°09′
Moon in Pisces
The Tide. Tender, and stronger than it looks.
19°48′
Mercury in Aquarius
Mercury moved from Aquarius into Pisces at 9:21 p.m. that day, local time: in Aquarius for a birth before then, in Pisces for one after.
29°48′
Venus in Capricorn
The Loyal Partner. Love built to last.
12°51′
Mars in Aries
The Trailblazer. First through the door.

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 Cancer
The direction his life grows in: Cancer, protective and caring.
1°00′
Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.
16°47′
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 identity (the Sun in Aquarius) and his drive (Mars in Aries) both point at his independence (Uranus in Virgo), the part of him that kept needing adjustment and gave his life its focus.

In his chart, his independence (Uranus in Virgo) and his imagination (Neptune in Scorpio) both point at his drive (Mars in Aries), 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 Sun quincunx Uranus almost exact at 0.3°
His restlessness kept testing his plans, so he changed course more than once to stay true to himself.
Mars quincunx Neptune almost exact at 0.5°
His drive and his imagination spoke different languages: he went after something before he could say what it was.
Venus trine Uranus almost exact at 0.9°
He loved the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.
Mercury trine North Node close at 1.2°
His way with words helped him find his direction, and the right ideas came at the right time.
Uranus sextile Neptune close at 1.2°
Change and idealism went together: new ideas came wrapped in dreams of a better world.
The Sun square Neptune close at 1.5°
The self he knew and the image others saw drifted apart at times, and he worked to keep hold of the real one.
