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.

Beyond the planetsNorth Node in Virgo, Chiron and Lilith
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 Virgo

    The direction his life grows in: Virgo, precise and helpful.

    23°41′

  • Chiron in Taurus

    In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.

    6°00′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Leo

    In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.

    5°28′

The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.

PatternsStellium
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 feelings, his mind, his drive and his imagination (the Sun, the Moon, Mercury, Mars and Neptune) gather in Sagittarius, and that part of life draws his attention first.

Aspects by strength17 between the planets, the closest first
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 Saturn almost exact at 0.2°

    Feelings come second to duty: he holds himself to a high standard, even in private.

  • Neptune sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.8°

    A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.

  • The Sun trine Jupiter almost exact at 0.8°

    His confidence comes easily and spreads: he thinks big, and other people want to come along.

  • Mercury sextile Pluto close at 1.1°

    A probing mind: he gets to the bottom of things, and his words have power when he chooses to use them.

  • Mercury conjunction Mars close at 1.4°

    He thinks fast and speaks faster: his mind likes a contest, and his words have an edge.

  • Venus square Jupiter close at 1.6°

    He loves too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures run past what one life can use.

  • Mercury conjunction Neptune close at 1.9°

    A poet’s mind: he hears what goes unsaid, and his best ideas come from somewhere hard to explain.

  • Mars sextile Pluto close at 2.6°

    Stamina and willpower: he keeps going long after others stop, and he does his best work under pressure.

  • Mars square North Node close at 2.7°

    Old fights and the way forward disagree, and he grows by choosing which battles matter.

  • Mars conjunction Neptune wide at 3.3°

    Action guided by imagination: he moves on instinct and feeling, and he gives his all to a vision.

  • Mercury square North Node wide at 4.1°

    Old ideas and the way forward are at odds, and he learns new ways of thinking to move on.

  • Saturn square Neptune wide at 4.3°

    The dream and the hard work seldom agree on terms: his discipline and his imagination ask different things of him.

  • Saturn sextile Uranus wide at 4.6°

    Old and new sit well together: he can change things without throwing out what works.

  • The Sun square Saturn wide at 5.2°

    Self-belief comes slowly and has to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counts.

  • Neptune square North Node wide at 6.0°

    Dreams and the way forward clash, and growing means trading some illusions for clear sight.

  • Mercury square Saturn wide at 6.2°

    He doubts his own ideas before anyone else can, and so he checks every one twice.

  • The Sun conjunction Neptune wide at 9.5°

    He takes in moods, music and other people’s hopes, and gives them back as something new.
