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 Capricorn
The Architect. Ambitious, patient and dry.
24°28′
Moon in Aquarius
The Moon moved from Aquarius into Pisces at 2:54 p.m. that day, local time: in Aquarius for a birth before then, in Pisces for one after.
28°13′
Mercury in Capricorn
The Planner. Foundations first.
3°33′
Venus in Aquarius
The Kindred Spirit. Friend first, lover too.
28°02′

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 Capricorn
The direction his life grows in: Capricorn, ambitious and patient.
1°23′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
26°06′
Black Moon Lilith in Virgo
In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.
18°19′
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.
Grand trine
Three planets in an easy triangle, each in flowing contact with the other two: a gift that comes without effort.
In his chart, his identity, his drive and his optimism (the Sun in Capricorn, Mars in Libra and Jupiter in Gemini) make the triangle, so these came to him naturally.
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 mind (Mercury in Capricorn) and his intensity (Pluto in Cancer) face each other across the wheel, and his drive (Mars in Libra) took the strain: the part of him that worked hardest.
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 Gemini) and his imagination (Neptune in Leo) both point at his mind (Mercury in Capricorn), 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 conjunction Venus almost exact at 0.2°
Tenderness through and through: he needed beauty and affection the way others needed air.
Jupiter quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.3°
Some hopes had to be let go to fit the way forward, and he chose which ones.
Mars square North Node almost exact at 0.5°
Old fights and the way forward disagreed, and he grew by choosing which battles mattered.
Mercury opposition Pluto almost exact at 0.5°
His words had force: he spoke to persuade, and he kept his own counsel until the right moment.
Mars trine Jupiter almost exact at 0.8°
Big drive and big confidence: he went after large goals, and his enthusiasm carried others along.
Mercury quincunx Jupiter close at 1.9°
The facts and the bigger picture needed constant reconciling, and he kept checking one against the other.
