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 Aries, 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 Aries

    The direction his life grows in: Aries, bold and direct.

    20°55′

  • Chiron in Pisces

    In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.

    27°01′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Taurus

    In Taurus, Lilith is an appetite for pleasure that sees no need to apologise.

    15°27′

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

PatternsStellium, T-square
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 optimism, his independence and his intensity (Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto) gather in Virgo, and that part of life drew his attention first.

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 Pisces) and his optimism (Jupiter in Virgo) face each other across the wheel, and his imagination (Neptune in Scorpio) took the strain: the part of him that worked hardest.

Aspects by strength14 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.

  • Mercury opposition Jupiter almost exact at 0.5°

    Big ideas and loose details: he thought on a large scale, and the small print was where things got away from him.

  • Mars opposition Pluto close at 1.2°

    A fierce will: he met opposition head on, and a fight brought out his full strength.

  • Pluto quincunx North Node close at 1.4°

    He kept giving up a little control to keep growing.

  • The Sun sextile North Node close at 1.9°

    The direction his life took suited him: being himself and growing went hand in hand.

  • Uranus sextile Neptune close at 2.2°

    Change and idealism went together: new ideas came wrapped in dreams of a better world.

  • Mars trine Neptune close at 2.9°

    He worked for ideals: his drive came alive for a cause, a role or a dream.

  • The Sun quincunx Pluto wide at 3.3°

    He kept rebuilding himself to fit what life asked, and control was the hardest thing to give up.

  • Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 4.1°

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

  • Venus square North Node wide at 5.0°

    What felt comfortable in love and what helped him grow were different things, and he chose between them more than once.

  • Mars opposition Uranus wide at 5.1°

    Restless and quick to rebel: he pushed against limits, and sudden decisions came with the territory.

  • Mercury square Neptune wide at 5.5°

    Facts and dreams blurred together in his mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details mattered.

  • Jupiter square Neptune wide at 6.0°

    His hopes ran ahead of what was real, and he learned to check a beautiful idea against the facts.

  • Uranus conjunction Pluto wide at 6.3°

    Born into a time of upheaval: he wanted radical change, and wanted it at once.

  • The Sun square Neptune wide at 7.4°

    The self he knew and the image others saw drifted apart at times, and he worked to keep hold of the real one.
