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 Gardener. Steady, sensual and sure.
16°30′
Moon in Capricorn
The Moon moved from Sagittarius into Capricorn at 9:54 a.m. that day, local time: in Sagittarius for a birth before then, in Capricorn for one after.
1°05′
Mercury in Taurus
The Careful Thinker. Slow to decide, sure once decided.
8°25′
Venus in Taurus
The Keeper. Slow, sensual and loyal.

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 Scorpio
The direction his life grows in: Scorpio, intense and private.
22°34′
Chiron in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Chiron is the feeling of having grown up too soon, and a gift for showing others how to stand on their own.
5°04′
Black Moon Lilith in Libra
In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.
29°16′
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.
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 mind and his heart (the Sun, Mercury and Venus) gather in Taurus, and that part of life drew his attention first.
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.
Saturn quincunx Pluto almost exact at 0.2°
He kept adjusting between control and acceptance, and learned where each belonged.
The Sun trine Saturn almost exact at 0.2°
Purpose and patience worked as a team: he built slowly and got better with every year.
Uranus opposition Pluto almost exact at 0.4°
Upheaval and the urge to break free ran strong, and he pushed for change rather than waiting for it.
The Sun quincunx Uranus almost exact at 0.5°
His restlessness kept testing his plans, so he changed course more than once to stay true to himself.
Mars sextile Neptune close at 1.5°
He worked for ideals: his drive came alive for a cause, a role or a dream.
The Sun conjunction Venus close at 1.8°
Charm came naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things were close to his core.

The chart’s balance at a glance: which of the four elements and three modes it leans on, which body is most connected, and any body standing alone.

Modes
The Moon changed sign that day; it is counted where it stood at noon.
No water at all, so feelings came out in actions more than in words.
