The chart, fact by fact
Planets

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 Leo
The Bright One. Warm, proud and generous.
26°13′
Moon in Pisces
The Tide. Tender, and stronger than it looks.
8°46′
Mercury in Leo
The Storyteller. A voice that carries.
22°25′

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 Libra
The direction his life grows in: Libra, graceful and fair.
19°11′
Chiron in Aries
In Aries, Chiron is a doubt about the right to go first, and with it a talent for giving others their nerve.
13°31′
Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Lilith is the outsider’s streak, at its best when it does not fit in.
14°39′
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, his drive and his imagination (the Sun, Mercury, Mars and Neptune) gather in Leo, 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.
The Moon conjunction Uranus almost exact at 0.6°
Restless feelings: he felt most at home where things were new.
The Moon trine Pluto almost exact at 0.8°
His feelings ran deep and held steady: he came through hard times with more strength than he went in with.
Uranus trine Pluto close at 1.4°
He could help change things at the root, and upheaval suited him.
Jupiter conjunction Saturn close at 1.9°
Optimism with a plan: his hopes were practical, and he built them slowly into something real.
Mars quincunx Uranus close at 2.4°
Effort and restlessness kept catching each other off guard, and his plans changed at short notice.
Venus square North Node wide at 3.2°
What felt comfortable in love and what helped him grow were different things, and he chose between them more than once.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Mercury sextile North Node wide at 3.2°
His way with words helped him find his direction, and the right ideas came at the right time.
Mars conjunction Neptune wide at 3.5°
Action guided by imagination: he moved on instinct and feeling, and he gave his all to a vision.
The Sun conjunction Mercury wide at 3.8°
His mind and his identity were close together: he spoke as he thought, and his ideas were part of who he was.
Venus conjunction Pluto wide at 6.4°
A deep, private heart: he drew people in and kept some feelings locked away.
Chart signature
What’s this?Close
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.

No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through took deliberate effort.
