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 Sagittarius 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 Sagittarius

    The direction his life grows in: Sagittarius, free and far-ranging.

    0°51′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn

    In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.

    21°15′

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

PatternsStellium, T-square, Grand trine, Grand trine
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 imagination (the Sun, Mercury and Neptune) 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 drive (Mars in Gemini) and his optimism (Jupiter in Sagittarius) face each other across the wheel, and his mind (Mercury in Virgo) took the strain: the part of him that worked hardest.

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 mind, his independence and his intensity (Mercury in Virgo, Uranus in Taurus and Pluto in Capricorn) make the triangle, so these came to him naturally.

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 independence, his imagination and his intensity (Uranus in Taurus, Neptune in Virgo and Pluto in Capricorn) make the triangle, so these came to him naturally.

Aspects by strength23 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.

  • Uranus trine Pluto almost exact at 0.3°

    He could help change things at the root, and upheaval suited him.

  • Jupiter quincunx Uranus almost exact at 0.8°

    His hopes and his restlessness kept changing places, and he redrew his plans more than once.

  • Mercury square Jupiter close at 1.0°

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

  • Mars sextile Saturn close at 1.1°

    His drive and his discipline worked together easily: he could push hard and keep going.

  • Mercury trine Pluto close at 1.5°

    A probing mind: he got to the bottom of things, and his words had power when he chose to use them.

  • Mercury trine Uranus close at 1.8°

    A quick, original mind: ideas arrived in flashes, and he saw answers others missed.

  • Venus square Pluto close at 2.4°

    Love came with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where he stood.

    A poet’s mind: he heard what went unsaid, and his best ideas came from somewhere hard to explain.

  • Mars square Neptune close at 2.8°

    Drive and dreams mixed uneasily: the goal was clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.

  • The Sun square North Node wide at 3.3°

    Being himself and growing asked for different things, and his biggest steps forward came when he stretched past his habits.

  • Neptune trine Pluto wide at 4.1°

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

  • Jupiter trine Saturn wide at 5.3°

    Hope and caution in balance: he dreamed big and planned carefully, and both helped.

  • Mercury square Mars wide at 5.5°

    Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argued well, sometimes too well, and a debate was a kind of sport to him.

  • Saturn square Uranus wide at 6.1°

    Tradition and rebellion fought in him: he wanted security and freedom, and could rarely have both at once.

  • Mars opposition Jupiter wide at 6.5°
