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 Gemini
The Messenger. Curious and many-sided.
21°22′
Moon in Libra
The Peacemaker. Needing harmony.
18°05′
Mercury in Taurus
Mercury moved from Taurus into Gemini at 9:42 p.m. that day, local time: in Taurus for a birth before then, in Gemini for one after.
29°25′
Venus in Cancerretrograde
The Nurturer. Love that makes a home.
17°27′
Mars in Aquarius
The Rebel. Rebel with a cause.

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 Leo
The direction his life grows in: Leo, warm and dramatic.
25°14′
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.
23°47′
Black Moon Lilith in Gemini
In Gemini, Lilith is the quick tongue that says out loud what the room only thinks.
9°07′
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 discipline (the Sun in Gemini, Mars in Aquarius and Saturn in Libra) make the triangle, so these came to him naturally.
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 Sun square Uranus almost exact at 0.1°
He needed room to be himself, and any rule that fit too tightly got broken.
Mars opposition North Node almost exact at 0.2°
Old fights and the way forward disagreed, and he grew by choosing which battles mattered.
Mars trine Saturn almost exact at 0.4°
His drive and his discipline worked together easily: he could push hard and keep going.
Saturn sextile North Node almost exact at 0.6°
Discipline helped him grow: patience and hard work kept him on course.
The Moon square Venus almost exact at 0.6°
What comforted him and what he loved were different things, so his heart and his moods kept negotiating.
Jupiter quincunx Pluto close at 2.8°
The bigger the stakes grew, the more he had to rethink his aims.

The Sun sextile Neptune wide at 3.2°
Imagination and identity worked together: he could become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
The Sun sextile North Node wide at 3.9°
The direction his life took suited him: being himself and growing went hand in hand.
Jupiter trine Neptune wide at 3.9°
Faith and imagination together: he believed in people and ideals, and that belief was catching.
Mercury square Mars wide at 4.0°
Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argued well, sometimes too well, and a debate was a kind of sport to him.
Venus trine Uranus wide at 4.0°
He loved the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.
The Sun trine Mars wide at 4.1°
His purpose and his drive worked together: once he decided on something, he moved on it fast.
Mercury square North Node wide at 4.2°
Old ideas and the way forward were at odds, and he learned new ways of thinking to move on.
The Sun trine Saturn wide at 4.5°
Purpose and patience worked as a team: he built slowly and got better with every year.
Venus conjunction Pluto wide at 6.1°
A deep, private heart: he drew people in and kept some feelings locked away.
Neptune conjunction North Node wide at 7.1°
A path lit by imagination: he followed a vision more than a plan.
The Sun opposition Jupiter wide at 7.2°
He reached for more than one life could hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
Mars opposition Neptune wide at 7.3°
Drive and dreams mixed uneasily: the goal was clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.
