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 Virgo
The Fixer. Precise, useful and kind.
18°58′
Moon in Virgo
The Moon moved from Virgo into Libra at 5:43 p.m. that day, local time: in Virgo for a birth before then, in Libra for one after.

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 Aries
The direction his life grows in: Aries, bold and direct.
5°24′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
23°33′
Black Moon Lilith in Aries
In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.
4°05′
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.
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 discipline (Saturn in Capricorn) and his intensity (Pluto in Cancer) face each other across the wheel, and his independence (Uranus in Aries) took the strain: the part of him that worked hardest.
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.
Mercury conjunction Neptune almost exact at 0.1°
A poet’s mind: he heard what went unsaid, and his best ideas came from somewhere hard to explain.
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.
Neptune quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.6°
He grew by testing his ideals against real life, again and again.
Mercury quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.7°
His habits of thought needed small, steady changes to fit the way forward.
The Sun conjunction Venus close at 1.2°
Charm came naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things were close to his core.
Venus sextile Pluto close at 1.6°
He loved with depth and loyalty, and the bonds he formed changed both people.
