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 Sun moved from Aries into Taurus at 4:20 a.m. that day, local time: in Aries for a birth before then, in Taurus for one after.
0°19′
Moon in Virgo
The Moon moved from Leo into Virgo at 12:16 a.m. that day, local time: in Leo for a birth before then, in Virgo 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 Sagittarius
The direction his life grows in: Sagittarius, free and far-ranging.
16°13′
Chiron in Gemini
In Gemini, Chiron is an old fear of not being heard, which becomes a gift for finding the words others lack.
19°44′
Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Lilith is an intensity and a private power that stay unexplained.
22°14′
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 optimism (Jupiter in Capricorn) and his intensity (Pluto in Cancer) face each other across the wheel, and his identity (the Sun in Taurus) takes the strain: the part of him that works hardest.
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 optimism (Jupiter in Capricorn) and his intensity (Pluto in Cancer) face each other across the wheel, and his heart (Venus in Aries) takes the strain: the part of him that works 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.
Jupiter opposition Pluto almost exact at 0.1°
He wants more power than comes easily, and the struggle for it shapes his life.
Neptune square North Node almost exact at 0.3°
Dreams and the way forward clash, and growing means trading some illusions for clear sight.
Venus square Jupiter almost exact at 0.5°
He loves too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures run past what one life can use.
Venus square Pluto almost exact at 0.7°
Love comes with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where he stands.
The Moon square Mars almost exact at 0.9°
Quick feelings and a quick temper: he reacts first, and his courage comes from the same place as his flashes of anger.
Saturn trine Pluto close at 3.0°
Endurance: he can work through hard times, and what he builds survives pressure.

Jupiter sextile Saturn wide at 3.1°
Hope and caution in balance: he dreams big and plans carefully, and both help.
Mercury trine Neptune wide at 3.6°
He thinks in pictures and music: his words carry a mood, and his imagination gives his ideas colour.
The Sun square Pluto wide at 3.8°
Nothing about him is halfway: he insists on running his own life, and the struggle makes him formidable.
The Sun square Jupiter wide at 3.9°
He reaches for more than one life can hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
The Sun conjunction Venus wide at 4.5°
Charm comes naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things are close to his core.
Mars trine Saturn wide at 5.8°
His drive and his discipline work together easily: he can push hard and keep going.
Mercury trine Jupiter wide at 6.2°
A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learns easily, tells a good story and sees the big picture.
The Sun conjunction Uranus wide at 8.7°
Born original: his identity and his need for freedom are the same thing, and he surprises people, himself included.

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.

The Moon changed sign that day; it is counted where it stood at noon.
No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through takes deliberate effort.
