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.
1°26′
Moon in Virgo
The Moon moved from Leo into Virgo at 8:08 a.m. that day, local time: in Leo for a birth before then, in Virgo for one after.
2°08′
Mercury in Leo
The Storyteller. A voice that carries.
16°33′

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 Scorpio
The direction his life grows in: Scorpio, intense and private.
29°08′
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.
6°08′
Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Lilith is an intensity and a private power that stay unexplained.
23°49′
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.
Yod
Two planets in easy contact both point awkwardly at a third, which becomes the focus: a talent that takes constant adjusting.
In his chart, his heart (Venus in Virgo) and his drive (Mars in Leo) both point at his independence (Uranus in Aquarius), the part of him that kept needing adjustment and gave his life its focus.
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 conjunction Saturn almost exact at 0.2°
Serious from early on: purpose and duty were one thing to him, and he treated his own life as work to be done well.
The Moon conjunction Saturn almost exact at 0.5°
Self-contained: he kept his feelings in order, and he gave comfort in practical ways rather than in words.
Uranus square North Node almost exact at 0.5°
The way forward asked for steadiness, and the urge for change kept breaking in.
The Sun conjunction the Moon almost exact at 0.7°
Born near a new Moon, so what he wanted and what he needed moved as one: single-minded, and hard to talk out of anything.
The Sun opposition Uranus close at 1.8°
He needed room to be himself, and any rule that fit too tightly got broken.
Mars quincunx Uranus close at 1.9°
Effort and restlessness kept catching each other off guard, and his plans changed at short notice.
