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.
10°45′
Moon in Libra
The Moon moved from Libra into Scorpio at 3:12 p.m. that day, local time: in Libra for a birth before then, in Scorpio for one after.
28°25′

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 Capricorn
The direction his life grows in: Capricorn, ambitious and patient.
3°40′
Chiron in Gemini
In Gemini, Chiron is an old fear of not being heard, which becomes a gift for finding the words others lack.
16°24′
Black Moon Lilith in Libra
In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.
16°09′
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.
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, his heart and his drive (the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars) gather in Gemini, and that part of life draws 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 discipline (Saturn in Pisces) and his imagination (Neptune in Virgo) face each other across the wheel, and his optimism (Jupiter in Sagittarius) 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.
Venus quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.5°
He keeps adjusting what he wants from people to fit the life he is growing into.
Mars square Neptune almost exact at 0.7°
Drive and dreams mix uneasily: the goal is clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.
Jupiter square Saturn almost exact at 0.9°
Growth and caution keep checking each other: he moves forward in bursts, then pauses to consolidate.
The Sun conjunction Mercury close at 1.4°
His mind and his identity are close together: he speaks as he thinks, and his ideas are part of who he is.
The Sun conjunction Mars close at 2.6°
Purpose and drive in one place: he is quick to start, quick to compete and hard to stop.
The Moon square Pluto close at 2.7°
He loves hard and holds on hard, and letting go takes him a long time.

The Sun square Neptune wide at 3.2°
The self he knows and the image others see drift apart at times, and he works to keep hold of the real one.
Uranus trine North Node wide at 3.8°
Change helps him forward: he grows by trying the new.
Mercury conjunction Mars wide at 4.0°
He thinks fast and speaks faster: his mind likes a contest, and his words have an edge.
Saturn trine Pluto wide at 4.1°
Endurance: he can work through hard times, and what he builds survives pressure.
Mercury square Neptune wide at 4.7°
Facts and dreams blur together in his mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details matter.
Mercury conjunction Venus wide at 6.2°
Words with charm in them: he has an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people like listening to him.
Uranus trine Neptune wide at 6.5°
Change and idealism go together: new ideas come wrapped in dreams of a better world.
Jupiter square Neptune wide at 6.7°
His hopes run ahead of what is real, and he learns to check a beautiful idea against the facts.
Mars opposition Jupiter wide at 7.4°
He takes on more than any one person can, and his boldness runs ahead of his plans.
The Sun conjunction Venus wide at 7.6°
Charm comes naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things are close to his core.
Saturn opposition Neptune wide at 7.7°
The dream and the hard work seldom agree on terms: his discipline and his imagination ask different things of him.
