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 Cancer
The Protector. Home, memory and care.
11°48′
Moon in Leo
The Moon moved from Cancer into Leo at 1:40 a.m. that day, local time: in Cancer for a birth before then, in Leo for one after.
5°05′
Mercury in Gemini
The Quick Wit. The messenger at home.
26°44′
Venus in Leo
The Romantic. Grand, generous love.
27°03′
Mars in Aries
The Trailblazer. First through the door.
27°42′

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.
16°10′
Chiron in Leo
In Leo, Chiron is a quiet doubt about deserving the light, and a gift for helping others shine without apology.
27°20′
Black Moon Lilith in Leo
In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.
4°36′
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 mind, his discipline and his independence (Mercury, Saturn and Uranus) gather in Gemini, and that part of life draws his attention first.
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 sextile Venus almost exact at 0.3°
A graceful mind: he speaks kindly and well, and he knows how to say a hard thing gently.
Venus trine Mars almost exact at 0.7°
Charm and desire work together: he knows what he wants in love and how to win it.
Uranus sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.7°
He can help change things at the root, and upheaval suits him.
Mercury sextile Mars close at 1.0°
A quick, direct mind: he makes decisions fast and says what he means.
The Moon conjunction Pluto close at 1.0°
Intense, private feelings: he keeps an inner life few people see, and he guards it well.
Jupiter sextile Neptune close at 1.4°
Faith and imagination together: he believes in people and ideals, and that belief is catching.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Mars quincunx Neptune close at 1.7°
His drive and his imagination speak different languages: he goes after something before he can say what it is.
Mercury square Neptune close at 2.7°
Facts and dreams blur together in his mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details matter.
Mars square Jupiter wide at 3.1°
He takes on more than any one person can, and his boldness runs ahead of his plans.
Saturn sextile North Node wide at 3.3°
Discipline helps him grow: patience and hard work keep him on course.
Jupiter conjunction Pluto wide at 5.3°
Large ambitions and the will to see them through: he works on a grand scale.
Chart signature
What’s this?Close
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.
Elements
Modes
The Moon changed sign that day; it is counted where it stood at noon.
Standing alone: the Sun. It makes no major aspect, so his identity stands apart from the rest of the chart, and others find him hard to read.
