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 Gardener. Steady, sensual and sure.
5°42′
Moon in Leo
The Moon moved from Cancer into Leo at 11:44 a.m. that day, local time: in Cancer for a birth before then, in Leo 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 Scorpio
The direction his life grows in: Scorpio, intense and private.
1°15′
Chiron in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.
22°13′
Black Moon Lilith in Aries
In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.
7°19′
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 identity (the Sun in Taurus) and his imagination (Neptune in Scorpio) face each other across the wheel, and his independence (Uranus in Leo) 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 sextile Saturn almost exact at 0.3°
Hope and caution in balance: he dreams big and plans carefully, and both help.
Mars opposition Pluto almost exact at 0.3°
A fierce will: he meets opposition head on, and a fight brings out his full strength.
The Moon square North Node close at 1.1°
Home comforts and the way forward ask for different things, and growing means leaving some familiar things behind.
Pluto sextile North Node close at 1.4°
Deep change helps him forward: each time he starts over, he goes further.
Mars trine North Node close at 1.7°
Courage moves him forward, and each bold step takes him further along his path.
The Sun square Uranus close at 1.9°
He needs room to be himself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.
