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 Sagittarius
The Explorer. Honest, free and far-seeing.
9°40′
Moon in Pisces
The Tide. Tender, and stronger than it looks.
16°12′

The Investigator. Hears what was left out.

The Devotee. All or nothing.

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 Gemini
The direction his life grows in: Gemini, curious and quick-witted.
11°45′
Chiron in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Chiron is a wariness about trust that runs deep, and the strength to stay close when others are at their lowest.
2°58′
Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Lilith is a free mind that keeps only the beliefs it chose.
23°24′
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 heart and his optimism (Mercury, Venus and Jupiter) gather in Scorpio, and that part of life drew 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.
The Sun sextile Neptune almost exact at 0.7°
Imagination and identity worked together: he could become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
The Sun trine Saturn almost exact at 0.9°
Purpose and patience worked as a team: he built slowly and got better with every year.
Mercury quincunx Uranus close at 1.1°
Ordinary logic and sudden insight needed constant translating, and he spent time explaining how he got there.
Jupiter square Pluto close at 1.3°
He wanted more power than came easily, and the struggle for it shaped his life.
Mars opposition Uranus close at 1.4°
Restless and quick to rebel: he pushed against limits, and sudden decisions came with the territory.
Neptune trine North Node close at 1.4°
Imagination helped him forward, through art, ideals and care for others.
