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.

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 Virgo
The direction his life grows in: Virgo, precise and helpful.
12°03′
Chiron in Leo
In Leo, Chiron is a quiet doubt about deserving the light, and a gift for helping others shine without apology.
8°22′
Black Moon Lilith in Gemini
In Gemini, Lilith is the quick tongue that says out loud what the room only thinks.
15°45′
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 discipline and his independence (the Sun, Mercury, Saturn and Uranus) gather in Taurus, 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.
Mars square Neptune exact at 0.0°
Drive and dreams mix uneasily: the goal is clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.
Saturn trine Neptune almost exact at 0.3°
Practical dreams: he gives ideals a shape and works to make them real.
Mercury square Pluto almost exact at 0.5°
His words have force: he speaks to persuade, and he keeps his own counsel until the right moment.
Saturn conjunction Uranus almost exact at 0.8°
Disciplined originality: he builds new things on solid foundations.
Uranus trine Neptune close at 1.1°
Change and idealism go together: new ideas come wrapped in dreams of a better world.
The Moon trine Venus close at 1.2°
He puts people at ease without trying: kindness and charm come from the same place.

The Sun square Pluto close at 1.8°
Nothing about him is halfway: he insists on running his own life, and the struggle makes him formidable.
The Sun conjunction Mercury close at 2.3°
His mind and his identity are close together: he speaks as he thinks, and his ideas are part of who he is.
Venus opposition North Node wide at 3.5°
What feels comfortable in love and what helps him grow are different things, and he chooses between them more than once.
The Sun sextile Mars wide at 4.0°
His purpose and his drive work together: once he decides on something, he moves on it fast.
The Sun quincunx Neptune wide at 4.0°
He keeps redrawing the line between the life he has and the life he imagines.
Venus square Jupiter wide at 4.1°
He loves too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures run past what one life can use.
Uranus sextile Pluto wide at 4.8°
He can help change things at the root, and upheaval suits him.
