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.
0°55′
Moon in Libra
The Moon moved from Libra into Scorpio at 3:16 p.m. that day, local time: in Libra for a birth before then, in Scorpio for one after.
28°14′
Mercury in Taurus
The Careful Thinker. Slow to decide, sure once decided.
20°10′
Venus in Taurus
The Keeper. Slow, sensual and loyal.

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 Pisces
The direction his life grows in: Pisces, dreamy and compassionate.
10°49′
Chiron in Aries
In Aries, Chiron is a doubt about the right to go first, and with it a talent for giving others their nerve.
7°44′
Black Moon Lilith in Leo
In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.
15°03′
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 discipline (the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Saturn) gather in Taurus, 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.
Saturn sextile North Node almost exact at 0.2°
Discipline helped him grow: patience and hard work kept him on course.
The Sun opposition Jupiter almost exact at 0.2°
He reached for more than one life could hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
The Sun quincunx Neptune almost exact at 0.6°
He kept redrawing the line between the life he had and the life he imagined.
Mars quincunx Jupiter almost exact at 0.7°
Drive and hope kept going in slightly different directions, and he aimed again and again.
Mars opposition Neptune close at 1.6°
Drive and dreams mixed uneasily: the goal was clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.
Mercury conjunction Venus close at 2.0°
Words with charm in them: he had an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people liked listening to him.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
The Sun opposition the Moon close at 2.7°
The self he showed the world and the self he came home to wanted different things, and he made room for both.
The Moon conjunction Jupiter close at 2.9°
Big feelings and a big heart: his good moods lifted everyone near, and he gave comfort freely.
Venus trine Pluto close at 3.0°
He loved with depth and loyalty, and the bonds he formed changed both people.
Mars trine Uranus wide at 3.9°
Quick and inventive in action: he moved fast, broke with habit and made sudden changes work.
Mercury trine Pluto wide at 5.0°
A probing mind: he got to the bottom of things, and his words had power when he chose to use them.
