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 Pisces
The Dreamer. Gentle, dreamy and deep.
10°45′
Moon in Virgo
The Moon moved from Leo into Virgo at 3:16 a.m. that day, local time: in Leo for a birth before then, in Virgo for one after.
5°33′
Mercury in Aquarius
The Inventor. The original thinker.
21°08′
Venus in Aquarius
The Kindred Spirit. Friend first, lover too.
8°05′
Mars in Aries
The Trailblazer. First through the door.
2°47′

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.
27°30′
Chiron in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Chiron is the feeling of having grown up too soon, and a gift for showing others how to stand on their own.
27°36′
Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Lilith is the outsider’s streak, at its best when it does not fit in.
23°55′
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 discipline (Mercury, Venus and Saturn) gather in Aquarius, and that part of life drew his attention first.
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 independence (Uranus in Sagittarius) and his imagination (Neptune in Cancer) face each other across the wheel, and his drive (Mars in Aries) took the strain: the part of him that worked hardest.

In his chart, his independence (Uranus in Sagittarius) and his imagination (Neptune in Cancer) face each other across the wheel, and his optimism (Jupiter in Aries) took the strain: the part of him that worked 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.
Mars square Neptune almost exact at 0.4°
Drive and dreams mixed uneasily: the goal was clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.
Jupiter square Uranus almost exact at 0.7°
Restless hope: he wanted more freedom than any situation gave, and big changes came suddenly.
Uranus square North Node close at 2.0°
The way forward asked for steadiness, and the urge for change kept breaking in.
Mercury trine Pluto close at 2.5°
A probing mind: he got to the bottom of things, and his words had power when he chose to use them.
Mars conjunction Jupiter close at 2.6°
Enthusiasm at full speed: he charged at life with confidence, and setbacks slowed him only briefly.
Jupiter opposition North Node close at 2.6°
Easy hopes and the harder way forward went different ways, and real growth came from the harder one.
