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 Cancer
The Protector. Home, memory and care.
15°28′
Moon in Pisces
The Moon moved from Aquarius into Pisces at 3:57 a.m. that day, local time: in Aquarius for a birth before then, in Pisces for one after.
4°01′
Mercury in Leo
The Storyteller. A voice that carries.
11°16′

The Romantic. Grand, generous love.

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 Aquarius
The direction his life grows in: Aquarius, independent and original.
2°04′
Chiron in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.
27°02′
Black Moon Lilith in Pisces
In Pisces, Lilith is a dreamer who wants no rescuing, with a private world all its own.
17°39′
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, his optimism and his discipline (Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and Saturn) gather in Leo, 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.
Jupiter opposition North Node almost exact at 0.4°
Easy hopes and the harder way forward went different ways, and real growth came from the harder one.
Venus opposition North Node almost exact at 0.7°
What felt comfortable in love and what helped him grow were different things, and he chose between them more than once.
Venus conjunction Jupiter close at 1.1°
A generous heart: love and good company came to him easily, and he shared both.
Mercury sextile Uranus close at 1.2°
A quick, original mind: ideas arrived in flashes, and he saw answers others missed.
Mars sextile Neptune close at 1.7°
He worked for ideals: his drive came alive for a cause, a role or a dream.
Mercury square Pluto close at 1.9°
His words had force: he spoke to persuade, and he kept his own counsel until the right moment.

Love came with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where he stood.
