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.

Beyond the planetsNorth Node in Aquarius, Chiron and Lilith
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.

    19°19′

  • Chiron in Taurus

    In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.

    28°51′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Cancer

    In Cancer, Lilith is a fierce need to belong, and no wish to look after anyone on command.

    11°54′

The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.

PatternsStellium
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 Aquarius, and that part of life drew his attention first.

Aspects by strength18 between the planets, the closest first
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 square Pluto exact at 0.0°

    He wanted more power than came easily, and the struggle for it shaped his life.

  • Jupiter opposition Uranus almost exact at 0.8°

    Restless hope: he wanted more freedom than any situation gave, and big changes came suddenly.

  • Uranus square Pluto almost exact at 0.8°

    Upheaval and the urge to break free ran strong, and he pushed for change rather than waiting for it.

  • Saturn conjunction North Node almost exact at 0.8°

    A serious path: growing asked for patience, and he gave it.

  • The Sun conjunction Venus almost exact at 0.9°

    Charm came naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things were close to his core.

  • The Moon opposition Uranus close at 1.9°

    His moods changed without warning, and he wanted closeness and room to breathe at the same time.
