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.

    12°40′

  • Chiron in Gemini

    In Gemini, Chiron is an old fear of not being heard, which becomes a gift for finding the words others lack.

    4°22′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Cancer

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

    24°13′

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

Aspects by strength12 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.

  • Venus square Pluto almost exact at 0.4°

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

  • Jupiter trine North Node almost exact at 0.9°

    Hope helped him grow: faith in what was possible kept him moving forward.

  • Saturn sextile Uranus close at 1.5°

    Old and new sat well together: he could change things without throwing out what worked.

  • Mercury sextile Venus close at 1.6°

    A graceful mind: he spoke kindly and well, and he knew how to say a hard thing gently.

  • Mars square Saturn close at 2.4°

    Drive with the brakes on: he wanted to move, something held him back, and the friction made him tough.

  • Mars sextile Pluto close at 2.6°

    Stamina and willpower: he kept going long after others stopped, and he did his best work under pressure.

  • The Sun square Neptune wide at 4.0°

    The self he knew and the image others saw drifted apart at times, and he worked to keep hold of the real one.

  • Venus conjunction Uranus wide at 6.0°

    Love at first sight, and freedom after it: the different and the new won his heart.

  • Uranus square Pluto wide at 6.5°

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

  • The Sun trine North Node wide at 7.0°

    The direction his life took suited him: being himself and growing went hand in hand.

  • The Sun square Saturn wide at 7.6°

    Self-belief came slowly and had to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counted.

  • The Sun trine Jupiter wide at 7.9°

    His confidence came easily and spread: he thought big, and other people wanted to come along.
