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.

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 Cancer
The direction his life grows in: Cancer, protective and caring.
5°01′
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.
28°47′
Black Moon Lilith in Virgo
In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.
29°34′
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 optimism and his independence (the Sun, Mercury, Jupiter and Uranus) gather in Pisces, 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 drive (Mars in Gemini) and his discipline (Saturn in Sagittarius) face each other across the wheel, and his identity (the Sun in Pisces) 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.
Venus sextile Mars almost exact at 0.1°
Charm and desire worked together: he knew what he wanted in love and how to win it.
The Sun conjunction Jupiter almost exact at 0.2°
Optimism at the centre of him: he expected things to go well, and that confidence won people over.
Venus square North Node close at 1.1°
What felt comfortable in love and what helped him grow were different things, and he chose between them more than once.
Mercury conjunction Uranus close at 1.3°
He thought in leaps: brilliant, contrary and quick to get bored with the obvious.
Mercury quincunx Neptune close at 1.8°
Meaning came to him before the words did, and clear speech followed the feeling.
Saturn quincunx North Node close at 2.4°
Responsibility and growth needed steady balancing, and he learned which duties to keep.
