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 Sagittarius
The Explorer. Honest, free and far-seeing.
9°42′
Moon in Leo
The Moon moved from Leo into Virgo at 7:23 p.m. that day, local time: in Leo for a birth before then, in Virgo for one after.
25°39′
Mercury in Sagittariusretrograde
The Philosopher. The big picture.

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 Libra
The direction his life grows in: Libra, graceful and fair.
28°29′
Chiron in Cancer
In Cancer, Chiron is an early longing to belong somewhere, and a knack for making strangers feel at home.
19°19′
Black Moon Lilith in Pisces
In Pisces, Lilith is a dreamer who wants no rescuing, with a private world all its own.
8°45′
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.
Grand trine
Three planets in an easy triangle, each in flowing contact with the other two: a gift that comes without effort.
In his chart, his mind, his optimism and his intensity (Mercury in Sagittarius, Jupiter in Pisces and Pluto in Leo) make the triangle, so these came to him naturally.
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.
Saturn quincunx Neptune almost exact at 0.3°
Duty and dreams kept trading places as the priority.
Jupiter quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.5°
Some hopes had to be let go to fit the way forward, and he chose which ones.
The Moon trine Saturn almost exact at 0.7°
Steady feelings: he kept calm under strain, and he loved in ways that lasted.
Venus quincunx Pluto almost exact at 0.8°
Affection and the need for control kept getting in each other’s way, and trust took him time.
The Sun square Mars close at 1.2°
He fought hard for what he wanted, and his temper was part of his courage.
Mercury trine Jupiter close at 1.5°
A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learned easily, told a good story and saw the big picture.

Mercury trine Pluto close at 2.2°
A probing mind: he got to the bottom of things, and his words had power when he chose to use them.
Venus square Jupiter close at 3.0°
He loved too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures ran past what one life could use.
Venus sextile North Node wide at 3.5°
Love and friendship moved him forward: the people he cared for helped him find his way.
Saturn opposition North Node wide at 3.5°
Duty and growth competed: what he owed others and where he needed to go called for hard choices.
Jupiter opposition Neptune wide at 3.6°
His hopes ran ahead of what was real, and he learned to check a beautiful idea against the facts.
Jupiter trine Pluto wide at 3.8°
Ambition with depth: he knew how to build influence, and he used it to make big changes.
Pluto square North Node wide at 4.2°
Old attachments held him back from the way forward, and he grew by letting some things go.
Uranus trine Neptune wide at 6.2°
Change and idealism went together: new ideas came wrapped in dreams of a better world.
The Sun trine Pluto wide at 7.0°
A quiet strength: under pressure he grew more focused, and he knew how to start over.
Chart signature
What’s this?Close
The chart’s balance at a glance: which of the four elements and three modes it leans on, which body is most connected, and any body standing alone.
Elements
Modes
The Moon changed sign that day; it is counted where it stood at noon.
No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through took deliberate effort.
