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 Gemini
The Messenger. Curious and many-sided.
5°08′
Moon in Libra
The Moon moved from Libra into Scorpio at 5:35 p.m. that day, local time: in Libra for a birth before then, in Scorpio for one after.
26°33′
Mercury in Geminiretrograde

7°39′

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 Virgo
The direction his life grows in: Virgo, precise and helpful.
17°19′
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.
19°38′
Black Moon Lilith in Aries
In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.
26°23′
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 and his drive (the Sun, Mercury and Mars) gather in Gemini, 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.
Uranus opposition North Node exact at 0.0°
The way forward asked for steadiness, and the urge for change kept breaking in.
The Moon trine Mars close at 1.2°
His feelings turned straight into action: when something mattered, he did something about it.
Jupiter trine Pluto close at 1.6°
Ambition with depth: he knew how to build influence, and he used it to make big changes.
Uranus quincunx Neptune close at 1.6°
Sudden change and slow dreams kept adjusting to each other.
Saturn sextile Neptune close at 1.9°
Practical dreams: he gave ideals a shape and worked to make them real.
The Sun conjunction Mercury close at 2.5°
His mind and his identity were close together: he spoke as he thought, and his ideas were part of who he was.
