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 Capricorn
The Architect. Ambitious, patient and dry.
21°59′
Moon in Taurus
The Moon moved from Aries into Taurus at 10:10 a.m. that day, local time: in Aries for a birth before then, in Taurus for one after.
1°05′
Mercury in Capricorn
The Planner. Foundations first.
20°41′
Venus in Capricorn
The Loyal Partner. Love built to last.
17°50′

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 Capricorn
The direction his life grows in: Capricorn, ambitious and patient.
24°00′
Chiron in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Chiron is the feeling of having grown up too soon, and a gift for showing others how to stand on their own.
22°04′
Black Moon Lilith in Libra
In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.
12°52′
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 heart (the Sun, Mercury and Venus) gather in Capricorn, and that part of life draws 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 identity and his mind (the Sun and Mercury, together in Capricorn) and his independence (Uranus in Cancer) face each other across the wheel, and his imagination (Neptune in Libra) takes the strain: the part of him that works 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 quincunx Jupiter almost exact at 0.1°
His taste and his appetite for more need adjusting: he keeps learning what is enough.
Mercury opposition Uranus almost exact at 0.3°
His mind runs ahead of the conversation: he says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.
Pluto quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.5°
He keeps giving up a little control to keep growing.
The Sun opposition Uranus almost exact at 0.9°
He needs room to be himself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.
The Sun conjunction Mercury close at 1.3°
His mind and his identity are close together: he speaks as he thinks, and his ideas are part of who he is.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.5°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
