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.

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 Aries
The direction his life grows in: Aries, bold and direct.
1°23′
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.
21°48′
Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Lilith is a free mind that keeps only the beliefs it chose.
19°22′
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 mind, his heart and his discipline (Mercury, Venus and Saturn) gather in Aquarius, 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 optimism (Jupiter in Scorpio) and his intensity (Pluto in Taurus) face each other across the wheel, and his heart (Venus in Aquarius) took the strain: the part of him that worked hardest.

In his chart, his heart and his discipline (Venus and Saturn, together in Aquarius) and his independence (Uranus in Leo) face each other across the wheel, and his intensity (Pluto in Taurus) 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 square Pluto almost exact at 0.5°
Love came with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where he stood.
Jupiter square Saturn close at 1.8°
Growth and caution kept checking each other: he moved forward in bursts, then paused to consolidate.
The Sun sextile Jupiter close at 1.9°
His confidence came easily and spread: he thought big, and other people wanted to come along.
Venus conjunction Saturn close at 2.3°
Serious about love: he gave affection slowly, and once given, it stayed given.
Mars conjunction North Node close at 2.4°
Driven towards his path: he went after the life he wanted with real force.
Mars trine Jupiter close at 2.5°
Big drive and big confidence: he went after large goals, and his enthusiasm carried others along.
