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 Cancer
The Protector. Home, memory and care.
21°08′
Moon in Libra
The Moon moved from Virgo into Libra at 10:09 a.m. that day, local time: in Virgo for a birth before then, in Libra for one after.
0°55′
Mercury in Leo
The Storyteller. A voice that carries.
9°13′
Venus in Gemini
The Charmer. Love through conversation.
17°42′
Mars in Libra
The Negotiator. A fighter for fairness.

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 Sagittarius
The direction his life grows in: Sagittarius, free and far-ranging.
21°50′
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.
3°27′
Black Moon Lilith in Libra
In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.
8°29′
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 optimism and his intensity (the Sun, Jupiter and Pluto) gather in Cancer, and that part of life drew his attention first.
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 discipline and his imagination (Mercury, Saturn and Neptune) gather in Leo, 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.
The Moon square Jupiter almost exact at 0.7°
His feelings ran large: he wanted more comfort, more company and more of everything than any one day gave.
The Sun quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.7°
The way forward asked him to bend habits that felt like part of who he was.
Mercury sextile Mars close at 1.1°
A quick, direct mind: he made decisions fast and said what he meant.
Mercury conjunction Neptune close at 3.0°
A poet’s mind: he heard what went unsaid, and his best ideas came from somewhere hard to explain.
Venus sextile Saturn wide at 3.2°
Loyal in love: he chose carefully, and what he built with people lasted.
Jupiter trine Uranus wide at 3.2°
Sudden openings: he spotted new chances early and jumped at them.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Mars sextile Neptune wide at 4.1°
He worked for ideals: his drive came alive for a cause, a role or a dream.
Venus opposition North Node wide at 4.1°
What felt comfortable in love and what helped him grow were different things, and he chose between them more than once.
Mars sextile Saturn wide at 4.2°
His drive and his discipline worked together easily: he could push hard and keep going.
Mars square Pluto wide at 4.9°
A fierce will: he met opposition head on, and a fight brought out his full strength.
Jupiter conjunction Pluto wide at 5.2°
Large ambitions and the will to see them through: he worked on a grand scale.
Mercury conjunction Saturn wide at 5.3°
Serious thoughts: he said less than he knew, and what he said held up.
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 earth at all, so the practical, settled side was the one he had to find.
