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 Virgo
The Fixer. Precise, useful and kind.
17°28′
Moon in Scorpio
The Moon moved from Libra into Scorpio at 12:20 a.m. that day, local time: in Libra for a birth before then, in Scorpio for one after.
6°08′
Mercury in Virgoretrograde

4°29′

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 Gemini
The direction his life grows in: Gemini, curious and quick-witted.
28°24′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
16°24′
Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Lilith is a free mind that keeps only the beliefs it chose.
26°39′
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, his independence and his intensity (the Sun, Mercury, Uranus and Pluto) gather in Virgo, and that part of life draws 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.
Mars sextile Jupiter almost exact at 0.8°
Big drive and big confidence: he goes after large goals, and his enthusiasm carries others along.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.5°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Venus quincunx Saturn close at 1.6°
He keeps weighing pleasure against duty, and joy comes once the work is done.
The Sun sextile Neptune close at 1.9°
Imagination and identity work together: he can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
Saturn trine North Node close at 2.0°
Discipline helps him grow: patience and hard work keep him on course.
Uranus conjunction Pluto wide at 3.2°
Born into a time of upheaval: he wants radical change, and wants it at once.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
The Sun conjunction Pluto wide at 3.4°
Intensity at the centre: he wants the whole truth about everything, himself first, and he remakes himself more than once to reach it.
Mercury opposition Saturn wide at 4.0°
He doubts his own ideas before anyone else can, and so he checks every one twice.
Jupiter square Saturn wide at 4.4°
Growth and caution keep checking each other: he moves forward in bursts, then pauses to consolidate.
Uranus sextile Neptune wide at 4.7°
Change and idealism go together: new ideas come wrapped in dreams of a better world.
Venus conjunction Mars wide at 5.2°
Magnetic: affection and desire come together in him, and people notice.
Mercury conjunction Uranus wide at 6.4°
He thinks in leaps: brilliant, contrary and quick to get bored with the obvious.
The Sun conjunction Uranus wide at 6.6°
Born original: his identity and his need for freedom are the same thing, and he surprises people, himself included.
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.

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 takes deliberate effort.
