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 Taurus
The Gardener. Steady, sensual and sure.
2°08′
Moon in Virgo
The Moon moved from Virgo into Libra at 12:51 p.m. that day, local time: in Virgo for a birth before then, in Libra for one after.
29°34′
Mercury in Taurus
The Careful Thinker. Slow to decide, sure once decided.
21°40′

The Chaser. Love at first sight.

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.
16°00′
Chiron in Gemini
In Gemini, Chiron is an old fear of not being heard, which becomes a gift for finding the words others lack.
19°51′
Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Lilith is an intensity and a private power that stay unexplained.
22°26′
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 independence (the Sun, Mercury and Uranus) gather in Taurus, 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 optimism (Jupiter in Capricorn) and his intensity (Pluto in Cancer) face each other across the wheel, and his identity (the Sun in Taurus) takes the strain: the part of him that works hardest.
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 Capricorn) and his intensity (Pluto in Cancer) face each other across the wheel, and his heart (Venus in Aries) 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.
Jupiter opposition Pluto exact at 0.0°
He wants more power than comes easily, and the struggle for it shapes his life.
The Moon opposition Saturn almost exact at 0.1°
Feelings come second to duty: he holds himself to a high standard, even in private.
Neptune square North Node almost exact at 0.5°
Dreams and the way forward clash, and growing means trading some illusions for clear sight.
Venus square Jupiter close at 1.8°
He loves too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures run past what one life can use.
Venus square Pluto close at 1.8°
Love comes with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where he stands.
The Sun quincunx Mars close at 3.0°
Aim and action run at different speeds, and he spends real effort keeping them in step.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Saturn trine Pluto wide at 3.2°
Endurance: he can work through hard times, and what he builds survives pressure.
Jupiter sextile Saturn wide at 3.2°
Hope and caution in balance: he dreams big and plans carefully, and both help.
Mercury trine Jupiter wide at 4.8°
A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learns easily, tells a good story and sees the big picture.
Mercury trine Neptune wide at 5.2°
He thinks in pictures and music: his words carry a mood, and his imagination gives his ideas colour.
Mars trine Saturn wide at 5.4°
His drive and his discipline work together easily: he can push hard and keep going.
The Sun square Pluto wide at 5.6°
Nothing about him is halfway: he insists on running his own life, and the struggle makes him formidable.
The Sun square Jupiter wide at 5.6°
He reaches for more than one life can hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
The Sun conjunction Uranus wide at 7.0°
Born original: his identity and his need for freedom are the same thing, and he surprises people, himself included.
The Sun conjunction Venus wide at 7.4°
Charm comes naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things are close to his core.
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 air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through takes deliberate effort.
