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 Sagittarius
The Explorer. Honest, free and far-seeing.
7°05′
Moon in Sagittarius
The Moon moved from Sagittarius into Capricorn at 3:17 p.m. that day, local time: in Sagittarius for a birth before then, in Capricorn for one after.
27°57′
Mercury in Sagittariusretrograde

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 Pisces
The direction his life grows in: Pisces, dreamy and compassionate.
12°57′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
25°32′
Black Moon Lilith in Taurus
In Taurus, Lilith is an appetite for pleasure that sees no need to apologise.
23°27′
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 drive, his optimism and his imagination (Mars, Jupiter and Neptune) gather in Virgo, 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 Sun square Mars almost exact at 0.1°
He fought hard for what he wanted, and his temper was part of his courage.
Jupiter quincunx Uranus close at 1.1°
His hopes and his restlessness kept changing places, and he redrew his plans more than once.
Mercury trine Uranus close at 1.2°
A quick, original mind: ideas arrived in flashes, and he saw answers others missed.
Venus square Saturn close at 2.3°
Love felt like something to be earned, and he held back until he was sure of it.
Mercury square Jupiter close at 2.3°
Big ideas and loose details: he thought on a large scale, and the small print was where things got away from him.
Jupiter sextile Pluto close at 2.3°
Ambition with depth: he knew how to build influence, and he used it to make big changes.

Mercury square North Node wide at 5.6°

Mars opposition North Node wide at 5.8°
Old fights and the way forward disagreed, and he grew by choosing which battles mattered.
The Sun square North Node wide at 5.9°

The Sun sextile Saturn wide at 6.3°
Purpose and patience worked as a team: he built slowly and got better with every year.

Heavy demands and hard limits: he faced a great deal of pressure and came out tougher for it.
