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 Leo
The Bright One. Warm, proud and generous.
12°49′
Moon in Aries
The Moon moved from Pisces into Aries at 11:15 a.m. that day, local time: in Pisces for a birth before then, in Aries for one after.

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 Taurus
The direction his life grows in: Taurus, steady and sensual.
21°20′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
25°38′
Black Moon Lilith in Pisces
In Pisces, Lilith is a dreamer who wants no rescuing, with a private world all its own.
14°07′
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 heart, his drive and his optimism (Venus, Mars and Jupiter) gather in Cancer, 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 Pluto almost exact at 0.1°
Stamina and willpower: he keeps going long after others stop, and he does his best work under pressure.
The Moon trine Mercury almost exact at 0.2°
Feeling and thought speak the same language: he can put a mood into words, and his words carry feeling.
Venus sextile Uranus almost exact at 0.4°
He loves the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.
Jupiter trine Neptune almost exact at 0.6°
Faith and imagination together: he believes in people and ideals, and that belief is catching.
Mars sextile Uranus almost exact at 0.7°
Quick and inventive in action: he moves fast, breaks with habit and makes sudden changes work.
Uranus conjunction Pluto almost exact at 0.7°
Born into a time of upheaval: he wants radical change, and wants it at once.
