The chart, fact by fact
Planets

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.

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 Capricorn
The direction his life grows in: Capricorn, ambitious and patient.
3°51′
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.
19°39′
Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.
3°48′
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 mind, his independence and his intensity (Mercury, Uranus and Pluto) gather in Libra, 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 heart (Venus in Scorpio) and his drive (Mars in Taurus) face each other across the wheel, and his optimism (Jupiter in Aquarius) takes the strain: the part of him that works hardest.
Yod
Two planets in easy contact both point awkwardly at a third, which becomes the focus: a talent that takes constant adjusting.
In his chart, his optimism (Jupiter in Aquarius) and his imagination (Neptune in Sagittarius) both point at his discipline (Saturn in Cancer), the part of him that keeps needing adjustment and gives his life its focus.
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.
Saturn square Pluto almost exact at 0.1°
Heavy demands and hard limits: he faces a great deal of pressure and comes out tougher for it.
Pluto square North Node almost exact at 0.1°
Old attachments hold him back from the way forward, and he grows by letting some things go.
Saturn opposition North Node almost exact at 0.2°
Duty and growth compete: what he owes others and where he needs to go call for hard choices.
Mercury quincunx Mars almost exact at 0.8°
Thinking and doing keep getting out of step: he acts on half a thought, or thinks past the moment to act.
Saturn quincunx Neptune almost exact at 0.9°
Duty and dreams keep trading places as the priority.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.0°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.

The Sun square Saturn wide at 8.4°
