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.
29°14′
Moon in Capricorn
The Moon moved from Capricorn into Aquarius at 2:15 p.m. that day, local time: in Capricorn for a birth before then, in Aquarius for one after.
28°40′
Mercury in Gemini
The Quick Wit. The messenger at home.
13°57′
Venus in Cancer
The Nurturer. Love that makes a home.
12°01′
Mars in Gemini
The Multitasker. Quick with the comeback.

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 Cancer
The direction his life grows in: Cancer, protective and caring.
5°35′
Chiron in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.
23°21′
Black Moon Lilith in Leo
In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.
15°21′
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 drive and his intensity (Mercury, Mars and Pluto) gather in Gemini, 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.
Jupiter trine Saturn almost exact at 0.3°
Hope and caution in balance: he dreamed big and planned carefully, and both helped.
The Sun trine the Moon almost exact at 0.6°
His purpose and his feelings were on the same side: the life he chose and the comfort he needed went together.
Venus conjunction Neptune almost exact at 0.9°
Romance without limits: he fell for ideals as much as people, and his taste ran to the dreamy and the beautiful.
Saturn square North Node close at 1.5°
Duty and growth competed: what he owed others and where he needed to go called for hard choices.
Uranus opposition Neptune wide at 3.6°
The urge for change and the longing for ideals clashed, and he lived with both.
Venus opposition Uranus wide at 4.5°
Love came in sudden starts and stops: he fell for people quickly and needed room just as quickly.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Venus square Saturn wide at 5.0°
Love felt like something to be earned, and he held back until he was sure of it.
Mars conjunction Pluto wide at 5.1°
Concentrated force: when he wanted something, he went after it with everything.
Saturn square Neptune wide at 5.9°
The dream and the hard work seldom agreed on terms: his discipline and his imagination asked different things of him.
Venus conjunction North Node wide at 6.4°
Following his heart was following his path: the people and pleasures he loved led him forward.
Mars conjunction North Node wide at 6.8°
Driven towards his path: he went after the life he wanted with real force.
Neptune conjunction North Node wide at 7.4°
A path lit by imagination: he followed a vision more than a plan.
