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.
2°54′
Moon in Virgo
The Moon moved from Leo into Virgo at 7:22 a.m. that day, local time: in Leo for a birth before then, in Virgo for one after.
2°52′
Mercury in Cancer
The Remembering Mind. A memory for tone.
20°13′
Venus in Virgo
The Quiet Romantic. Love in small attentions.

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 Libra
The direction his life grows in: Libra, graceful and fair.
1°20′
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.
17°29′
Black Moon Lilith in Pisces
In Pisces, Lilith is a dreamer who wants no rescuing, with a private world all its own.
22°35′
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.
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 Libra) and his imagination (Neptune in Leo) both point at his independence (Uranus in Pisces), the part of him that kept needing adjustment and gave 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.
The Sun sextile Saturn almost exact at 0.2°
Purpose and patience worked as a team: he built slowly and got better with every year.
Venus opposition Uranus almost exact at 0.3°
Love came in sudden starts and stops: he fell for people quickly and needed room just as quickly.
Jupiter quincunx Uranus almost exact at 0.6°
His hopes and his restlessness kept changing places, and he redrew his plans more than once.
Mars sextile Jupiter almost exact at 0.8°
Big drive and big confidence: he went after large goals, and his enthusiasm carried others along.
Mars square Uranus close at 1.3°
Restless and quick to rebel: he pushed against limits, and sudden decisions came with the territory.
The Sun sextile North Node close at 1.6°
The direction his life took suited him: being himself and growing went hand in hand.
