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 Scorpio
The Detective. Intense, private and loyal.
22°07′
Moon in Leo
The Moon moved from Cancer into Leo at 2:19 a.m. that day, local time: in Cancer for a birth before then, in Leo for one after.
4°46′
Mercury in Scorpio
The Investigator. Hears what was left out.
8°44′
Venus in Libra
The Sweetheart. Grace, romance and balance.
29°06′
Mars in Libra
The Negotiator. A fighter for fairness.

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.
3°45′
Chiron in Cancer
In Cancer, Chiron is an early longing to belong somewhere, and a knack for making strangers feel at home.
22°10′
Black Moon Lilith in Cancer
In Cancer, Lilith is a fierce need to belong, and no wish to look after anyone on command.
12°11′
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 independence (Venus, Mars and Uranus) gather in Libra, 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.
Saturn square Neptune almost exact at 0.4°
The dream and the hard work seldom agreed on terms: his discipline and his imagination asked different things of him.
Saturn sextile North Node almost exact at 0.7°
Discipline helped him grow: patience and hard work kept him on course.
Jupiter quincunx Pluto close at 1.2°
The bigger the stakes grew, the more he had to rethink his aims.
Mercury sextile Jupiter close at 1.3°
A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learned easily, told a good story and saw the big picture.
Mars trine Neptune close at 1.4°
He worked for ideals: his drive came alive for a cause, a role or a dream.
Mars square North Node close at 1.7°
Old fights and the way forward disagreed, and he grew by choosing which battles mattered.
