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.
4°26′
Moon in Aquarius
The Moon moved from Capricorn into Aquarius at 6:17 a.m. that day, local time: in Capricorn for a birth before then, in Aquarius for one after.
3°18′
Mercury in Scorpio
The Investigator. Hears what was left out.
28°09′
Venus in Scorpio
The Devotee. All or nothing.
21°14′
Mars in Leo
The Leader. Courage with an audience.
18°59′

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 Virgo
The direction his life grows in: Virgo, precise and helpful.
6°40′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
11°52′
Black Moon Lilith in Virgo
In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.
12°16′
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 identity, his mind, his heart and his independence (the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Uranus) gather in Scorpio, 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 trine Neptune almost exact at 0.3°
He works for ideals: his drive comes alive for a cause, a role or a dream.
The Sun sextile Jupiter almost exact at 0.8°
His confidence comes easily and spreads: he thinks big, and other people want to come along.
Mars sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.8°
Stamina and willpower: he keeps going long after others stop, and he does his best work under pressure.
Venus conjunction Uranus close at 1.0°
Love at first sight, and freedom after it: the different and the new win his heart.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.1°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
The Sun square the Moon close at 1.1°
The self he shows the world and the self he comes home to want different things, and he makes room for both.

Words with charm in them: he has an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people like listening to him.
