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 Sagittarius
The Explorer. Honest, free and far-seeing.
12°23′
Moon in Libra
The Peacemaker. Needing harmony.
11°31′
Mercury in Sagittarius
The Philosopher. The big picture.
22°31′
Venus in Sagittarius
Venus moved from Scorpio into Sagittarius at 9:41 a.m. that day, local time: in Scorpio for a birth before then, in Sagittarius for one after.

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 Pisces
The direction his life grows in: Pisces, dreamy and compassionate.
17°06′
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.
2°25′
Black Moon Lilith in Cancer
In Cancer, Lilith is a fierce need to belong, and no wish to look after anyone on command.
29°43′
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 feelings, his optimism and his independence (the Moon, Jupiter and Uranus) gather in Libra, 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.
Mercury sextile Mars almost exact at 0.6°
A quick, direct mind: he makes decisions fast and says what he means.
The Sun sextile the Moon almost exact at 0.9°
His purpose and his feelings are on the same side: the life he chooses and the comfort he needs go together.
Venus conjunction Neptune close at 1.2°
Romance without limits: he falls for ideals as much as people, and his taste runs to the dreamy and the beautiful.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.8°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Venus sextile Pluto close at 2.9°
He loves with depth and loyalty, and the bonds he forms change both people.
The Moon conjunction Uranus wide at 3.5°
Restless feelings: he feels most at home where things are new.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
The Sun sextile Uranus wide at 4.3°
Independence comes easily: he does things his own way, and people find it refreshing rather than rude.
Mercury square Pluto wide at 4.7°
His words have force: he speaks to persuade, and he keeps his own counsel until the right moment.
The Sun square North Node wide at 4.7°
Being himself and growing ask for different things, and his biggest steps forward come when he stretches past his habits.
Jupiter opposition Saturn wide at 5.0°
Growth and caution keep checking each other: he moves forward in bursts, then pauses to consolidate.
Mercury square North Node wide at 5.4°
Old ideas and the way forward are at odds, and he learns new ways of thinking to move on.
Mars trine Jupiter wide at 6.0°
Big drive and big confidence: he goes after large goals, and his enthusiasm carries others along.
