The chart, fact by fact
Planets

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.

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 Aries
The direction his life grows in: Aries, bold and direct.
22°49′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
15°16′
Black Moon Lilith in Pisces
In Pisces, Lilith is a dreamer who wants no rescuing, with a private world all its own.
2°38′
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.
Grand trine
Three planets in an easy triangle, each in flowing contact with the other two: a gift that comes without effort.
In his chart, his identity, his drive and his independence (the Sun in Sagittarius, Mars in Leo and Uranus in Aries) make the triangle, so these came to him naturally.
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 trine Uranus close at 1.0°
Independence came easily: he did things his own way, and people found it refreshing rather than rude.
Jupiter conjunction Pluto close at 1.1°
Large ambitions and the will to see them through: he worked on a grand scale.
The Moon trine Saturn close at 1.1°
Steady feelings: he kept calm under strain, and he loved in ways that lasted.
Saturn square Uranus close at 1.1°
Tradition and rebellion fought in him: he wanted security and freedom, and could rarely have both at once.
Venus quincunx North Node close at 1.2°
He kept adjusting what he wanted from people to fit the life he was growing into.
Mercury trine North Node close at 2.1°
His way with words helped him find his direction, and the right ideas came at the right time.

Pluto square North Node close at 2.3°
Old attachments held him back from the way forward, and he grew by letting some things go.
Jupiter square North Node wide at 3.4°
Easy hopes and the harder way forward went different ways, and real growth came from the harder one.
Venus trine Pluto wide at 3.5°

Mars trine Uranus wide at 3.8°

Venus trine Jupiter wide at 4.5°
Affection came to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism helped each other.
Saturn trine Neptune wide at 4.7°
Practical dreams: he gave ideals a shape and worked to make them real.
The Sun trine Mars wide at 4.8°
His purpose and his drive worked together: once he decided on something, he moved on it fast.
The Sun square Neptune wide at 4.8°
The self he knew and the image others saw drifted apart at times, and he worked to keep hold of the real one.
