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 Gemini
The Messenger. Curious and many-sided.
29°24′
Moon in Aquarius
The Cool Head. Cool head, warm heart.
22°09′
Mercury in Gemini
The Quick Wit. The messenger at home.
25°48′
Venus in Taurus
The Keeper. Slow, sensual and loyal.
14°44′
Mars in Scorpio
The Strategist. Will under a still surface.

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.
2°08′
Chiron in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.
5°51′
Black Moon Lilith in Aries
In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.
16°48′
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 and his intensity (the Sun, Mercury and Pluto) gather in Gemini, and that part of life drew his attention first.
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 drive, his discipline and his imagination (Mars in Scorpio, Saturn in Pisces and Neptune in Cancer) 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.
Uranus trine North Node almost exact at 0.2°
Change helped him forward: he grew by trying the new.
Saturn sextile Uranus almost exact at 0.5°
Old and new sat well together: he could change things without throwing out what worked.
Saturn opposition North Node almost exact at 0.7°
Duty and growth competed: what he owed others and where he needed to go called for hard choices.
The Moon trine Pluto almost exact at 0.8°
His feelings ran deep and held steady: he came through hard times with more strength than he went in with.
Mars trine Neptune almost exact at 0.9°
He worked for ideals: his drive came alive for a cause, a role or a dream.
The Moon square Jupiter close at 2.0°
His feelings ran large: he wanted more comfort, more company and more of everything than any one day gave.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
The Sun sextile North Node close at 2.7°
The direction his life took suited him: being himself and growing went hand in hand.
The Sun opposition Uranus close at 3.0°
He needed room to be himself, and any rule that fit too tightly got broken.
The Sun trine Saturn wide at 3.4°
Purpose and patience worked as a team: he built slowly and got better with every year.
The Sun conjunction Mercury wide at 3.6°
His mind and his identity were close together: he spoke as he thought, and his ideas were part of who he was.
The Moon trine Mercury wide at 3.6°
Feeling and thought spoke the same language: he could put a mood into words, and his words carried feeling.
Mercury conjunction Pluto wide at 4.4°
He thought like a detective: nothing was taken at face value, and he remembered everything.
Saturn trine Neptune wide at 4.7°
Practical dreams: he gave ideals a shape and worked to make them real.
Uranus opposition Neptune wide at 5.2°
The urge for change and the longing for ideals clashed, and he lived with both.
Mars trine Saturn wide at 5.6°
His drive and his discipline worked together easily: he could push hard and keep going.
Venus opposition Mars wide at 6.3°
In love he wanted tenderness and a chase at once, and his relationships were rarely calm.
Mercury opposition Uranus wide at 6.6°
His mind ran ahead of the conversation: he said the unexpected thing, and not everyone was ready to hear it.
The Sun conjunction Pluto wide at 8.0°
Intensity at the centre: he wanted the whole truth about everything, himself first, and he remade himself more than once to reach it.
The Sun conjunction Neptune wide at 8.2°
He took in moods, music and other people’s hopes, and gave them back as something new.
Chart signature
What’s this?Close
The chart’s balance at a glance: which of the four elements and three modes it leans on, which body is most connected, and any body standing alone.
Elements
Modes
No fire at all, so the bold first move came by choice rather than by instinct.
