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.
15°23′
Moon in Gemini
The Moon moved from Taurus into Gemini at 8:28 a.m. that day, local time: in Taurus for a birth before then, in Gemini for one after.
2°04′
Mercury in Sagittariusretrograde
The Philosopher. The big picture.
5°13′

The Kindred Spirit. Friend first, lover too.

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 Gemini
The direction his life grows in: Gemini, curious and quick-witted.
4°43′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
18°00′
Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Lilith is the outsider’s streak, at its best when it does not fit in.
17°07′
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.
T-square
Two planets pull against each other, and a third stands at right angles to both, where the strain gathers.
In his chart, his discipline (Saturn in Pisces) and his intensity (Pluto in Virgo) face each other across the wheel, and his identity (the Sun in Sagittarius) takes the strain: the part of him that works hardest.
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 opposition North Node almost exact at 0.5°
Old ideas and the way forward are at odds, and he learns new ways of thinking to move on.
Mars trine Pluto almost exact at 0.5°
Stamina and willpower: he keeps going long after others stop, and he does his best work under pressure.
Uranus conjunction Pluto close at 1.1°
Born into a time of upheaval: he wants radical change, and wants it at once.
Uranus sextile Neptune close at 1.2°
Change and idealism go together: new ideas come wrapped in dreams of a better world.
Mars trine Uranus close at 1.6°
Quick and inventive in action: he moves fast, breaks with habit and makes sudden changes work.
The Moon trine Venus close at 1.6°
He puts people at ease without trying: kindness and charm come from the same place.

Neptune sextile Pluto close at 2.2°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
The Moon conjunction North Node close at 2.6°
His instincts lead the way: following his feelings is how he finds his direction.
Mars sextile Neptune close at 2.8°
He works for ideals: his drive comes alive for a cause, a role or a dream.
The Sun square Pluto close at 3.0°
Nothing about him is halfway: he insists on running his own life, and the struggle makes him formidable.
The Sun square Uranus wide at 4.1°
He needs room to be himself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.
Venus trine North Node wide at 4.3°
Love and friendship move him forward: the people he cares for help him find his way.
The Sun square Saturn wide at 4.4°
Self-belief comes slowly and has to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counts.
Mercury square Saturn wide at 5.8°
He doubts his own ideas before anyone else can, and so he checks every one twice.
Saturn square North Node wide at 6.3°
Duty and growth compete: what he owes others and where he needs to go call for hard choices.
Saturn opposition Pluto wide at 7.5°
Heavy demands and hard limits: he faces a great deal of pressure and comes out tougher for it.
