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°42′
Moon in Taurus
The Hearth. Calm, sensual and steady.
9°16′
Mercury in Capricorn
The Planner. Foundations first.
0°53′
Venus in Scorpio

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 Leo
The direction his life grows in: Leo, warm and dramatic.
8°13′
Chiron in Virgo
In Virgo, Chiron is the sense that no effort is ever quite enough, and a gift for patient, practical help.
15°19′
Black Moon Lilith in Leo
In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.
22°00′
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 drive, his discipline and his independence (Mars, Saturn and Uranus) gather in Gemini, and that part of life drew 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.
Pluto conjunction North Node almost exact at 0.4°
A path of transformation: his direction in life asked him to change himself completely, more than once.
Mercury sextile Venus almost exact at 0.5°
A graceful mind: he spoke kindly and well, and he knew how to say a hard thing gently.
The Moon square Pluto almost exact at 0.7°
He loved hard and held on hard, and letting go took him a long time.
The Moon square North Node close at 1.1°
Home comforts and the way forward asked for different things, and growing meant leaving some familiar things behind.
Uranus sextile North Node close at 1.8°
Change helped him forward: he grew by trying the new.
Uranus sextile Pluto close at 2.1°
He could help change things at the root, and upheaval suited him.
