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 Cancer
The Protector. Home, memory and care.
7°13′
Moon in Gemini
The Moon moved from Taurus into Gemini at 2:10 a.m. that day, local time: in Taurus for a birth before then, in Gemini for one after.
5°38′
Mercury in Gemini
The Quick Wit. The messenger at home.
15°49′
Venus in Leo
The Romantic. Grand, generous love.
14°23′
Mars in Taurus
The Stayer. Slow to start, impossible to stop.

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.
9°17′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
10°47′
Black Moon Lilith in Virgo
In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.
27°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.
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 optimism and his imagination (the Sun in Cancer, Jupiter in Pisces and Neptune in Scorpio) make the triangle, so these come to him naturally.
Yod
Two planets in easy contact both point awkwardly at a third, which becomes the focus: a talent that takes constant adjusting.
In his chart, his identity (the Sun in Cancer) and his intensity (Pluto in Virgo) both point at his discipline (Saturn in Aquarius), the part of him that keeps needing adjustment and gives his life its 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 heart (Venus in Leo) and his discipline (Saturn in Aquarius) face each other across the wheel, and his imagination (Neptune in Scorpio) 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.
Saturn square Neptune almost exact at 0.6°
The dream and the hard work seldom agree on terms: his discipline and his imagination ask different things of him.
The Sun sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.7°
A quiet strength: under pressure he grows more focused, and he knows how to start over.
Saturn opposition North Node close at 1.0°
Duty and growth compete: what he owes others and where he needs to go call for hard choices.
Mercury sextile Venus close at 1.4°
A graceful mind: he speaks kindly and well, and he knows how to say a hard thing gently.
Neptune square North Node close at 1.6°
Dreams and the way forward clash, and growing means trading some illusions for clear sight.
Venus quincunx Jupiter close at 1.7°
His taste and his appetite for more need adjusting: he keeps learning what is enough.

Venus square Neptune wide at 3.5°
He loves the dream of a person, and the real one has to compete with it.

His confidence comes easily and spreads: he thinks big, and other people want to come along.

A patient, exact mind: he chooses every word, and his thinking gets sharper with practice.
