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 Virgo
The Fixer. Precise, useful and kind.
8°23′
Moon in Taurus
The Moon moved from Taurus into Gemini at 9:50 p.m. that day, local time: in Taurus for a birth before then, in Gemini for one after.
24°14′
Mercury in Virgo
The Analyst. The editor’s eye.
13°18′
Venus in Cancer
The Nurturer. Love that makes a home.
22°43′
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 Leo
The direction his life grows in: Leo, warm and dramatic.
20°05′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
18°14′
Black Moon Lilith in Libra
In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.
16°32′
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, his optimism and his discipline (the Sun, Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn) gather in Virgo, and that part of life draws 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 sextile North Node exact at 0.0°
Deep change helps him forward: each time he starts over, he goes further.
Neptune sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.1°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Neptune trine North Node almost exact at 0.2°
Imagination helps him forward, through art, ideals and care for others.
Venus trine Uranus almost exact at 0.8°
He loves the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.
Uranus square North Node close at 1.9°
The way forward asks for steadiness, and the urge for change keeps breaking in.
Jupiter square Neptune close at 1.9°
His hopes run ahead of what is real, and he learns to check a beautiful idea against the facts.

The Sun conjunction Mercury wide at 4.9°

His purpose and his drive work together: once he decides on something, he moves on it fast.
The Sun conjunction Jupiter wide at 9.6°
