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 Scorpio
The Detective. Intense, private and loyal.
20°31′
Moon in Sagittarius
The Moon moved from Scorpio into Sagittarius at 9:34 a.m. that day, local time: in Scorpio for a birth before then, in Sagittarius for one after.

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 Taurus
The direction his life grows in: Taurus, steady and sensual.
23°25′
Chiron in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Chiron is a wariness about trust that runs deep, and the strength to stay close when others are at their lowest.
14°47′
Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Lilith is the outsider’s streak, at its best when it does not fit in.
1°57′
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 intensity (Mars, Saturn and Pluto) gather in Leo, 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.
Mars conjunction Saturn almost exact at 0.5°
Controlled force: he works with patience and grit, and he finishes what he starts.
Mars square North Node almost exact at 0.6°
Old fights and the way forward disagree, and he grows by choosing which battles matter.
Saturn square North Node close at 1.1°
Duty and growth compete: what he owes others and where he needs to go call for hard choices.
The Sun square Saturn close at 1.8°
Self-belief comes slowly and has to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counts.
The Sun square Mars close at 2.3°
He fights hard for what he wants, and his temper is part of his courage.
Mars sextile Uranus close at 2.6°
Quick and inventive in action: he moves fast, breaks with habit and makes sudden changes work.

The Sun opposition North Node close at 2.9°

Neptune sextile Pluto close at 3.0°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Venus sextile Neptune wide at 3.1°
A romantic with an artist’s eye: he sees the beauty in people and makes it visible to others.
The Moon conjunction Jupiter wide at 3.1°
Big feelings and a big heart: his good moods lift everyone near, and he gives comfort freely.
Saturn sextile Uranus wide at 3.2°
Old and new sit well together: he can change things without throwing out what works.
Venus conjunction Jupiter wide at 4.5°
A generous heart: love and good company come to him easily, and he shares both.
The Sun square Pluto wide at 5.6°
Nothing about him is halfway: he insists on running his own life, and the struggle makes him formidable.
Venus trine Pluto wide at 6.1°
He loves with depth and loyalty, and the bonds he forms change both people.
Saturn conjunction Pluto wide at 7.3°
Iron will and great patience: he builds slowly and for keeps.
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
The Moon changed sign that day; it is counted where it stood at noon.
No earth at all, so the practical, settled side is the one he has to find.
