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 Aquarius
The Free Thinker. Original, free and humane.
16°01′
Moon in Cancer
The Moon moved from Gemini into Cancer at 7:22 a.m. that day, local time: in Gemini for a birth before then, in Cancer for one after.
2°25′

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°57′
Chiron in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.
7°45′
Black Moon Lilith in Taurus
In Taurus, Lilith is an appetite for pleasure that sees no need to apologise.
12°25′
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 and his heart (the Sun, Mercury and Venus) gather in Aquarius, 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 sextile North Node almost exact at 0.1°
Deep change helped him forward: each time he started over, he went further.
The Moon trine Saturn almost exact at 0.7°
Steady feelings: he kept calm under strain, and he loved in ways that lasted.
Uranus opposition Neptune close at 1.4°
The urge for change and the longing for ideals clashed, and he lived with both.
The Moon square Mars close at 1.9°
Quick feelings and a quick temper: he reacted first, and his courage came from the same place as his flashes of anger.
The Sun conjunction Venus close at 2.1°
Charm came naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things were close to his core.
Saturn sextile Uranus wide at 3.6°
Old and new sat well together: he could change things without throwing out what worked.

The Sun opposition North Node wide at 4.9°

Saturn trine Neptune wide at 5.0°
Practical dreams: he gave ideals a shape and worked to make them real.
Jupiter square North Node wide at 5.9°
Easy hopes and the harder way forward went different ways, and real growth came from the harder one.
Mars square Uranus wide at 6.2°
Restless and quick to rebel: he pushed against limits, and sudden decisions came with the territory.

Growth and caution kept checking each other: he moved forward in bursts, then paused to consolidate.
Venus opposition North Node wide at 7.0°
What felt comfortable in love and what helped him grow were different things, and he chose between them more than once.
