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°03′
Moon in Leo
The Moon moved from Leo into Virgo at 3:53 p.m. that day, local time: in Leo for a birth before then, in Virgo for one after.
28°02′
Mercury in Cancer
The Remembering Mind. A memory for tone.
29°22′
Venus in Cancer
The Nurturer. Love that makes a home.
8°44′
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 Virgo
The direction his life grows in: Virgo, precise and helpful.
17°59′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
2°02′
Black Moon Lilith in Cancer
In Cancer, Lilith is a fierce need to belong, and no wish to look after anyone on command.
5°47′
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 Cancer, 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 opposition Neptune almost exact at 0.4°
Drive and dreams mix uneasily: the goal is clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.
The Moon trine Jupiter almost exact at 0.4°
Good-hearted and generous: he feels looked after by life, and he passes that on.
The Sun trine Neptune almost exact at 0.6°
Imagination and identity work together: he can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
The Sun sextile Mars almost exact at 0.9°
His purpose and his drive work together: once he decides on something, he moves on it fast.
The Sun conjunction Venus close at 1.7°
Charm comes naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things are close to his core.
Mercury quincunx Jupiter close at 1.7°
The facts and the bigger picture need constant reconciling, and he keeps checking one against the other.

He reaches for more than one life can hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
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.

Modes
The Moon changed sign that day; it is counted where it stood at noon.
No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through takes deliberate effort.
