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 Leo
The Bright One. Warm, proud and generous.
2°12′
Moon in Sagittarius
The Moon moved from Scorpio into Sagittarius at 5:10 a.m. that day, local time: in Scorpio for a birth before then, in Sagittarius for one after.
3°37′
Mercury in Leo
The Storyteller. A voice that carries.
24°06′
Venus in Cancer
The Nurturer. Love that makes a home.
20°47′
Mars in Capricornretrograde
The Achiever. The disciplined climb.

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 Scorpio
The direction his life grows in: Scorpio, intense and private.
4°21′
Chiron in Cancer
In Cancer, Chiron is an early longing to belong somewhere, and a knack for making strangers feel at home.
14°05′
Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Lilith is the outsider’s streak, at its best when it does not fit in.
24°16′
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 intensity (the Sun, Mercury and Pluto) gather in Leo, and that part of life draws his attention first.
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 identity and his intensity (the Sun and Pluto, together in Leo) and his drive (Mars in Capricorn) face each other across the wheel, and his discipline (Saturn in Taurus) 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 Pluto almost exact at 0.1°
Heavy demands and hard limits: he faces a great deal of pressure and comes out tougher for it.
Uranus trine Neptune almost exact at 0.2°
Change and idealism go together: new ideas come wrapped in dreams of a better world.
Venus sextile Neptune almost exact at 0.5°
A romantic with an artist’s eye: he sees the beauty in people and makes it visible to others.
Venus sextile Uranus almost exact at 0.7°
He loves the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.
The Sun conjunction Pluto close at 1.1°
Intensity at the centre: he wants the whole truth about everything, himself first, and he remakes himself more than once to reach it.
The Sun square Saturn close at 1.2°
Self-belief comes slowly and has to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counts.

The Sun trine the Moon close at 1.4°
His purpose and his feelings are on the same side: the life he chooses and the comfort he needs go together.
Mars square Saturn close at 2.1°
Drive with the brakes on: he wants to move, something holds him back, and the friction makes him tough.
The Sun square North Node close at 2.1°
Being himself and growing ask for different things, and his biggest steps forward come when he stretches past his habits.
Mars opposition Pluto close at 2.3°
A fierce will: he meets opposition head on, and a fight brings out his full strength.
The Moon trine Pluto close at 2.5°
His feelings run deep and hold steady: he comes through hard times with more strength than he goes in with.
Mercury square Uranus close at 2.6°
His mind runs ahead of the conversation: he says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.
Pluto square North Node wide at 3.2°
Old attachments hold him back from the way forward, and he grows by letting some things go.
The Sun opposition Mars wide at 3.4°
He fights hard for what he wants, and his temper is part of his courage.
Saturn opposition North Node wide at 3.4°
Duty and growth compete: what he owes others and where he needs to go call for hard choices.
Mars square North Node wide at 5.5°
Old fights and the way forward disagree, and he grows by choosing which battles matter.
The Sun trine Jupiter wide at 6.6°
His confidence comes easily and spreads: he thinks big, and other people want to come along.
Mercury trine Saturn wide at 6.9°
A patient, exact mind: he chooses every word, and his thinking gets sharper with practice.

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.

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.
