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.
12°22′
Moon in Aquarius
The Moon moved from Aquarius into Pisces at 3:37 p.m. that day, local time: in Aquarius for a birth before then, in Pisces for one after.
27°57′

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.
11°43′
Chiron in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.
9°55′
Black Moon Lilith in Gemini
In Gemini, Lilith is the quick tongue that says out loud what the room only thinks.
2°42′
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 drive (the Sun, Mercury and Mars) gather in Leo, 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.
Mercury sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.6°
A probing mind: he got to the bottom of things, and his words had power when he chose to use them.
Venus square Pluto almost exact at 0.6°
Love came with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where he stood.
The Sun conjunction North Node almost exact at 0.7°
His identity and his direction in life lined up: the more fully he became himself, the further he went.
Mars quincunx Uranus almost exact at 0.8°
Effort and restlessness kept catching each other off guard, and his plans changed at short notice.
The Sun quincunx Saturn close at 1.4°
The wish to shine and the wish to be careful needed steady adjusting: he moved forward a step, then checked it.
Saturn quincunx North Node close at 2.1°
Responsibility and growth needed steady balancing, and he learned which duties to keep.
