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.
8°04′
Moon in Gemini
The Moon moved from Gemini into Cancer at 5:54 p.m. that day, local time: in Gemini for a birth before then, in Cancer for one after.
26°25′
Mercury in Sagittarius
The Philosopher. The big picture.
0°28′
Venus in Scorpio
The Devotee. All or nothing.
12°01′
Mars in Virgo
The Craftsperson. The craftsman’s drive.

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 Cancer
The direction his life grows in: Cancer, protective and caring.
23°06′
Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Lilith is an intensity and a private power that stay unexplained.
25°56′
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 heart and his imagination (the Sun, Venus and Neptune) gather in Scorpio, 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.
Venus quincunx Saturn almost exact at 0.6°
He kept weighing pleasure against duty, and joy came once the work was done.
Mercury sextile Jupiter almost exact at 0.7°
A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learned easily, told a good story and saw the big picture.
The Sun sextile Uranus almost exact at 0.9°
Independence came easily: he did things his own way, and people found it refreshing rather than rude.
The Moon square Mars almost exact at 0.9°
Quick feelings and a quick temper: he reacted first, and his courage came from the same place as his flashes of anger.
The Moon trine Pluto almost exact at 0.9°
His feelings ran deep and held steady: he came through hard times with more strength than he went in with.
Uranus sextile Neptune close at 1.0°
Change and idealism went together: new ideas came wrapped in dreams of a better world.

Mars quincunx Pluto close at 1.9°

Pluto quincunx North Node close at 2.4°
He kept giving up a little control to keep growing.

Mercury sextile Mars wide at 3.1°
A quick, direct mind: he made decisions fast and said what he meant.
The Sun conjunction Venus wide at 4.0°
Charm came naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things were close to his core.
Mars sextile North Node wide at 4.3°
Courage moved him forward, and each bold step took him further along his path.
Mercury square Pluto wide at 5.0°
His words had force: he spoke to persuade, and he kept his own counsel until the right moment.
Saturn square Uranus wide at 5.4°
Tradition and rebellion fought in him: he wanted security and freedom, and could rarely have both at once.
Venus conjunction Neptune wide at 5.8°
Romance without limits: he fell for ideals as much as people, and his taste ran to the dreamy and the beautiful.
Jupiter square Neptune wide at 6.4°
His hopes ran ahead of what was real, and he learned to check a beautiful idea against the facts.
Mercury square Uranus wide at 6.7°
His mind ran ahead of the conversation: he said the unexpected thing, and not everyone was ready to hear it.
Jupiter opposition North Node wide at 6.7°
Easy hopes and the harder way forward went different ways, and real growth came from the harder one.
The Sun square Jupiter wide at 8.3°
He reached for more than one life could hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
