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 Libra
The Diplomat. Grace, fairness and balance.
25°57′
Moon in Aries
The Moon moved from Pisces into Aries at 5:09 a.m. that day, local time: in Pisces for a birth before then, in Aries for one after.

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.
2°25′
Chiron in Libra
In Libra, Chiron is a soft spot around being chosen and kept, and a gift for making others feel met as equals.
11°49′
Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Lilith is an intensity and a private power that stay unexplained.
8°01′
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, his optimism and his imagination (the Sun, Venus, Jupiter and Neptune) gather in Libra, 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.
Jupiter sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.1°
Ambition with depth: he knows how to build influence, and he uses it to make big changes.
The Sun square Saturn close at 1.3°
Self-belief comes slowly and has to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counts.
Venus square North Node close at 1.8°
What feels comfortable in love and what helps him grow are different things, and he chooses between them more than once.
Mars conjunction Saturn close at 2.8°
Controlled force: he works with patience and grit, and he finishes what he starts.
The Sun square Mars wide at 4.1°
He fights hard for what he wants, and his temper is part of his courage.
Mercury square Pluto wide at 4.2°
His words have force: he speaks to persuade, and he keeps his own counsel until the right moment.

Neptune square North Node wide at 4.5°

Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 4.8°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.

Mercury trine North Node wide at 5.0°
His way with words helps him find his direction, and the right ideas come at the right time.
Jupiter trine Uranus wide at 5.4°
Sudden openings: he spots new chances early and jumps at them.
Venus conjunction Neptune wide at 6.2°
Romance without limits: he falls for ideals as much as people, and his taste runs to the dreamy and the beautiful.
The Sun trine North Node wide at 6.5°
The direction his life takes suits him: being himself and growing go hand in hand.

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 earth at all, so the practical, settled side is the one he has to find.
