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 Aries
The Pioneer. First in, first to try.
9°11′
Moon in Virgo
The Moon moved from Virgo into Libra at 6:34 p.m. that day, local time: in Virgo for a birth before then, in Libra 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 Scorpio
The direction his life grows in: Scorpio, intense and private.
10°21′
Black Moon Lilith in Aries
In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.
8°29′
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 mind, his heart and his discipline (Mercury, Venus and Saturn) gather in Pisces, and that part of life drew his attention first.
Stellium
Three or more planets gathered in one sign or one house, so that part of the chart speaks loudest.
In his chart, his drive, his optimism and his independence (Mars, Jupiter and Uranus) gather in Leo, and that part of life drew his attention first.
Yod
Two planets in easy contact both point awkwardly at a third, which becomes the focus: a talent that takes constant adjusting.
In his chart, his optimism (Jupiter in Leo) and his imagination (Neptune in Libra) both point at his heart (Venus in Pisces), the part of him that kept needing adjustment and gave his life its focus.
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 Jupiter almost exact at 0.4°
His taste and his appetite for more needed adjusting: he kept learning what was enough.
Mercury quincunx Mars close at 1.1°
Thinking and doing kept getting out of step: he acted on half a thought, or thought past the moment to act.
The Sun quincunx North Node close at 1.2°
The way forward asked him to bend habits that felt like part of who he was.
Jupiter opposition Pluto close at 1.7°
He wanted more power than came easily, and the struggle for it shaped his life.
The Moon opposition Saturn close at 1.8°
Feelings came second to duty: he held himself to a high standard, even in private.
Venus quincunx Neptune close at 2.4°
What he wanted from love and what love gave him kept needing adjustment, and he learned to see people as they were.
