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.
12°25′
Moon in Gemini
The Talker. Feeling by talking.
18°39′
Mercury in Scorpio
The Investigator. Hears what was left out.
28°51′
Venus in Sagittarius
Venus moved from Scorpio into Sagittarius at 12:31 a.m. that day, local time: in Scorpio for a birth before then, in Sagittarius for one after.
0°36′
Mars in Aquarius
The Rebel. Rebel with a cause.

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 Aquarius
The direction his life grows in: Aquarius, independent and original.
9°27′
Chiron in Aries
In Aries, Chiron is a doubt about the right to go first, and with it a talent for giving others their nerve.
10°16′
Black Moon Lilith in Libra
In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.
17°36′
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.
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 mind, his heart and his imagination (Mercury in Scorpio, Venus in Sagittarius and Neptune in Sagittarius) and his discipline (Saturn in Gemini) face each other across the wheel, and his drive (Mars in Aquarius) 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.
Jupiter sextile North Node almost exact at 0.3°
Hope helps him grow: faith in what is possible keeps him moving forward.
Venus sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.5°
He loves with depth and loyalty, and the bonds he forms change both people.
Mercury square Mars almost exact at 0.6°
Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argues well, sometimes too well, and a debate is a kind of sport to him.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.0°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Venus square Mars close at 1.1°
In love he wants tenderness and a chase at once, and his relationships are rarely calm.
Venus conjunction Neptune close at 1.4°
Romance without limits: he falls for ideals as much as people, and his taste runs to the dreamy and the beautiful.

Mercury sextile Pluto close at 2.2°

Mars square Neptune close at 2.6°
Drive and dreams mix uneasily: the goal is clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.
Saturn opposition Neptune close at 2.6°
The dream and the hard work seldom agree on terms: his discipline and his imagination ask different things of him.
The Sun square North Node close at 3.0°
Being himself and growing ask for different things, and his biggest steps forward come when he stretches past his habits.
Mercury conjunction Neptune wide at 3.2°
A poet’s mind: he hears what goes unsaid, and his best ideas come from somewhere hard to explain.

Mercury opposition Saturn wide at 5.8°
He doubts his own ideas before anyone else can, and so he checks every one twice.
Uranus trine North Node wide at 6.3°
Change helps him forward: he grows by trying the new.

A dreamer’s faith: he believes in something larger, and his compassion and his hopes go together.
