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.

Beyond the planetsNorth Node in Capricorn, Chiron and Lilith
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 Capricorn

    The direction his life grows in: Capricorn, ambitious and patient.

    13°36′

  • Chiron in Pisces

    In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.

    2°14′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Aries

    In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.

    26°26′

The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.

PatternsStellium
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 drive (Mercury, Venus and Mars) gather in Cancer, and that part of life drew his attention first.

Aspects by strength12 between the planets, the closest first
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.

  • Uranus quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.5°

    Sudden changes kept shifting the way forward, and he adapted each time.

  • The Moon opposition Pluto close at 1.3°

    He loved hard and held on hard, and letting go took him a long time.

  • Venus sextile Pluto close at 1.8°

    He loved with depth and loyalty, and the bonds he formed changed both people.

  • Mercury conjunction Mars close at 2.3°

    He thought fast and spoke faster: his mind liked a contest, and his words had an edge.

  • Saturn quincunx Neptune close at 2.8°

    Duty and dreams kept trading places as the priority.

  • Pluto trine North Node wide at 3.6°

    Deep change helped him forward: each time he started over, he went further.

  • The Sun square Neptune wide at 3.8°

    The self he knew and the image others saw drifted apart at times, and he worked to keep hold of the real one.

  • Venus sextile Saturn wide at 3.8°

    Loyal in love: he chose carefully, and what he built with people lasted.

  • The Sun sextile Jupiter wide at 4.7°

    His confidence came easily and spread: he thought big, and other people wanted to come along.

  • Venus opposition North Node wide at 5.4°

    What felt comfortable in love and what helped him grow were different things, and he chose between them more than once.

  • Saturn trine Pluto wide at 5.6°

    Endurance: he could work through hard times, and what he built survived pressure.

  • Mars opposition North Node wide at 6.4°

    Old fights and the way forward disagreed, and he grew by choosing which battles mattered.
