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 Aquarius
The Free Thinker. Original, free and humane.
23°11′
Moon in Leo
The Moon moved from Cancer into Leo at 2:50 a.m. that day, local time: in Cancer for a birth before then, in Leo 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 Aries
The direction his life grows in: Aries, bold and direct.
20°21′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
27°13′
Black Moon Lilith in Taurus
In Taurus, Lilith is an appetite for pleasure that sees no need to apologise.
15°54′
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 optimism, his independence and his intensity (Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto) gather in Virgo, and that part of life draws his attention first.
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 identity and his mind (the Sun and Mercury, together in Aquarius) and his optimism (Jupiter in Virgo) face each other across the wheel, and his imagination (Neptune in Scorpio) 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.
Mars trine Neptune almost exact at 0.2°
He works for ideals: his drive comes alive for a cause, a role or a dream.
Mercury quincunx Uranus almost exact at 0.5°
Ordinary logic and sudden insight need constant translating, and he spends time explaining how he gets there.
Venus square North Node almost exact at 0.6°
What feels comfortable in love and what helps him grow are different things, and he chooses between them more than once.
The Sun quincunx Pluto almost exact at 0.9°
He keeps rebuilding himself to fit what life asks, and control is the hardest thing to give up.
Venus trine Pluto close at 1.3°
He loves with depth and loyalty, and the bonds he forms change both people.
Mars opposition Uranus close at 1.8°
Restless and quick to rebel: he pushes against limits, and sudden decisions come with the territory.

The Sun sextile North Node close at 2.8°
The direction his life takes suits him: being himself and growing go hand in hand.
Mercury opposition Jupiter close at 2.8°
Big ideas and loose details: he thinks on a large scale, and the small print is where things get away from him.
The Sun square Neptune wide at 3.3°
The self he knows and the image others see drift apart at times, and he works to keep hold of the real one.
Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 4.2°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Mars opposition Pluto wide at 4.4°

Jupiter square Neptune wide at 5.4°
His hopes run ahead of what is real, and he learns to check a beautiful idea against the facts.
The Sun conjunction Mercury wide at 5.9°

Uranus conjunction Pluto wide at 6.3°
Born into a time of upheaval: he wants radical change, and wants it at once.
The Sun opposition Jupiter wide at 8.7°
He reaches for more than one life can hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
