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.
18°46′
Moon in Scorpio
The Vault. Deep water, kept private.
14°27′
Mercury in Aquarius
The Inventor. The original thinker.
22°42′
Venus in Pisces
The Tender Heart. Love without limits.
18°21′
Mars in Sagittarius

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 Libra
The direction his life grows in: Libra, graceful and fair.
28°37′
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.
25°05′
Black Moon Lilith in Cancer
In Cancer, Lilith is a fierce need to belong, and no wish to look after anyone on command.
18°55′
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.
Grand trine
Three planets in an easy triangle, each in flowing contact with the other two: a gift that comes without effort.
In his chart, his heart, his optimism and his discipline (Venus in Pisces, Jupiter in Scorpio and Saturn in Cancer) make the triangle, so these came to him naturally.
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.
The Moon trine Saturn exact at 0.0°
Steady feelings: he kept calm under strain, and he loved in ways that lasted.
The Moon conjunction Jupiter almost exact at 0.7°
Big feelings and a big heart: his good moods lifted everyone near, and he gave comfort freely.
Jupiter trine Saturn almost exact at 0.7°
Hope and caution in balance: he dreamed big and planned carefully, and both helped.
Uranus square North Node almost exact at 0.8°
The way forward asked for steadiness, and the urge for change kept breaking in.
Mars sextile Uranus close at 1.1°
Quick and inventive in action: he moved fast, broke with habit and made sudden changes work.
Venus sextile Neptune close at 1.3°
A romantic with an artist’s eye: he saw the beauty in people and made it visible to others.

Saturn opposition Neptune close at 2.6°
The dream and the hard work seldom agreed on terms: his discipline and his imagination asked different things of him.
Jupiter sextile Neptune wide at 3.3°
Faith and imagination together: he believed in people and ideals, and that belief was catching.
Venus trine Saturn wide at 3.9°
Loyal in love: he chose carefully, and what he built with people lasted.
The Sun conjunction Mercury wide at 3.9°
His mind and his identity were close together: he spoke as he thought, and his ideas were part of who he was.
Mars trine Pluto wide at 4.3°
Stamina and willpower: he kept going long after others stopped, and he did his best work under pressure.
The Sun quincunx Saturn wide at 4.3°
The wish to shine and the wish to be careful needed steady adjusting: he moved forward a step, then checked it.
Venus trine Jupiter wide at 4.6°
Affection came to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism helped each other.
The Sun square Jupiter wide at 5.0°
He reached for more than one life could hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
Mercury trine North Node wide at 5.9°
His way with words helped him find his direction, and the right ideas came at the right time.
