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 Capricorn
The Architect. Ambitious, patient and dry.
13°38′
Moon in Gemini
The Moon moved from Gemini into Cancer at 6:22 p.m. that day, local time: in Gemini for a birth before then, in Cancer for one after.
26°22′

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.
8°26′
Chiron in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.
15°04′
Black Moon Lilith in Pisces
In Pisces, Lilith is a dreamer who wants no rescuing, with a private world all its own.
24°52′
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 drive and his discipline (Mercury, Mars and Saturn) gather in Sagittarius, and that part of life drew his attention first.
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 opposition Mercury close at 1.1°
His head and his feelings argued: he knew what he thought before he knew what he felt, or the other way round.
Mars trine Uranus close at 2.0°
Quick and inventive in action: he moved fast, broke with habit and made sudden changes work.
Uranus square North Node close at 2.2°
The way forward asked for steadiness, and the urge for change kept breaking in.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 2.4°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
The Sun quincunx Uranus close at 3.0°
His restlessness kept testing his plans, so he changed course more than once to stay true to himself.
Jupiter sextile Pluto wide at 3.1°
Ambition with depth: he knew how to build influence, and he used it to make big changes.
