The chart, fact by fact
Planets

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 Leo
The Bright One. Warm, proud and generous.

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.
28°36′
Chiron in Gemini
In Gemini, Chiron is an old fear of not being heard, which becomes a gift for finding the words others lack.
3°49′
Black Moon Lilith in Gemini
In Gemini, Lilith is the quick tongue that says out loud what the room only thinks.
22°48′
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 heart, his optimism and his imagination (Venus, Jupiter and Neptune) gather in Virgo, and that part of life drew 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 drive (Mars in Libra) and his independence (Uranus in Aries) face each other across the wheel, and his intensity (Pluto in Cancer) took the strain: the part of him that worked 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.
The Sun sextile Mars exact at 0.0°
His purpose and his drive worked together: once he decided on something, he moved on it fast.
The Moon conjunction Pluto almost exact at 0.1°
Intense, private feelings: he kept an inner life few people saw, and he guarded it well.
Venus quincunx Uranus almost exact at 0.9°
Affection and independence needed constant trading off, and he kept renegotiating the terms of his relationships.
Venus conjunction Jupiter close at 1.1°
A generous heart: love and good company came to him easily, and he shared both.
Mars square Pluto close at 1.2°
A fierce will: he met opposition head on, and a fight brought out his full strength.
Uranus sextile North Node close at 1.3°
Change helped him forward: he grew by trying the new.
