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 Sagittarius
The Explorer. Honest, free and far-seeing.
27°00′
Moon in Sagittarius
The Free Spirit. Free, hopeful and restless.

The Philosopher. The big picture.
24°49′

The Loyal Partner. Love built to last.
26°31′

The Strategist. Will under a still surface.

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 Pisces
The direction his life grows in: Pisces, dreamy and compassionate.
27°58′
Chiron in Gemini
In Gemini, Chiron is an old fear of not being heard, which becomes a gift for finding the words others lack.
25°56′
Black Moon Lilith in Leo
In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.
13°44′
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 identity, his feelings, his mind, his discipline and his independence (the Sun, the Moon, Mercury, Saturn and Uranus) gather in Sagittarius, and that part of life draws 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 Sun conjunction Uranus almost exact at 0.1°
Born original: his identity and his need for freedom are the same thing, and he surprises people, himself included.
Mercury conjunction Saturn almost exact at 0.8°
Serious thoughts: he says less than he knows, and what he says holds up.
The Sun square North Node close at 1.0°
Being himself and growing ask for different things, and his biggest steps forward come when he stretches past his habits.
Uranus square North Node close at 1.1°
The way forward asks for steadiness, and the urge for change keeps breaking in.
Venus sextile North Node close at 1.4°
Love and friendship move him forward: the people he cares for help him find his way.
Mercury conjunction Uranus close at 2.1°
He thinks in leaps: brilliant, contrary and quick to get bored with the obvious.

A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
