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 Libra
The Diplomat. Grace, fairness and balance.
0°30′
Moon in Aries
The Moon moved from Pisces into Aries at 4:45 a.m. that day, local time: in Pisces for a birth before then, in Aries for one after.
4°26′
Mercury in Libra
The Mediator. Both sides of the question.
3°30′
Venus in Leo
The Romantic. Grand, generous love.
16°37′
Mars in Virgo
The Craftsperson. The craftsman’s drive.
25°10′

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 Capricorn
The direction his life grows in: Capricorn, ambitious and patient.
23°42′
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.
15°45′
Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Lilith is an intensity and a private power that stay unexplained.
23°46′
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 mind, his independence and his intensity (the Sun, Mercury, Uranus and Pluto) gather in Libra, 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.
Mercury sextile Neptune almost exact at 0.6°
He thinks in pictures and music: his words carry a mood, and his imagination gives his ideas colour.
The Sun square Jupiter almost exact at 0.7°
He reaches for more than one life can hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
The Moon opposition Mercury almost exact at 0.9°
His head and his feelings argue: he knows what he thinks before he knows what he feels, or the other way round.
Venus sextile Uranus almost exact at 0.9°
He loves the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.1°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
The Sun conjunction Pluto close at 1.3°
Intensity at the centre: he wants the whole truth about everything, himself first, and he remakes himself more than once to reach it.

The Sun sextile Neptune close at 2.4°

Saturn trine Uranus close at 3.0°

The Sun conjunction Mercury close at 3.0°
His mind and his identity are close together: he speaks as he thinks, and his ideas are part of who he is.
Mercury square Jupiter wide at 3.7°

The direction his life takes suits him: being himself and growing go hand in hand.
Chart signature
What’s this?Close
The chart’s balance at a glance: which of the four elements and three modes it leans on, which body is most connected, and any body standing alone.
Elements
Modes
The Moon changed sign that day; it is counted where it stood at noon.
No water at all, so feelings come out in actions more than in words.
