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.
7°22′
Moon in Capricorn
The Steady Hand. Steady feeling, kept in check.
18°55′
Mercury in Capricorn
The Planner. Foundations first.
25°35′
Venus in Aquarius
The Kindred Spirit. Friend first, lover too.
6°25′
Mars in Sagittarius
The Champion. The long shot.

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.
16°56′
Chiron in Cancer
In Cancer, Chiron is an early longing to belong somewhere, and a knack for making strangers feel at home.
14°03′
Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Lilith is an intensity and a private power that stay unexplained.
6°05′
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, his independence and his imagination (the Sun, the Moon, Mercury, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune) gather in Capricorn, and that part of life draws his attention first.
Yod
Two planets in easy contact both point awkwardly at a third, which becomes the focus: a talent that takes constant adjusting.
In his chart, his heart (Venus in Aquarius) and his drive (Mars in Sagittarius) both point at his optimism (Jupiter in Cancer), the part of him that keeps needing adjustment and gives his life its focus.
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.
Jupiter opposition Uranus exact at 0.0°
Restless hope: he wants more freedom than any situation gives, and big changes come suddenly.
Pluto square North Node almost exact at 0.1°
Old attachments hold him back from the way forward, and he grows by letting some things go.
Venus quincunx Jupiter almost exact at 0.8°
His taste and his appetite for more need adjusting: he keeps learning what is enough.
Venus sextile Mars close at 1.2°
Charm and desire work together: he knows what he wants in love and how to win it.
Saturn sextile Pluto close at 1.7°
Endurance: he can work through hard times, and what he builds survives pressure.
The Sun opposition Jupiter close at 1.8°
He reaches for more than one life can hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
