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 Pisces
The Dreamer. Gentle, dreamy and deep.
13°31′
Moon in Pisces
The Moon moved from Pisces into Aries at 11:15 p.m. that day, local time: in Pisces for a birth before then, in Aries for one after.

The Tender Heart. Love without limits.

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 Gemini
The direction his life grows in: Gemini, curious and quick-witted.
18°49′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
18°00′
Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.
16°04′
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 drive, his independence and his intensity (Mars, Uranus and Pluto) gather in Virgo, 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 opposition Mars almost exact at 0.1°
Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argues well, sometimes too well, and a debate is a kind of sport to him.
Mars trine Jupiter almost exact at 0.3°
Big drive and big confidence: he goes after large goals, and his enthusiasm carries others along.
Mercury sextile Jupiter almost exact at 0.3°
A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learns easily, tells a good story and sees the big picture.
Jupiter opposition Neptune almost exact at 0.5°
His hopes run ahead of what is real, and he learns to check a beautiful idea against the facts.
The Sun opposition Uranus almost exact at 0.8°
He needs room to be himself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.
Mars sextile Neptune almost exact at 0.8°
He works for ideals: his drive comes alive for a cause, a role or a dream.

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 fire at all, so the bold first move comes by choice rather than by instinct.
No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through takes deliberate effort.
