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 Virgo
The Fixer. Precise, useful and kind.
22°18′
Moon in Sagittarius
The Moon moved from Scorpio into Sagittarius at 3:06 a.m. that day, local time: in Scorpio for a birth before then, in Sagittarius for one after.
5°19′
Mercury in Libra
The Mediator. Both sides of the question.
13°47′
Venus in Virgo
The Quiet Romantic. Love in small attentions.
23°51′
Mars in Virgo
The Craftsperson. The craftsman’s drive.
9°39′

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 Virgo
The direction his life grows in: Virgo, precise and helpful.
11°27′
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.
19°56′
Black Moon Lilith in Taurus
In Taurus, Lilith is an appetite for pleasure that sees no need to apologise.
8°50′
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 heart and his drive (the Sun, Venus and Mars) gather in Virgo, and that part of life drew his attention first.
Grand trine
Three planets in an easy triangle, each in flowing contact with the other two: a gift that comes without effort.
In his chart, his optimism, his independence and his intensity (Jupiter in Scorpio, Uranus in Pisces and Pluto in Cancer) make the triangle, so these came to him naturally.
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.
Saturn sextile Neptune almost exact at 0.2°
Practical dreams: he gave ideals a shape and worked to make them real.
Jupiter trine Uranus almost exact at 0.4°
Sudden openings: he spotted new chances early and jumped at them.
Pluto sextile North Node almost exact at 0.8°
Deep change helped him forward: each time he started over, he went further.
Mercury quincunx Uranus close at 1.5°
Ordinary logic and sudden insight needed constant translating, and he spent time explaining how he got there.
The Sun conjunction Venus close at 1.6°
Charm came naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things were close to his core.
Mercury square Pluto close at 1.6°
His words had force: he spoke to persuade, and he kept his own counsel until the right moment.
