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.
3°27′
Moon in Leo
The Moon moved from Leo into Virgo at 6:06 p.m. that day, local time: in Leo for a birth before then, in Virgo for one after.
26°26′
Mercury in Pisces
The Poet. Knowing without explaining.
10°41′
Venus in Pisces
The Tender Heart. Love without limits.
28°00′
Mars in Gemini
The Multitasker. Quick with the comeback.

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 Libra
The direction his life grows in: Libra, graceful and fair.
13°38′
Chiron in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.
23°24′
Black Moon Lilith in Taurus
In Taurus, Lilith is an appetite for pleasure that sees no need to apologise.
10°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 mind and his heart (the Sun, Mercury and Venus) gather in Pisces, and that part of life draws his attention first.
T-square
Two planets pull against each other, and a third stands at right angles to both, where the strain gathers.
In his chart, his drive (Mars in Gemini) and his optimism (Jupiter in Sagittarius) face each other across the wheel, and his identity (the Sun in Pisces) takes the strain: the part of him that works hardest.
T-square
Two planets pull against each other, and a third stands at right angles to both, where the strain gathers.
In his chart, his drive (Mars in Gemini) and his optimism (Jupiter in Sagittarius) face each other across the wheel, and his intensity (Pluto in Virgo) takes the strain: the part of him that works hardest.
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 discipline (Saturn in Capricorn) and his imagination (Neptune in Scorpio) both point at his drive (Mars in Gemini), the part of him that keeps needing adjustment and gives his life its focus.
Grand cross
Four planets in a square, two pairs pulling against each other: strain on every side, and great staying power.
In his chart, his identity, his drive, his optimism and his intensity (the Sun in Pisces, Mars in Gemini, Jupiter in Sagittarius and Pluto in Virgo) make the cross, and he learns to hold all four at once.
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.
Uranus sextile North Node almost exact at 0.1°
Change helps him forward: he grows by trying the new.
The Sun opposition Pluto almost exact at 0.5°
Nothing about him is halfway: he insists on running his own life, and the struggle makes him formidable.
Mars quincunx Saturn almost exact at 0.7°
When to push and when to wait takes constant judging, and he learns timing the hard way.
Mars quincunx Neptune close at 1.3°
His drive and his imagination speak different languages: he goes after something before he can say what it is.
The Sun sextile Saturn close at 1.4°
Purpose and patience work as a team: he builds slowly and gets better with every year.
Jupiter square Pluto close at 1.9°
He wants more power than comes easily, and the struggle for it shapes his life.
