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 Gemini
The Messenger. Curious and many-sided.
5°49′
Moon in Aries
The Moon moved from Pisces into Aries at 6:32 a.m. that day, local time: in Pisces for a birth before then, in Aries for one after.
3°17′
Mercury in Gemini
The Quick Wit. The messenger at home.
25°16′
Venus in Cancer
The Nurturer. Love that makes a home.
4°52′
Mars in Capricornretrograde
The Achiever. The disciplined climb.

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.
15°28′
Chiron in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Chiron is the feeling of having grown up too soon, and a gift for showing others how to stand on their own.
28°21′
Black Moon Lilith in Libra
In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.
27°59′
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 heart, his optimism and his independence (Venus, Jupiter and Uranus) gather in Cancer, 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 drive (Mars in Capricorn) and his discipline (Saturn in Scorpio) both point at his identity (the Sun in Gemini), 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.
Venus trine Saturn close at 1.0°
Loyal in love: he chooses carefully, and what he builds with people lasts.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.0°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
The Moon square Venus close at 1.6°
What comforts him and what he loves are different things, so his heart and his moods keep negotiating.
Mercury trine Neptune close at 1.6°
He thinks in pictures and music: his words carry a mood, and his imagination gives his ideas colour.
The Sun quincunx Saturn close at 1.9°
The wish to shine and the wish to be careful need steady adjusting: he moves forward a step, then checks it.
The Sun quincunx Mars close at 2.6°
Aim and action run at different speeds, and he spends real effort keeping them in step.
