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 Scorpio
The Detective. Intense, private and loyal.
5°32′
Moon in Sagittarius
The Moon moved from Scorpio into Sagittarius at 12:59 a.m. that day, local time: in Scorpio for a birth before then, in Sagittarius for one after.
5°26′
Mercury in Scorpioretrograde
The Investigator. Hears what was left out.
6°25′
Venus in Scorpioretrograde
The Devotee. All or nothing.

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.
7°16′
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.
23°36′
Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Lilith is an intensity and a private power that stay unexplained.
15°18′
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.
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 Aquarius) and his optimism and his independence (Jupiter and Uranus, together in Cancer) face each other across the wheel, and his identity (the Sun in Scorpio) takes the strain: the part of him that works hardest.
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.
The Moon sextile Mars almost exact at 0.2°
His feelings turn straight into action: when something matters, he does something about it.
The Sun square Mars almost exact at 0.3°
He fights hard for what he wants, and his temper is part of his courage.
Venus trine Jupiter almost exact at 0.4°
Affection comes to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism help each other.
Neptune sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.4°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Mercury sextile North Node almost exact at 0.9°
His way with words helps him find his direction, and the right ideas come at the right time.
The Sun conjunction Mercury almost exact at 0.9°
His mind and his identity are close together: he speaks as he thinks, and his ideas are part of who he is.
