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 Libra
The Diplomat. Grace, fairness and balance.
19°50′
Moon in Virgo
The Moon moved from Leo into Virgo at 6:44 a.m. that day, local time: in Leo for a birth before then, in Virgo for one after.
2°39′
Mercury in Libra
The Mediator. Both sides of the question.
24°20′
Venus in Sagittarius
The Adventurer. Love as an adventure.
2°27′
Mars in Libra
The Negotiator. A fighter for fairness.

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 Leo
The direction his life grows in: Leo, warm and dramatic.
1°30′
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.
26°20′
Black Moon Lilith in Leo
In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.
3°26′
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 drive (the Sun, Mercury and Mars) gather in Libra, and that part of life drew 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 optimism (Jupiter in Capricorn) and his intensity (Pluto in Cancer) face each other across the wheel, and his identity (the Sun in Libra) took the strain: the part of him that worked 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.
Mercury sextile Neptune almost exact at 0.1°
He thought in pictures and music: his words carried a mood, and his imagination gave his ideas colour.
The Moon square Venus almost exact at 0.2°
What comforted him and what he loved were different things, so his heart and his moods kept negotiating.
Jupiter opposition Pluto almost exact at 0.2°
He wanted more power than came easily, and the struggle for it shaped his life.
Jupiter sextile Saturn almost exact at 0.7°
Hope and caution in balance: he dreamed big and planned carefully, and both helped.
Saturn trine Pluto almost exact at 0.9°
Endurance: he could work through hard times, and what he built survived pressure.
Venus trine North Node close at 1.0°
Love and friendship moved him forward: the people he cared for helped him find his way.

Uranus quincunx Neptune close at 1.8°
Sudden change and slow dreams kept adjusting to each other.
Mercury quincunx Uranus close at 1.9°
Ordinary logic and sudden insight needed constant translating, and he spent time explaining how he got there.
The Sun quincunx Uranus close at 2.6°
His restlessness kept testing his plans, so he changed course more than once to stay true to himself.
The Sun sextile Neptune wide at 4.4°
Imagination and identity worked together: he could become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
The Sun conjunction Mercury wide at 4.5°
His mind and his identity were close together: he spoke as he thought, and his ideas were part of who he was.
Mars square Jupiter wide at 4.8°
He took on more than any one person could, and his boldness ran ahead of his plans.
Mars square Pluto wide at 5.1°
A fierce will: he met opposition head on, and a fight brought out his full strength.
The Sun square Pluto wide at 5.1°
Nothing about him was halfway: he insisted on running his own life, and the struggle made him formidable.
The Sun square Jupiter wide at 5.3°
He reached for more than one life could hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
