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 Aries
The Pioneer. First in, first to try.
5°05′
Moon in Gemini
The Moon moved from Gemini into Cancer at 2:05 p.m. that day, local time: in Gemini for a birth before then, in Cancer for one after.
28°51′
Mercury in Aries
The Spark. First to speak.
15°48′
Venus in Aquarius
The Kindred Spirit. Friend first, lover too.
24°02′
Mars in Cancer
The Defender. Fierce for its own.

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 Aries
The direction his life grows in: Aries, bold and direct.
14°25′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
15°51′
Black Moon Lilith in Pisces
In Pisces, Lilith is a dreamer who wants no rescuing, with a private world all its own.
15°14′
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 independence (the Sun, Mercury and Uranus) gather in Aries, and that part of life drew his attention first.
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 conjunction North Node almost exact at 0.3°
An unusual path: his direction in life came through sudden turns and fresh starts.
Mercury conjunction Uranus close at 1.1°
He thought in leaps: brilliant, contrary and quick to get bored with the obvious.
Mercury conjunction North Node close at 1.4°
Ideas and talk set his course: he found his direction by learning and talking things through.
The Sun quincunx Neptune close at 1.5°
He kept redrawing the line between the life he had and the life he imagined.
Mercury square Pluto close at 2.9°
His words had force: he spoke to persuade, and he kept his own counsel until the right moment.
Jupiter square North Node wide at 3.4°
Easy hopes and the harder way forward went different ways, and real growth came from the harder one.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Saturn opposition Pluto wide at 3.4°
Heavy demands and hard limits: he faced a great deal of pressure and came out tougher for it.
Jupiter square Uranus wide at 3.7°
Restless hope: he wanted more freedom than any situation gave, and big changes came suddenly.
Uranus square Pluto wide at 4.0°
Upheaval and the urge to break free ran strong, and he pushed for change rather than waiting for it.
Pluto square North Node wide at 4.3°
Old attachments held him back from the way forward, and he grew by letting some things go.
Mercury square Jupiter wide at 4.8°
Big ideas and loose details: he thought on a large scale, and the small print was where things got away from him.
The Sun trine Mars wide at 5.8°
His purpose and his drive worked together: once he decided on something, he moved on it fast.
The Sun square Jupiter wide at 6.0°
He reached for more than one life could hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
Mars opposition Saturn wide at 7.2°
Drive with the brakes on: he wanted to move, something held him back, and the friction made him tough.
Jupiter conjunction Pluto wide at 7.7°
Large ambitions and the will to see them through: he worked on a grand scale.
The Sun conjunction North Node wide at 9.3°
His identity and his direction in life lined up: the more fully he became himself, the further he went.
