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.

Beyond the planetsNorth Node in Sagittarius, Chiron and Lilith
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 Sagittarius

    The direction his life grows in: Sagittarius, free and far-ranging.

    3°48′

  • 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.

    5°44′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio

    In Scorpio, Lilith is an intensity and a private power that stay unexplained.

    12°37′

The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.

PatternsStellium, Stellium
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 Taurus, and that part of life drew his attention first.

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 intensity (Venus, Jupiter and Pluto) gather in Cancer, and that part of life drew his attention first.

Aspects by strength16 between the planets, the closest first
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 conjunction Pluto almost exact at 0.7°

    A deep, private heart: he drew people in and kept some feelings locked away.

  • Mercury sextile Uranus almost exact at 0.7°

    A quick, original mind: ideas arrived in flashes, and he saw answers others missed.

  • Venus quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.7°

    He kept adjusting what he wanted from people to fit the life he was growing into.

  • Mars square Saturn close at 1.3°

    Drive with the brakes on: he wanted to move, something held him back, and the friction made him tough.

  • Pluto quincunx North Node close at 1.4°

    He kept giving up a little control to keep growing.

  • The Sun conjunction Mars close at 1.7°

    Purpose and drive in one place: he was quick to start, quick to compete and hard to stop.

  • Uranus square North Node close at 2.3°

    The way forward asked for steadiness, and the urge for change kept breaking in.

  • The Sun square Saturn close at 3.0°

    Self-belief came slowly and had to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counted.

    He loved the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.

  • Uranus trine Pluto wide at 3.6°

    He could help change things at the root, and upheaval suited him.

  • Mercury sextile Venus wide at 3.6°

    A graceful mind: he spoke kindly and well, and he knew how to say a hard thing gently.

  • Mercury sextile Pluto wide at 4.3°

    A probing mind: he got to the bottom of things, and his words had power when he chose to use them.

  • Mercury square Neptune wide at 5.9°

    Facts and dreams blurred together in his mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details mattered.

  • The Sun square Uranus wide at 6.8°

    He needed room to be himself, and any rule that fit too tightly got broken.

  • The Sun opposition North Node wide at 9.0°

    Being himself and growing asked for different things, and his biggest steps forward came when he stretched past his habits.
