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.

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.
23°31′
Chiron in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Chiron is a restless question about what it all means, and a gift for lending others a wider view.
4°20′
Black Moon Lilith in Aries
In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.
7°15′
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 Gemini, 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 identity (the Sun in Gemini) and his discipline (Saturn in Virgo) both point at his optimism (Jupiter in Aquarius), 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.
Jupiter quincunx Uranus almost exact at 0.1°
His hopes and his restlessness keep changing places, and he redraws his plans more than once.
The Moon conjunction North Node almost exact at 0.7°
His instincts lead the way: following his feelings is how he finds his direction.
Jupiter quincunx Saturn almost exact at 0.7°
When to expand and when to hold back takes constant rethinking.
Saturn sextile Uranus almost exact at 0.8°
Old and new sit well together: he can change things without throwing out what works.
The Sun conjunction Uranus close at 1.6°
Born original: his identity and his need for freedom are the same thing, and he surprises people, himself included.
The Sun quincunx Jupiter close at 1.7°
He keeps fitting his ambitions to his purpose, and some big plans have to wait.

Mercury conjunction Mars close at 1.9°

Neptune sextile Pluto close at 2.4°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
The Sun sextile Saturn close at 2.4°
Purpose and patience work as a team: he builds slowly and gets better with every year.
Mercury trine Neptune close at 2.9°
He thinks in pictures and music: his words carry a mood, and his imagination gives his ideas colour.
Venus square Neptune wide at 3.8°
He loves the dream of a person, and the real one has to compete with it.
Mars trine Neptune wide at 4.8°
He works for ideals: his drive comes alive for a cause, a role or a dream.
The Sun sextile North Node wide at 5.5°
The direction his life takes suits him: being himself and growing go hand in hand.
Mars square Saturn wide at 6.1°
Drive with the brakes on: he wants to move, something holds him back, and the friction makes him tough.
