The chart, fact by fact
Planets

Sun in Capricorn
The Architect. Ambitious, patient and dry.

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°22′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
25°58′
Black Moon Lilith in Taurus
In Taurus, Lilith is an appetite for pleasure that sees no need to apologise.
12°40′
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 optimism, his independence and his intensity (Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto) gather in Virgo, 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 mind (Mercury in Aquarius) and his discipline (Saturn in Aries) both point at his optimism (Jupiter in Virgo), 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.
The Sun square North Node almost exact at 0.2°
Being himself and growing ask for different things, and his biggest steps forward come when he stretches past his habits.
Pluto quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.6°
He keeps giving up a little control to keep growing.
The Sun trine Pluto almost exact at 0.8°
A quiet strength: under pressure he grows more focused, and he knows how to start over.
Mars opposition Jupiter almost exact at 0.8°
He takes on more than any one person can, and his boldness runs ahead of his plans.
Mercury quincunx Jupiter almost exact at 0.9°
The facts and the bigger picture need constant reconciling, and he keeps checking one against the other.
Jupiter quincunx Saturn close at 1.9°
When to expand and when to hold back takes constant rethinking.

The Sun sextile Neptune close at 2.4°

Neptune quincunx North Node close at 2.6°

Mercury sextile Saturn close at 2.8°

Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 3.2°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.

The Sun trine Uranus wide at 5.6°
Independence comes easily: he does things his own way, and people find it refreshing rather than rude.
Uranus conjunction Pluto wide at 6.4°
Born into a time of upheaval: he wants radical change, and wants it at once.
Saturn opposition Uranus wide at 7.7°
Tradition and rebellion fight in him: he wants security and freedom, and can rarely have both at once.
