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.
6°10′
Moon in Virgo
The Moon moved from Leo into Virgo at 9:48 a.m. that day, local time: in Leo for a birth before then, in Virgo for one after.
1°08′
Mercury in Geminiretrograde
The Quick Wit. The messenger at home.
11°56′
Venus in Taurus
The Keeper. Slow, sensual and loyal.

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 Capricorn
The direction his life grows in: Capricorn, ambitious and patient.
3°50′
Chiron in Gemini
In Gemini, Chiron is an old fear of not being heard, which becomes a gift for finding the words others lack.
16°00′
Black Moon Lilith in Libra
In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.
15°37′
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 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.
Jupiter square Saturn almost exact at 0.1°
Growth and caution kept checking each other: he moved forward in bursts, then paused to consolidate.
Venus sextile Pluto close at 1.6°
He loved with depth and loyalty, and the bonds he formed changed both people.
Mercury conjunction Mars close at 1.9°
He thought fast and spoke faster: his mind liked a contest, and his words had an edge.
Mercury square Neptune close at 2.1°
Facts and dreams blurred together in his mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details mattered.
The Sun quincunx North Node close at 2.3°
The way forward asked him to bend habits that felt like part of who he was.
The Moon trine North Node close at 2.7°
What comforted him also moved him forward: his instincts pointed the right way.

Uranus trine North Node wide at 3.4°
Change helped him forward: he grew by trying the new.
The Sun conjunction Mars wide at 3.8°
Purpose and drive in one place: he was quick to start, quick to compete and hard to stop.
Mars square Neptune wide at 4.0°
Drive and dreams mixed uneasily: the goal was clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.
Saturn trine Pluto wide at 4.2°
Endurance: he could work through hard times, and what he built survived pressure.
The Sun conjunction Mercury wide at 5.8°
His mind and his identity were close together: he spoke as he thought, and his ideas were part of who he was.
Uranus trine Neptune wide at 6.7°
Change and idealism went together: new ideas came wrapped in dreams of a better world.
Saturn opposition Neptune wide at 7.4°
The dream and the hard work seldom agreed on terms: his discipline and his imagination asked different things of him.
The Sun square Neptune wide at 7.8°
The self he knew and the image others saw drifted apart at times, and he worked to keep hold of the real one.
The Sun conjunction Venus wide at 8.9°
Charm came naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things were close to his core.
