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 Virgo
The Fixer. Precise, useful and kind.
4°02′
Moon in Virgo
The Mender. Care in the details.
12°40′

The Analyst. The editor’s eye.
10°52′
Venus in Cancer
The Nurturer. Love that makes a home.
19°33′

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 Cancer
The direction his life grows in: Cancer, protective and caring.
3°17′
Chiron in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.
20°08′
Black Moon Lilith in Leo
In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.
26°24′
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 feelings, his mind and his drive (the Sun, the Moon, Mercury and Mars) gather in Virgo, 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.
The Moon trine Uranus almost exact at 0.5°
His feelings liked freedom: he needed space in close ties and gave it back just as easily.
The Sun sextile North Node almost exact at 0.7°
The direction his life took suited him: being himself and growing went hand in hand.
Jupiter sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.9°
Ambition with depth: he knew how to build influence, and he used it to make big changes.
Mars sextile North Node close at 1.1°
Courage moved him forward, and each bold step took him further along his path.
Mercury quincunx Saturn close at 1.8°
Speaking freely and speaking carefully took constant balancing, and he weighed words before letting them go.
The Moon conjunction Mercury close at 1.8°
He thought with his feelings: memory, mood and wit came together, and his words gave away what he felt.

Uranus opposition Neptune wide at 3.1°
The urge for change and the longing for ideals clashed, and he lived with both.

Mars conjunction Jupiter wide at 5.6°
Enthusiasm at full speed: he charged at life with confidence, and setbacks slowed him only briefly.
Saturn square North Node wide at 5.8°
Duty and growth competed: what he owed others and where he needed to go called for hard choices.

Love came in sudden starts and stops: he fell for people quickly and needed room just as quickly.
The Sun conjunction Mercury wide at 6.8°
His mind and his identity were close together: he spoke as he thought, and his ideas were part of who he was.

Pluto conjunction North Node wide at 7.6°
