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 Aquarius
The Free Thinker. Original, free and humane.
20°14′
Moon in Taurus
The Moon moved from Aries into Taurus at 9:54 a.m. that day, local time: in Aries for a birth before then, in Taurus for one after.
1°13′
Mercury in Aquarius
The Inventor. The original thinker.
28°45′
Venus in Aquarius
The Kindred Spirit. Friend first, lover too.
5°26′
Mars in Sagittarius
The Champion. The long shot.

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.
16°16′
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.
13°50′
Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Lilith is a free mind that keeps only the beliefs it chose.
9°13′
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 heart (the Sun, Mercury and Venus) gather in Aquarius, and that part of life draws 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.
Mercury sextile Mars almost exact at 0.9°
A quick, direct mind: he makes decisions fast and says what he means.
Venus trine Pluto close at 1.3°
He loves with depth and loyalty, and the bonds he forms change both people.
Venus sextile Neptune close at 1.8°
A romantic with an artist’s eye: he sees the beauty in people and makes it visible to others.
Saturn quincunx North Node close at 2.6°
Responsibility and growth need steady balancing, and he learns which duties to keep.
The Sun trine Uranus close at 2.8°
Independence comes easily: he does things his own way, and people find it refreshing rather than rude.
Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 3.1°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Jupiter square Uranus wide at 3.9°
Restless hope: he wants more freedom than any situation gives, and big changes come suddenly.
Mercury trine Uranus wide at 5.8°
A quick, original mind: ideas arrive in flashes, and he sees answers others miss.
Mars square Pluto wide at 6.3°
A fierce will: he meets opposition head on, and a fight brings out his full strength.
Saturn opposition Neptune wide at 6.4°
The dream and the hard work seldom agree on terms: his discipline and his imagination ask different things of him.
The Sun trine Saturn wide at 6.6°
Purpose and patience work as a team: he builds slowly and gets better with every year.
Uranus square North Node wide at 6.7°
The way forward asks for steadiness, and the urge for change keeps breaking in.
The Sun conjunction Mercury wide at 8.5°
His mind and his identity are close together: he speaks as he thinks, and his ideas are part of who he is.

What’s this?Close
The chart’s balance at a glance: which of the four elements and three modes it leans on, which body is most connected, and any body standing alone.

The Moon changed sign that day; it is counted where it stood at noon.
No water at all, so feelings come out in actions more than in words.
