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 Aries
The Pioneer. First in, first to try.
13°42′
Moon in Aries
The Quick Flame. Quick to flare, quick to forgive.
7°24′
Mercury in Aries
The Spark. First to speak.
26°22′

The Keeper. Slow, sensual and loyal.
28°21′
Mars in Capricorn
The Achiever. The disciplined climb.

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 Virgo
The direction his life grows in: Virgo, precise and helpful.
1°36′
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.
20°05′
Black Moon Lilith in Gemini
In Gemini, Lilith is the quick tongue that says out loud what the room only thinks.
1°17′
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 and his mind (the Sun, the Moon and Mercury) gather in Aries, and that part of life drew his attention first.
T-square
Two planets pull against each other, and a third stands at right angles to both, where the strain gathers.
In his chart, his drive (Mars in Capricorn) and his intensity (Pluto in Cancer) face each other across the wheel, and his identity (the Sun in Aries) took the strain: the part of him that worked hardest.
Grand trine
Three planets in an easy triangle, each in flowing contact with the other two: a gift that comes without effort.
In his chart, his identity, his optimism and his imagination (the Sun in Aries, Jupiter in Sagittarius and Neptune in Leo) make the triangle, so these came to him naturally.
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 drive (Mars in Capricorn) and his independence (Uranus in Pisces) both point at his imagination (Neptune in Leo), the part of him that kept needing adjustment and gave 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.
Mars quincunx Neptune almost exact at 0.3°
His drive and his imagination spoke different languages: he went after something before he could say what it was.
Jupiter square Uranus almost exact at 0.9°
Restless hope: he wanted more freedom than any situation gave, and big changes came suddenly.
Uranus quincunx Neptune close at 1.2°
Sudden change and slow dreams kept adjusting to each other.
Saturn sextile North Node close at 1.4°
Discipline helped him grow: patience and hard work kept him on course.
Mars sextile Uranus close at 1.6°
Quick and inventive in action: he moved fast, broke with habit and made sudden changes work.
Venus quincunx Saturn close at 1.8°
He kept weighing pleasure against duty, and joy came once the work was done.

Venus square North Node wide at 3.2°
What felt comfortable in love and what helped him grow were different things, and he chose between them more than once.

He fought hard for what he wanted, and his temper was part of his courage.
Mercury opposition Saturn wide at 3.8°
He doubted his own ideas before anyone else could, and so he checked every one twice.

Mercury trine North Node wide at 5.2°
His way with words helped him find his direction, and the right ideas came at the right time.
The Sun trine Jupiter wide at 6.2°

A fierce will: he met opposition head on, and a fight brought out his full strength.
