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 Scorpio
The Detective. Intense, private and loyal.
24°41′
Moon in Pisces
The Moon moved from Pisces into Aries at 10:31 p.m. that day, local time: in Pisces for a birth before then, in Aries for one after.
24°16′
Mercury in Scorpio
The Investigator. Hears what was left out.
16°58′
Venus in Scorpio
The Devotee. All or nothing.
24°58′
Mars in Scorpio
The Strategist. Will under a still surface.

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.
0°29′
Chiron in Leo
In Leo, Chiron is a quiet doubt about deserving the light, and a gift for helping others shine without apology.
28°45′
Black Moon Lilith in Cancer
In Cancer, Lilith is a fierce need to belong, and no wish to look after anyone on command.
9°09′
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, his heart and his drive (the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars) gather in Scorpio, and that part of life draws his attention first.
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 feelings and his optimism (the Sun in Scorpio, the Moon in Pisces and Jupiter in Cancer) make the triangle, so these come to him naturally.

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.
Venus trine Jupiter almost exact at 0.2°
Affection comes to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism help each other.
The Sun conjunction Venus almost exact at 0.3°
Charm comes naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things are close to his core.
The Sun trine the Moon almost exact at 0.4°
His purpose and his feelings are on the same side: the life he chooses and the comfort he needs go together.
Mars quincunx Saturn almost exact at 0.5°
When to push and when to wait takes constant judging, and he learns timing the hard way.
The Sun trine Jupiter almost exact at 0.5°
His confidence comes easily and spreads: he thinks big, and other people want to come along.
The Moon trine Venus almost exact at 0.7°
He puts people at ease without trying: kindness and charm come from the same place.

He needs room to be himself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.
Chart signature
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.

Modes
The Moon changed sign that day; it is counted where it stood at noon.
No earth at all, so the practical, settled side is the one he has to find.
