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.

Beyond the planetsNorth Node in Libra, Chiron and Lilith
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 Libra

    The direction his life grows in: Libra, graceful and fair.

    12°55′

  • Chiron in Cancer

    In Cancer, Chiron is an early longing to belong somewhere, and a knack for making strangers feel at home.

    24°43′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Aries

    In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.

    5°57′

The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.

PatternsStellium, Stellium
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 drive and his intensity (the Sun, the Moon, Mars and Pluto) gather in Leo, and that part of life draws his attention first.

Stellium

Three or more planets gathered in one sign or one house, so that part of the chart speaks loudest.

In his chart, his optimism, his discipline and his independence (Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus) gather in Taurus, and that part of life draws his attention first.

Aspects by strength16 between the planets, the closest first
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 conjunction Saturn almost exact at 0.2°

    Optimism with a plan: his hopes are practical, and he builds them slowly into something real.

  • Mercury sextile Uranus close at 1.0°

    A quick, original mind: ideas arrive in flashes, and he sees answers others miss.

  • Jupiter quincunx North Node close at 1.1°

    Some hopes have to be let go to fit the way forward, and he chooses which ones.

  • Mercury sextile Neptune close at 1.1°

    He thinks in pictures and music: his words carry a mood, and his imagination gives his ideas colour.

  • Saturn quincunx North Node close at 1.4°

    Responsibility and growth need steady balancing, and he learns which duties to keep.

  • The Sun sextile North Node close at 1.8°

    The direction his life takes suits him: being himself and growing go hand in hand.

Show more aspectsShow fewer
  • Uranus trine Neptune close at 2.1°

    Change and idealism go together: new ideas come wrapped in dreams of a better world.

  • The Sun conjunction the Moon close at 2.3°

    Born near a new Moon, so what he wants and what he needs move as one: single-minded, and hard to talk out of anything.

  • The Sun square Jupiter close at 2.9°

    He reaches for more than one life can hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.

  • The Sun square Saturn wide at 3.2°

    Self-belief comes slowly and has to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counts.

  • Mars square Saturn wide at 5.5°

    Drive with the brakes on: he wants to move, something holds him back, and the friction makes him tough.

  • Mars square Jupiter wide at 5.8°

    He takes on more than any one person can, and his boldness runs ahead of his plans.

  • Mars square Uranus wide at 6.0°

    Restless and quick to rebel: he pushes against limits, and sudden decisions come with the territory.

  • Mercury conjunction Pluto wide at 7.9°

    He thinks like a detective: nothing is taken at face value, and he remembers everything.

  • The Sun conjunction Pluto wide at 8.4°

    Intensity at the centre: he wants the whole truth about everything, himself first, and he remakes himself more than once to reach it.

  • The Sun conjunction Mars wide at 8.7°

    Purpose and drive in one place: he is quick to start, quick to compete and hard to stop.

Chart signatureMost in fire signs
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.

Elements

Fire · instinct and enthusiasm4
Earth · the practical and the solid4
Air · ideas and people0
Water · feeling and intuition2

Modes

Cardinal · starting things2
Fixed · holding steady7
Mutable · adapting1

No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through takes deliberate effort.
