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.
12°09′
Moon in Virgo
The Mender. Care in the details.
9°08′
Mercury in Scorpio
The Investigator. Hears what was left out.
5°02′
Venus in Libra
The Sweetheart. Grace, romance and balance.
22°34′
Mars in Capricorn
Mars moved from Capricorn into Aquarius at 12:51 p.m. that day, local time: in Capricorn for a birth before then, in Aquarius for one after.

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 Pisces
The direction his life grows in: Pisces, dreamy and compassionate.
19°51′
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.
3°03′
Black Moon Lilith in Cancer
In Cancer, Lilith is a fierce need to belong, and no wish to look after anyone on command.
26°23′
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 imagination (the Sun, Mercury and Neptune) gather in Scorpio, 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 heart, his optimism and his independence (Venus, Jupiter and Uranus) gather in Libra, and that part of life draws 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 mind (Mercury in Scorpio) and his discipline (Saturn in Taurus) face each other across the wheel, and his drive (Mars in Capricorn) takes the strain: the part of him that works hardest.
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 opposition Saturn almost exact at 0.1°
He doubts his own ideas before anyone else can, and so he checks every one twice.
Venus conjunction Jupiter almost exact at 0.6°
A generous heart: love and good company come to him easily, and he shares both.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.3°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Saturn quincunx Uranus close at 1.8°
When to keep the rules and when to break them takes constant deciding.
Jupiter quincunx North Node close at 2.1°
Some hopes have to be let go to fit the way forward, and he chooses which ones.
Mars sextile Neptune close at 2.1°
He works for ideals: his drive comes alive for a cause, a role or a dream.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Mars trine Pluto wide at 3.4°
Stamina and willpower: he keeps going long after others stop, and he does his best work under pressure.
Mars square Saturn wide at 5.0°
Drive with the brakes on: he wants to move, something holds him back, and the friction makes him tough.
Mercury square Mars wide at 5.1°
Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argues well, sometimes too well, and a debate is a kind of sport to him.
Pluto opposition North Node wide at 6.7°
Old attachments hold him back from the way forward, and he grows by letting some things go.
The Sun conjunction Mercury wide at 7.1°
His mind and his identity are close together: he speaks as he thinks, and his ideas are part of who he is.
The Sun opposition Saturn wide at 7.2°
Self-belief comes slowly and has to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counts.
The Sun trine North Node wide at 7.7°
The direction his life takes suits him: being himself and growing go hand in hand.
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.

No fire at all, so the bold first move comes by choice rather than by instinct.
