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 Taurus
The Gardener. Steady, sensual and sure.
1°35′
Moon in Libra
The Moon moved from Libra into Scorpio at 10:11 p.m. that day, local time: in Libra for a birth before then, in Scorpio for one after.
24°36′
Mercury in Taurus
The Careful Thinker. Slow to decide, sure once decided.
19°14′
Venus in Aries
The Chaser. Love at first sight.
8°12′
Mars in Pisces
The Gentle Warrior. Strength that flows round.

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 Scorpio
The direction his life grows in: Scorpio, intense and private.
18°27′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
13°36′
Black Moon Lilith in Leo
In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.
21°58′
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 intensity (the Sun, Mercury and Pluto) gather in Taurus, and that part of life drew 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 opposition North Node almost exact at 0.8°
Old ideas and the way forward were at odds, and he learned new ways of thinking to move on.
The Sun sextile Mars close at 1.2°
His purpose and his drive worked together: once he decided on something, he moved on it fast.
Venus conjunction Neptune close at 1.4°
Romance without limits: he fell for ideals as much as people, and his taste ran to the dreamy and the beautiful.
Saturn quincunx Pluto close at 1.9°
He kept adjusting between control and acceptance, and learned where each belonged.
The Moon trine Uranus close at 2.4°
His feelings liked freedom: he needed space in close ties and gave it back just as easily.
Venus opposition Saturn wide at 5.2°
Love felt like something to be earned, and he held back until he was sure of it.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Mercury opposition Jupiter wide at 6.1°
Big ideas and loose details: he thought on a large scale, and the small print was where things got away from him.
Saturn opposition Neptune wide at 6.7°
The dream and the hard work seldom agreed on terms: his discipline and his imagination asked different things of him.
Jupiter conjunction North Node wide at 6.9°
Generosity was part of his path: teaching, travel and big ideas moved him forward.
Pluto opposition North Node wide at 6.9°
Old attachments held him back from the way forward, and he grew by letting some things go.
Chart signature

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.
