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 Pisces
The Dreamer. Gentle, dreamy and deep.
11°28′
Moon in Taurus
The Moon moved from Taurus into Gemini at 10:02 p.m. that day, local time: in Taurus for a birth before then, in Gemini for one after.
24°17′
Mercury in Pisces
The Poet. Knowing without explaining.
7°54′
Venus in Capricorn
The Loyal Partner. Love built to last.
28°23′
Mars in Sagittarius
The Champion. The long shot.

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 Aquarius
The direction his life grows in: Aquarius, independent and original.
23°30′
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.
8°10′
Black Moon Lilith in Virgo
In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.
19°59′
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 drive, his optimism and his imagination (Mars, Jupiter and Neptune) gather in Sagittarius, and that part of life draws 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.
Venus trine Pluto almost exact at 0.4°
He loves with depth and loyalty, and the bonds he forms change both people.
Mars sextile North Node almost exact at 0.6°
Courage moves him forward, and each bold step takes him further along his path.
The Moon square North Node almost exact at 0.8°
Home comforts and the way forward ask for different things, and growing means leaving some familiar things behind.
The Sun quincunx Uranus close at 1.3°
His restlessness keeps testing his plans, so he changes course more than once to stay true to himself.
Mercury square Jupiter close at 2.1°
Big ideas and loose details: he thinks on a large scale, and the small print is where things get away from him.
Jupiter conjunction Neptune close at 2.7°
A dreamer’s faith: he believes in something larger, and his compassion and his hopes go together.

The Sun conjunction Mercury wide at 3.6°
His mind and his identity are close together: he speaks as he thinks, and his ideas are part of who he is.
Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 4.2°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Mars square Pluto wide at 4.8°
A fierce will: he meets opposition head on, and a fight brings out his full strength.
Mercury square Neptune wide at 4.8°
Facts and dreams blur together in his mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details matter.
The Sun square Jupiter wide at 5.7°
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 sextile Saturn wide at 6.0°
Purpose and patience work as a team: he builds slowly and gets better with every year.
Saturn square North Node wide at 6.0°
Duty and growth compete: what he owes others and where he needs to go call for hard choices.
The Sun square Neptune wide at 8.4°
The self he knows and the image others see drift apart at times, and he works to keep hold of the real one.
