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 Libra
The Diplomat. Grace, fairness and balance.
2°27′
Moon in Capricorn
The Moon moved from Sagittarius into Capricorn at 3:56 a.m. that day, local time: in Sagittarius for a birth before then, in Capricorn for one after.
4°25′
Mercury in Virgo
The Analyst. The editor’s eye.
15°03′
Venus in Libra
The Sweetheart. Grace, romance and balance.
26°49′
Mars in Libra
The Negotiator. A fighter for fairness.

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 Cancer
The direction his life grows in: Cancer, protective and caring.
25°05′
Chiron in Virgo
In Virgo, Chiron is the sense that no effort is ever quite enough, and a gift for patient, practical help.
23°07′
Black Moon Lilith in Virgo
In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.
24°28′
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 heart, his drive and his imagination (the Sun, Venus, Mars and Neptune) gather in Libra, 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.
Jupiter square Uranus almost exact at 0.1°
Restless hope: he wants more freedom than any situation gives, and big changes come suddenly.
The Moon square Neptune almost exact at 0.5°
His feelings and his imagination pull in different directions: he lives between what is real and what he longs for.
The Sun conjunction Neptune close at 1.5°
He takes in moods, music and other people’s hopes, and gives them back as something new.
Venus square North Node close at 1.7°
What feels comfortable in love and what helps him grow are different things, and he chooses between them more than once.
Mercury conjunction Jupiter close at 1.9°
He loves ideas, the bigger the better, and he can talk anyone into hoping.
Mercury square Uranus close at 1.9°
His mind runs ahead of the conversation: he says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
The Sun square the Moon close at 2.0°
The self he shows the world and the self he comes home to want different things, and he makes room for both.
Jupiter sextile Saturn wide at 3.1°
Hope and caution in balance: he dreams big and plans carefully, and both help.
Uranus sextile Pluto wide at 3.3°
He can help change things at the root, and upheaval suits him.
Mars trine Uranus wide at 4.9°
Quick and inventive in action: he moves fast, breaks with habit and makes sudden changes work.
Saturn square Neptune wide at 6.2°
The dream and the hard work seldom agree on terms: his discipline and his imagination ask different things of him.
The Sun square Saturn wide at 7.6°
Self-belief comes slowly and has to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counts.
