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.
10°50′
Moon in Taurus
The Moon moved from Taurus into Gemini at 7:02 p.m. that day, local time: in Taurus for a birth before then, in Gemini for one after.
26°26′

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.
25°21′
Chiron in Gemini
In Gemini, Chiron is an old fear of not being heard, which becomes a gift for finding the words others lack.
2°34′
Black Moon Lilith in Cancer
In Cancer, Lilith is a fierce need to belong, and no wish to look after anyone on command.
1°25′
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 mind, his heart and his drive (Mercury, Venus and Mars) 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.
Uranus square Pluto almost exact at 0.1°
Upheaval and the urge to break free run strong, and he pushes for change rather than waiting for it.
Uranus sextile North Node almost exact at 0.6°
Change helps him forward: he grows by trying the new.
Pluto quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.6°
He keeps giving up a little control to keep growing.
The Sun square Saturn almost exact at 0.8°
Self-belief comes slowly and has to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counts.
The Sun sextile Neptune close at 1.1°
Imagination and identity work together: he can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
The Moon square North Node close at 1.1°
Home comforts and the way forward ask for different things, and growing means leaving some familiar things behind.

Venus sextile North Node close at 1.4°
Love and friendship move him forward: the people he cares for help him find his way.
Jupiter trine Saturn close at 1.5°
Hope and caution in balance: he dreams big and plans carefully, and both help.
Saturn quincunx Neptune close at 1.9°
Duty and dreams keep trading places as the priority.
Venus trine Uranus close at 1.9°
He loves the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.
Venus quincunx Pluto close at 2.0°
Affection and the need for control keep getting in each other’s way, and trust takes him time.
Mars square Neptune wide at 6.4°
Drive and dreams mix uneasily: the goal is clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.
Mars trine Uranus wide at 6.5°
Quick and inventive in action: he moves fast, breaks with habit and makes sudden changes work.
