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 Virgo
The Fixer. Precise, useful and kind.
12°17′
Moon in Scorpio
The Moon moved from Libra into Scorpio at 7:49 a.m. that day, local time: in Libra for a birth before then, in Scorpio 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.
9°51′
Chiron in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Chiron is a restless question about what it all means, and a gift for lending others a wider view.
26°49′
Black Moon Lilith in Cancer
In Cancer, Lilith is a fierce need to belong, and no wish to look after anyone on command.
7°12′
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 heart (the Sun, Mercury and Venus) gather in Virgo, 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 optimism (Jupiter in Aries) and his imagination (Neptune in Libra) face each other across the wheel, and his independence (Uranus in Cancer) 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.
The Sun quincunx Jupiter almost exact at 0.2°
He keeps fitting his ambitions to his purpose, and some big plans have to wait.
Jupiter square Uranus almost exact at 0.6°
Restless hope: he wants more freedom than any situation gives, and big changes come suddenly.
Venus opposition North Node almost exact at 0.8°
What feels comfortable in love and what helps him grow are different things, and he chooses between them more than once.
The Sun sextile Uranus almost exact at 0.8°
Independence comes easily: he does things his own way, and people find it refreshing rather than rude.
Mars trine Jupiter almost exact at 0.9°
Big drive and big confidence: he goes after large goals, and his enthusiasm carries others along.
Mars quincunx North Node close at 1.8°
He keeps adjusting how hard he pushes to fit where his life is going.

Change helps him forward: he grows by trying the new.
Venus sextile Uranus wide at 4.1°
He loves the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.
Uranus square Neptune wide at 4.8°
The urge for change and the longing for ideals clash, and he lives with both.
Jupiter opposition Neptune wide at 5.4°
His hopes run ahead of what is real, and he learns to check a beautiful idea against the facts.

Words with charm in them: he has an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people like listening to him.
Mercury opposition North Node wide at 7.0°
Old ideas and the way forward are at odds, and he learns new ways of thinking to move on.
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.
Elements
Modes
The Moon changed sign that day; it is counted where it stood at noon.
Standing alone: Saturn. It makes no major aspect, so his discipline works alone: strict in one part of life, and missing from others.
