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 Scorpio
The Detective. Intense, private and loyal.
8°06′
Moon in Taurus
The Moon moved from Taurus into Gemini at 1:50 p.m. that day, local time: in Taurus for a birth before then, in Gemini for one after.
28°52′
Mercury in Libra
The Mediator. Both sides of the question.
27°07′
Venus in Sagittarius
The Adventurer. Love as an adventure.
10°24′
Mars in Virgo
The Craftsperson. The craftsman’s drive.

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 Sagittarius
The direction his life grows in: Sagittarius, free and far-ranging.
25°11′
Chiron in Gemini
In Gemini, Chiron is an old fear of not being heard, which becomes a gift for finding the words others lack.
22°48′
Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Lilith is an intensity and a private power that stay unexplained.
3°11′
The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.
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 opposition Uranus almost exact at 0.5°
He needed room to be himself, and any rule that fit too tightly got broken.
Mercury square Pluto close at 1.6°
His words had force: he spoke to persuade, and he kept his own counsel until the right moment.
Mars square Jupiter close at 1.8°
He took on more than any one person could, and his boldness ran ahead of his plans.
Jupiter conjunction North Node close at 1.8°
Generosity was part of his path: teaching, travel and big ideas moved him forward.
Mercury sextile North Node close at 1.9°
His way with words helped him find his direction, and the right ideas came at the right time.
Saturn opposition Neptune close at 2.2°
The dream and the hard work seldom agreed on terms: his discipline and his imagination asked different things of him.

Drive with the brakes on: he wanted to move, something held him back, and the friction made him tough.

Love felt like something to be earned, and he held back until he was sure of it.
Neptune square North Node wide at 6.9°
