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.
23°29′
Moon in Sagittarius
The Moon moved from Scorpio into Sagittarius at 1:53 a.m. that day, local time: in Scorpio for a birth before then, in Sagittarius for one after.
5°19′
Mercury in Scorpio
The Investigator. Hears what was left out.
17°57′
Venus in Scorpio
The Devotee. All or nothing.
5°09′
Mars in Leo
The Leader. Courage with an audience.

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 Taurus
The direction his life grows in: Taurus, steady and sensual.
23°38′
Chiron in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Chiron is a wariness about trust that runs deep, and the strength to stay close when others are at their lowest.
11°04′
Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.
28°55′
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 discipline and his intensity (Mars, Saturn and Pluto) gather in Leo, 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.
The Sun quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.2°
The way forward asks him to bend habits that feel like part of who he is.
Mars sextile Neptune close at 1.7°
He works for ideals: his drive comes alive for a cause, a role or a dream.
The Sun trine Uranus close at 2.6°
Independence comes easily: he does things his own way, and people find it refreshing rather than rude.
Jupiter quincunx Uranus close at 2.6°
His hopes and his restlessness keep changing places, and he redraws his plans more than once.
Mercury square Saturn close at 2.7°
He doubts his own ideas before anyone else can, and so he checks every one twice.
The Sun sextile Saturn close at 2.8°
Purpose and patience work as a team: he builds slowly and gets better with every year.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Saturn square North Node close at 3.0°
Duty and growth compete: what he owes others and where he needs to go call for hard choices.
Mercury square Pluto wide at 3.2°
His words have force: he speaks to persuade, and he keeps his own counsel until the right moment.
Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 3.7°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Venus square Mars wide at 4.2°
In love he wants tenderness and a chase at once, and his relationships are rarely calm.
Jupiter opposition North Node wide at 5.0°
Easy hopes and the harder way forward go different ways, and real growth comes from the harder one.
Mars conjunction Pluto wide at 5.4°
Concentrated force: when he wants something, he goes after it with everything.
Mercury opposition North Node wide at 5.7°
Old ideas and the way forward are at odds, and he learns new ways of thinking to move on.
Saturn conjunction Pluto wide at 5.9°
Iron will and great patience: he builds slowly and for keeps.
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.

Modes
The Moon changed sign that day; it is counted where it stood at noon.
No earth at all, so the practical, settled side is the one he has to find.
