The chart, fact by fact
Planets

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 Aries
The Pioneer. First in, first to try.

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.
19°10′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
19°36′
Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Lilith is a free mind that keeps only the beliefs it chose.
20°26′
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 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.
Venus quincunx North Node exact at 0.0°
He keeps adjusting what he wants from people to fit the life he is growing into.
The Moon square North Node almost exact at 0.2°
Home comforts and the way forward ask for different things, and growing means leaving some familiar things behind.
The Moon sextile Venus almost exact at 0.3°
He puts people at ease without trying: kindness and charm come from the same place.
Mercury quincunx Saturn almost exact at 0.3°
Speaking freely and speaking carefully take constant balancing, and he weighs words before letting them go.
Venus trine Saturn almost exact at 0.8°
Loyal in love: he chooses carefully, and what he builds with people lasts.
Saturn square North Node almost exact at 0.8°
Duty and growth compete: what he owes others and where he needs to go call for hard choices.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Neptune sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.9°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
The Sun trine Uranus almost exact at 0.9°

The Moon opposition Saturn close at 1.0°
Feelings come second to duty: he holds himself to a high standard, even in private.
Mercury trine North Node close at 1.1°

The Sun quincunx Jupiter wide at 3.5°

He fights hard for what he wants, and his temper is part of his courage.
Mars square North Node wide at 6.9°
Old fights and the way forward disagree, and he grows by choosing which battles matter.

The Sun square Neptune wide at 8.4°
