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 Pisces
The Dreamer. Gentle, dreamy and deep.
1°26′
Moon in Taurus
The Moon moved from Aries into Taurus at 2:58 a.m. that day, local time: in Aries for a birth before then, in Taurus for one after.
4°36′
Mercury in Aquariusretrograde
The Inventor. The original thinker.
11°48′

The Kindred Spirit. Friend first, lover too.

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 Virgo
The direction his life grows in: Virgo, precise and helpful.
13°27′
Chiron in Leo
In Leo, Chiron is a quiet doubt about deserving the light, and a gift for helping others shine without apology.
10°00′
Black Moon Lilith in Gemini
In Gemini, Lilith is the quick tongue that says out loud what the room only thinks.
8°57′
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.
Yod
Two planets in easy contact both point awkwardly at a third, which becomes the focus: a talent that takes constant adjusting.
In his chart, his imagination (Neptune in Virgo) and his intensity (Pluto in Leo) both point at his identity (the Sun in Pisces), the part of him that keeps needing adjustment and gives his life its focus.
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.
Mercury trine Jupiter exact at 0.0°
A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learns easily, tells a good story and sees the big picture.
The Moon square Pluto almost exact at 0.5°
He loves hard and holds on hard, and letting go takes him a long time.
Mars conjunction Saturn almost exact at 0.9°
Controlled force: he works with patience and grit, and he finishes what he starts.
The Moon square Venus close at 1.1°
What comforts him and what he loves are different things, so his heart and his moods keep negotiating.
Venus opposition Pluto close at 1.6°
Love comes with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where he stands.
Mercury quincunx North Node close at 1.6°
His habits of thought need small, steady changes to fit the way forward.
