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 Aries
The Pioneer. First in, first to try.
2°10′
Moon in Cancer
The Nest-Maker. Home is the heart.
18°51′
Mercury in Pisces
Mercury moved from Pisces into Aries at 11:10 p.m. that day, local time: in Pisces for a birth before then, in Aries for one after.
29°05′
Venus in Taurus
The Keeper. Slow, sensual and loyal.
4°48′
Mars in Aries
The Trailblazer. First through the door.

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 Gemini
The direction his life grows in: Gemini, curious and quick-witted.
29°25′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
24°00′
Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Lilith is the outsider’s streak, at its best when it does not fit in.
0°33′
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 optimism, his independence and his imagination (Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune) gather in Sagittarius, 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.
Mercury square Neptune almost exact at 0.1°
Facts and dreams blur together in his mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details matter.
Neptune opposition North Node almost exact at 0.2°
Dreams and the way forward clash, and growing means trading some illusions for clear sight.
Mercury quincunx Pluto almost exact at 0.2°
What he knows and what he says need careful managing, and secrets sit uneasily with him.
Mercury square North Node almost exact at 0.3°
Old ideas and the way forward are at odds, and he learns new ways of thinking to move on.
Neptune sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.4°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Pluto trine North Node almost exact at 0.6°
Deep change helps him forward: each time he starts over, he goes further.
