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.
18°06′
Moon in Leo
The Warm Heart. Warm heart, big feelings.
6°25′
Mercury in Scorpioretrograde
The Investigator. Hears what was left out.
11°46′

The Adventurer. Love as an adventure.
24°06′

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°02′
Chiron in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.
27°25′
Black Moon Lilith in Cancer
In Cancer, Lilith is a fierce need to belong, and no wish to look after anyone on command.
20°50′
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 identity, his mind and his imagination (the Sun, Mercury and Neptune) gather in Scorpio, 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 trine Mars almost exact at 0.1°
His purpose and his drive work together: once he decides on something, he moves on it fast.
Saturn trine North Node close at 1.2°
Discipline helps him grow: patience and hard work keep him on course.
Mercury sextile North Node close at 1.3°
His way with words helps him find his direction, and the right ideas come at the right time.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.3°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Venus trine Uranus close at 1.5°
He loves the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.
Mercury sextile Saturn close at 2.5°
A patient, exact mind: he chooses every word, and his thinking gets sharper with practice.
