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 Aquarius
The Free Thinker. Original, free and humane.
7°45′
Moon in Aries
The Moon moved from Pisces into Aries at 8:20 a.m. that day, local time: in Pisces for a birth before then, in Aries for one after.
2°07′
Mercury in Aquarius
The Inventor. The original thinker.
26°12′
Venus in Sagittarius
The Adventurer. Love as an adventure.
20°56′
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 Capricorn
The direction his life grows in: Capricorn, ambitious and patient.
5°05′
Chiron in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.
0°04′
Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Lilith is an intensity and a private power that stay unexplained.
25°27′
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.
T-square
Two planets pull against each other, and a third stands at right angles to both, where the strain gathers.
In his chart, his mind (Mercury in Aquarius) and his intensity (Pluto in Leo) face each other across the wheel, and his discipline (Saturn in Scorpio) takes the strain: the part of him that works hardest.
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 opposition Pluto almost exact at 0.2°
His words have force: he speaks to persuade, and he keeps his own counsel until the right moment.
Mercury quincunx Uranus close at 1.0°
Ordinary logic and sudden insight need constant translating, and he spends time explaining how he gets there.
The Sun sextile Mars close at 1.7°
His purpose and his drive work together: once he decides on something, he moves on it fast.
Jupiter conjunction Uranus close at 1.9°
An inventive optimism: he believes in the new, and he takes leaps others would not.
Mercury trine Neptune close at 2.0°
He thinks in pictures and music: his words carry a mood, and his imagination gives his ideas colour.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 2.2°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Venus quincunx Jupiter close at 2.3°
His taste and his appetite for more need adjusting: he keeps learning what is enough.
Jupiter trine Saturn close at 2.9°
Hope and caution in balance: he dreams big and plans carefully, and both help.
Uranus square Neptune wide at 3.1°
The urge for change and the longing for ideals clash, and he lives with both.
Mars square North Node wide at 4.4°
Old fights and the way forward disagree, and he grows by choosing which battles matter.
Saturn trine Uranus wide at 4.8°
Old and new sit well together: he can change things without throwing out what works.
Jupiter square Neptune wide at 5.0°
His hopes run ahead of what is real, and he learns to check a beautiful idea against the facts.
Venus trine Pluto wide at 5.1°
He loves with depth and loyalty, and the bonds he forms change both people.
Saturn square Pluto wide at 5.7°
Heavy demands and hard limits: he faces a great deal of pressure and comes out tougher for it.
Mercury square Saturn wide at 5.9°
He doubts his own ideas before anyone else can, and so he checks every one twice.
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.
Elements
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.
