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 Sagittarius
The Explorer. Honest, free and far-seeing.
15°22′
Moon in Libra
The Moon moved from Libra into Scorpio at 6:46 p.m. that day, local time: in Libra for a birth before then, in Scorpio for one after.
26°37′
Mercury in Sagittarius
The Philosopher. The big picture.
9°23′

The Loyal Partner. Love built to last.

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.
0°29′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
6°08′
Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Lilith is a free mind that keeps only the beliefs it chose.
11°37′
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 discipline (the Sun, Mercury and Saturn) 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.
Jupiter trine Neptune almost exact at 0.4°
Faith and imagination together: he believes in people and ideals, and that belief is catching.
Neptune square North Node almost exact at 0.9°
Dreams and the way forward clash, and growing means trading some illusions for clear sight.
Mars square Uranus close at 1.2°
Restless and quick to rebel: he pushes against limits, and sudden decisions come with the territory.
The Moon square Venus close at 1.8°
What comforts him and what he loves are different things, so his heart and his moods keep negotiating.
Uranus quincunx Neptune close at 2.1°
Sudden change and slow dreams keep adjusting to each other.
The Sun quincunx Pluto close at 2.6°
He keeps rebuilding himself to fit what life asks, and control is the hardest thing to give up.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Saturn quincunx Pluto close at 2.9°
He keeps adjusting between control and acceptance, and learns where each belongs.
Uranus sextile North Node close at 3.0°
Change helps him forward: he grows by trying the new.
Mars sextile Neptune wide at 3.3°
He works for ideals: his drive comes alive for a cause, a role or a dream.
Mars sextile Jupiter wide at 3.7°
Big drive and big confidence: he goes after large goals, and his enthusiasm carries others along.
The Sun conjunction Saturn wide at 5.5°
Serious from early on: purpose and duty are one thing to him, and he treats his own life as work to be done well.
Venus trine North Node wide at 5.7°
Love and friendship move him forward: the people he cares for help him find his way.
Mercury trine Uranus wide at 5.9°
A quick, original mind: ideas arrive in flashes, and he sees answers others miss.
The Sun conjunction Mercury wide at 6.0°
His mind and his identity are close together: he speaks as he thinks, and his ideas are part of who he is.
Venus square Jupiter wide at 6.2°
He loves too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures run past what one life can use.
Venus opposition Pluto wide at 6.8°
Love comes with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where he stands.
