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.

Beyond the planetsNorth Node in Sagittarius, Chiron and Lilith
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 Sagittarius

    The direction his life grows in: Sagittarius, free and far-ranging.

    20°18′

  • Chiron in Sagittarius

    In Sagittarius, Chiron is a restless question about what it all means, and a gift for lending others a wider view.

    17°07′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Virgo

    In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.

    2°36′

The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.

PatternsStellium, Stellium
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, his discipline and his independence (the Sun, Mercury, Saturn and Uranus) gather in Sagittarius, and that part of life drew his attention first.

Stellium

Three or more planets gathered in one sign or one house, so that part of the chart speaks loudest.

In his chart, his feelings, his imagination and his intensity (the Moon, Neptune and Pluto) gather in Gemini, and that part of life drew his attention first.

Aspects by strength18 between the planets, the closest first
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.

  • Saturn opposition Neptune almost exact at 0.2°

    The dream and the hard work seldom agreed on terms: his discipline and his imagination asked different things of him.

  • The Sun opposition Neptune close at 1.3°

    The self he knew and the image others saw drifted apart at times, and he worked to keep hold of the real one.

  • The Sun conjunction Saturn close at 1.5°

    Serious from early on: purpose and duty were one thing to him, and he treated his own life as work to be done well.

  • Venus quincunx Pluto close at 1.5°

    Affection and the need for control kept getting in each other’s way, and trust took him time.

  • The Moon conjunction Pluto close at 2.2°

    Intense, private feelings: he kept an inner life few people saw, and he guarded it well.

  • Jupiter quincunx Neptune close at 2.3°

    His ideals and his beliefs needed constant matching up, and he kept asking what he really believed.

Show more aspectsShow fewer
  • The Moon opposition North Node close at 2.6°

    Home comforts and the way forward asked for different things, and growing meant leaving some familiar things behind.

  • Mercury conjunction Uranus wide at 3.4°

    He thought in leaps: brilliant, contrary and quick to get bored with the obvious.

  • The Sun conjunction North Node wide at 4.1°

    His identity and his direction in life lined up: the more fully he became himself, the further he went.

  • Pluto opposition North Node wide at 4.8°

    Old attachments held him back from the way forward, and he grew by letting some things go.

  • Neptune opposition North Node wide at 5.4°

    Dreams and the way forward clashed, and growing meant trading some illusions for clear sight.

  • Saturn conjunction North Node wide at 5.6°

    A serious path: growing asked for patience, and he gave it.

  • Mars conjunction Saturn wide at 6.1°

    Controlled force: he worked with patience and grit, and he finished what he started.

  • Uranus opposition Pluto wide at 6.3°

    Upheaval and the urge to break free ran strong, and he pushed for change rather than waiting for it.

  • Mars opposition Neptune wide at 6.4°

    Drive and dreams mixed uneasily: the goal was clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.

  • The Sun conjunction Mars wide at 7.7°

    Purpose and drive in one place: he was quick to start, quick to compete and hard to stop.

  • Mercury conjunction Jupiter wide at 7.8°

    He loved ideas, the bigger the better, and he could talk anyone into hoping.

  • The Sun opposition Pluto wide at 8.8°

    Nothing about him was halfway: he insisted on running his own life, and the struggle made him formidable.
