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.
11°02′
Moon in Gemini
The Moon moved from Taurus into Gemini at 5:52 a.m. that day, local time: in Taurus for a birth before then, in Gemini for one after.
3°38′
Mercury in Aquarius
The Inventor. The original thinker.
17°00′
Venus in Sagittarius
The Adventurer. Love as an adventure.

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.
9°47′
Chiron in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Chiron is a wariness about trust that runs deep, and the strength to stay close when others are at their lowest.
8°16′
Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.
0°05′
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 drive (the Sun, Mercury and Mars) gather in Aquarius, 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.
Mars opposition Saturn almost exact at 0.1°
Drive with the brakes on: he wants to move, something holds him back, and the friction makes him tough.
The Sun trine Neptune almost exact at 0.3°
Imagination and identity work together: he can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
Neptune trine North Node almost exact at 0.9°
Imagination helps him forward, through art, ideals and care for others.
Mercury trine Uranus close at 1.0°
A quick, original mind: ideas arrive in flashes, and he sees answers others miss.
The Sun opposition Pluto close at 1.2°
Nothing about him is halfway: he insists on running his own life, and the struggle makes him formidable.
The Sun trine North Node close at 1.2°
The direction his life takes suits him: being himself and growing go hand in hand.
