The chart, fact by fact
Planets

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.
4°42′
Moon in Aquarius
The Cool Head. Cool head, warm heart.
21°37′

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°20′
Chiron in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Chiron is the feeling of having grown up too soon, and a gift for showing others how to stand on their own.
29°48′
Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Lilith is an intensity and a private power that stay unexplained.
25°07′
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 feelings and his mind (the Sun, the Moon and Mercury) gather in Aquarius, and that part of life draws his attention first.
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 identity (the Sun in Aquarius) and his independence (Uranus in Cancer) face each other across the wheel, and his imagination (Neptune in Libra) 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 quincunx Jupiter almost exact at 0.9°
The facts and the bigger picture need constant reconciling, and he keeps checking one against the other.
The Moon conjunction Mercury close at 1.1°
He thinks with his feelings: memory, mood and wit come together, and his words give away what he feels.
The Moon square Saturn close at 1.5°
Feelings come second to duty: he holds himself to a high standard, even in private.
Jupiter conjunction Uranus close at 1.6°
An inventive optimism: he believes in the new, and he takes leaps others would not.
Mars square North Node close at 2.0°
Old fights and the way forward disagree, and he grows by choosing which battles matter.
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
Mercury square Saturn close at 2.6°
He doubts his own ideas before anyone else can, and so he checks every one twice.
The Sun sextile Mars close at 2.6°
His purpose and his drive work together: once he decides on something, he moves on it fast.
Uranus square Neptune close at 3.0°
The urge for change and the longing for ideals clash, and he lives with both.
Mercury opposition Pluto wide at 3.3°
His words have force: he speaks to persuade, and he keeps his own counsel until the right moment.
Jupiter trine Saturn wide at 3.5°
Hope and caution in balance: he dreams big and plans carefully, and both help.
Jupiter square Neptune wide at 4.6°
His hopes run ahead of what is real, and he learns to check a beautiful idea against the facts.
Mercury sextile Venus wide at 4.8°
A graceful mind: he speaks kindly and well, and he knows how to say a hard thing gently.
Saturn trine Uranus wide at 5.1°
Old and new sit well together: he can change things without throwing out what works.
Mercury trine Neptune wide at 5.5°
He thinks in pictures and music: his words carry a mood, and his imagination gives his ideas colour.
Saturn square Pluto wide at 5.9°
Heavy demands and hard limits: he faces a great deal of pressure and comes out tougher for it.
The Sun square Neptune wide at 6.5°
The self he knows and the image others see drift apart at times, and he works to keep hold of the real one.
The Sun opposition Uranus wide at 9.4°
He needs room to be himself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.
