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 Virgo
The Fixer. Precise, useful and kind.
11°08′
Moon in Aries
The Moon moved from Aries into Taurus at 8:00 p.m. that day, local time: in Aries for a birth before then, in Taurus for one after.
26°01′
Mercury in Virgo
The Analyst. The editor’s eye.
5°14′
Venus in Leo
The Romantic. Grand, generous love.
24°00′

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 Taurus
The direction his life grows in: Taurus, steady and sensual.
18°21′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
24°31′
Black Moon Lilith in Pisces
In Pisces, Lilith is a dreamer who wants no rescuing, with a private world all its own.
17°24′
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, his independence and his intensity (the Sun, Mercury, Uranus and Pluto) gather in Virgo, 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.
The Moon square Jupiter exact at 0.0°
His feelings run large: he wants more comfort, more company and more of everything than any one day gives.
Uranus sextile Neptune almost exact at 0.3°
Change and idealism go together: new ideas come wrapped in dreams of a better world.
Pluto trine North Node almost exact at 0.4°
Deep change helps him forward: each time he starts over, he goes further.
Uranus trine North Node close at 1.1°
Change helps him forward: he grows by trying the new.
Neptune opposition North Node close at 1.4°
Dreams and the way forward clash, and growing means trading some illusions for clear sight.
Jupiter trine Saturn close at 1.4°
Hope and caution in balance: he dreams big and plans carefully, and both help.
