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 Pisces
The Sun moved from Pisces into Aries at 7:38 p.m. that day, local time: in Pisces for a birth before then, in Aries for one after.
29°41′
Moon in Gemini
The Moon moved from Gemini into Cancer at 3:32 p.m. that day, local time: in Gemini for a birth before then, in Cancer for one after.
28°03′

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 Cancer
The direction his life grows in: Cancer, protective and caring.
15°19′
Chiron in Libra
In Libra, Chiron is a soft spot around being chosen and kept, and a gift for making others feel met as equals.
0°16′
Black Moon Lilith in Libra
In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.
14°11′
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.
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 Pisces) and his imagination (Neptune in Libra) face each other across the wheel, and his discipline (Saturn in Cancer) 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.
Venus sextile Saturn almost exact at 0.9°
Loyal in love: he chooses carefully, and what he builds with people lasts.
Saturn square Neptune close at 1.2°
The dream and the hard work seldom agree on terms: his discipline and his imagination ask different things of him.
Mercury square North Node close at 1.4°
Old ideas and the way forward are at odds, and he learns new ways of thinking to move on.
Uranus sextile Pluto close at 1.5°
He can help change things at the root, and upheaval suits him.
The Moon trine Mars close at 1.5°
His feelings turn straight into action: when something matters, he does something about it.
The Sun square the Moon close at 1.6°
The self he shows the world and the self he comes home to want different things, and he makes room for both.

Venus quincunx Neptune close at 2.1°
What he wants from love and what love gives him keep needing adjustment, and he learns to see people as they are.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 2.9°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
The Sun square Saturn wide at 4.3°
Self-belief comes slowly and has to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counts.
Uranus trine Neptune wide at 4.3°
Change and idealism go together: new ideas come wrapped in dreams of a better world.
Venus square Pluto wide at 5.0°
Love comes with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where he stands.
The Sun opposition Neptune wide at 5.5°
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 Jupiter wide at 8.0°
He reaches for more than one life can hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
The Sun trine Pluto wide at 8.4°
A quiet strength: under pressure he grows more focused, and he knows how to start over.
