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 Aries
The Pioneer. First in, first to try.

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 Libra
The direction his life grows in: Libra, graceful and fair.
20°04′
Chiron in Cancer
In Cancer, Chiron is an early longing to belong somewhere, and a knack for making strangers feel at home.
14°06′
Black Moon Lilith in Pisces
In Pisces, Lilith is a dreamer who wants no rescuing, with a private world all its own.
22°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 heart, his drive, his discipline and his independence (Venus, Mars, Saturn and Uranus) gather in Taurus, and that part of life draws his attention first.
Grand trine
Three planets in an easy triangle, each in flowing contact with the other two: a gift that comes without effort.
In his chart, his feelings, his heart and his imagination (the Moon in Capricorn, Venus in Taurus and Neptune in Virgo) make the triangle, so these come to him naturally.
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.
Uranus quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.4°
Sudden changes keep shifting the way forward, and he adapts each time.
Saturn square Pluto almost exact at 0.7°
Heavy demands and hard limits: he faces a great deal of pressure and comes out tougher for it.
Jupiter opposition North Node almost exact at 0.9°
Easy hopes and the harder way forward go different ways, and real growth comes from the harder one.
The Moon trine Neptune close at 1.0°
He picks up what others feel before a word is said, and his compassion reaches far.
Mars sextile Pluto close at 1.4°
Stamina and willpower: he keeps going long after others stop, and he does his best work under pressure.
Venus trine Neptune close at 2.0°
A romantic with an artist’s eye: he sees the beauty in people and makes it visible to others.

The Moon square North Node close at 2.6°

The Sun conjunction Jupiter wide at 8.3°
Optimism at the centre of him: he expects things to go well, and that confidence wins people over.
The Sun opposition North Node wide at 9.2°
Being himself and growing ask for different things, and his biggest steps forward come when he stretches past his habits.
