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 Gemini
The Messenger. Curious and many-sided.
15°50′
Moon in Virgo
The Moon moved from Leo into Virgo at 9:52 a.m. that day, local time: in Leo for a birth before then, in Virgo for one after.
1°13′
Mercury in Cancer
The Remembering Mind. A memory for tone.
4°29′

The Nurturer. Love that makes a home.

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.
7°51′
Chiron in Aries
In Aries, Chiron is a doubt about the right to go first, and with it a talent for giving others their nerve.
19°57′
Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Lilith is a free mind that keeps only the beliefs it chose.
22°16′
The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.
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 sextile Venus almost exact at 0.1°
He puts people at ease without trying: kindness and charm come from the same place.
Venus square Pluto almost exact at 0.6°
Love comes with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where he stands.
Mercury quincunx Neptune close at 1.3°
Meaning comes to him before the words do, and clear speech follows the feeling.
Mars quincunx Uranus close at 1.4°
Effort and restlessness keep catching each other off guard, and his plans change at short notice.
Mars square Saturn close at 2.5°
Drive with the brakes on: he wants to move, something holds him back, and the friction makes him tough.
Mercury square Pluto close at 2.8°
His words have force: he speaks to persuade, and he keeps his own counsel until the right moment.

Serious from early on: purpose and duty are one thing to him, and he treats his own life as work to be done well.
