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 Cancer
The Protector. Home, memory and care.
14°28′
Moon in Aries
The Moon moved from Aries into Taurus at 1:31 p.m. that day, local time: in Aries for a birth before then, in Taurus for one after.

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 Leo
The direction his life grows in: Leo, warm and dramatic.
20°47′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
17°15′
Black Moon Lilith in Libra
In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.
10°15′
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 drive, his optimism and his discipline (Mars, Jupiter and Saturn) gather in Virgo, 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 heart (Venus in Gemini) and his imagination (Neptune in Sagittarius) face each other across the wheel, and his discipline (Saturn in Virgo) 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.
Saturn sextile Uranus almost exact at 0.1°
Old and new sit well together: he can change things without throwing out what works.
Neptune trine North Node almost exact at 0.1°
Imagination helps him forward, through art, ideals and care for others.
Uranus square North Node close at 1.0°
The way forward asks for steadiness, and the urge for change keeps breaking in.
Mercury sextile Saturn close at 1.0°
A patient, exact mind: he chooses every word, and his thinking gets sharper with practice.
Mercury trine Uranus close at 1.1°
A quick, original mind: ideas arrive in flashes, and he sees answers others miss.
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.

His mind and his identity are close together: he speaks as he thinks, and his ideas are part of who he is.
