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.
0°36′
Moon in Sagittarius
The Free Spirit. Free, hopeful and restless.
12°51′
Mercury in Leo
The Storyteller. A voice that carries.
26°01′
Venus in Leo
The Romantic. Grand, generous love.

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.
27°54′
Chiron in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Chiron is a wariness about trust that runs deep, and the strength to stay close when others are at their lowest.
4°49′
Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.
22°53′
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 mind, his heart, his discipline and his intensity (Mercury, Venus, Saturn and Pluto) gather in Leo, 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.
Venus square North Node exact at 0.0°
What feels comfortable in love and what helps him grow are different things, and he chooses between them more than once.
Mercury sextile Uranus almost exact at 0.5°
A quick, original mind: ideas arrive in flashes, and he sees answers others miss.
The Moon trine Pluto almost exact at 0.7°
His feelings run deep and hold steady: he comes through hard times with more strength than he goes in with.
Saturn conjunction Pluto close at 1.3°
Iron will and great patience: he builds slowly and for keeps.
Mercury conjunction Venus close at 1.9°
Words with charm in them: he has an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people like listening to him.
Mercury square North Node close at 1.9°
Old ideas and the way forward are at odds, and he learns new ways of thinking to move on.

The Moon trine Saturn close at 2.0°
Steady feelings: he keeps calm under strain, and he loves in ways that last.
Mars square Neptune close at 2.1°

Venus sextile Uranus close at 2.3°
He loves the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.
The Sun square North Node close at 2.7°
Being himself and growing ask for different things, and his biggest steps forward come when he stretches past his habits.
The Sun conjunction Venus close at 2.7°
Charm comes naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things are close to his core.
Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 4.4°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
The Sun conjunction Mercury wide at 4.6°
His mind and his identity are close together: he speaks as he thinks, and his ideas are part of who he is.
The Sun sextile Uranus wide at 5.1°
Independence comes easily: he does things his own way, and people find it refreshing rather than rude.
Jupiter square Saturn wide at 5.1°
Growth and caution keep checking each other: he moves forward in bursts, then pauses to consolidate.
The Sun sextile Mars wide at 6.4°
His purpose and his drive work together: once he decides on something, he moves on it fast.
Jupiter square Pluto wide at 6.4°
He wants more power than comes easily, and the struggle for it shapes his life.
Jupiter opposition North Node wide at 7.9°
Easy hopes and the harder way forward go different ways, and real growth comes from the harder one.
