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 Capricorn
The Architect. Ambitious, patient and dry.
21°30′
Moon in Pisces
The Moon moved from Aquarius into Pisces at 8:40 a.m. that day, local time: in Aquarius for a birth before then, in Pisces for one after.
1°48′
Mercury in Capricorn
The Planner. Foundations first.
2°27′
Venus in Aquarius
The Kindred Spirit. Friend first, lover too.
6°25′
Mars in Taurus
The Stayer. Slow to start, impossible to stop.

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.
17°00′
Chiron in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.
20°29′
Black Moon Lilith in Taurus
In Taurus, Lilith is an appetite for pleasure that sees no need to apologise.
6°14′
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 identity, his mind and his discipline (the Sun, Mercury and Saturn) gather in Capricorn, 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 Neptune almost exact at 0.3°
He loves the dream of a person, and the real one has to compete with it.
The Moon sextile Mercury almost exact at 0.7°
Feeling and thought speak the same language: he can put a mood into words, and his words carry feeling.
Mercury trine Pluto close at 1.4°
A probing mind: he gets to the bottom of things, and his words have power when he chooses to use them.
Mercury conjunction Saturn close at 1.7°
Serious thoughts: he says less than he knows, and what he says holds up.
Uranus sextile North Node close at 1.7°
Change helps him forward: he grows by trying the new.
The Sun trine Mars close at 1.8°
His purpose and his drive work together: once he decides on something, he moves on it fast.

The Sun square North Node wide at 4.5°
Being himself and growing ask for different things, and his biggest steps forward come when he stretches past his habits.

He takes on more than any one person can, and his boldness runs ahead of his plans.
