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 Sagittarius
The Explorer. Honest, free and far-seeing.

Moon in Scorpio
The Vault. Deep water, kept private.

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.
28°12′
Chiron in Leo
In Leo, Chiron is a quiet doubt about deserving the light, and a gift for helping others shine without apology.
29°20′
Black Moon Lilith in Cancer
In Cancer, Lilith is a fierce need to belong, and no wish to look after anyone on command.
11°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 identity, his mind and his heart (the Sun, Mercury and Venus) gather in Sagittarius, 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.
Uranus trine Neptune almost exact at 0.3°
Change and idealism go together: new ideas come wrapped in dreams of a better world.
Mars trine Jupiter almost exact at 0.7°
Big drive and big confidence: he goes after large goals, and his enthusiasm carries others along.
Saturn sextile Pluto close at 1.6°
Endurance: he can work through hard times, and what he builds survives pressure.
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.
The Moon conjunction Mars close at 2.6°
His feelings run hot and fast, and he protects the people he loves fiercely.
The Sun conjunction Mercury close at 3.0°
His mind and his identity are close together: he speaks as he thinks, and his ideas are part of who he is.
