The chart, fact by fact
Planets

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 Leo
The Bright One. Warm, proud and generous.
9°55′
Moon in Leo
The Warm Heart. Warm heart, big feelings.
10°35′

The Analyst. The editor’s eye.

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 Pisces
The direction his life grows in: Pisces, dreamy and compassionate.
17°31′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
28°09′
Black Moon Lilith in Taurus
In Taurus, Lilith is an appetite for pleasure that sees no need to apologise.
10°09′
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 feelings and his optimism (the Sun, the Moon and Jupiter) gather in Leo, and that part of life drew his attention first.
Yod
Two planets in easy contact both point awkwardly at a third, which becomes the focus: a talent that takes constant adjusting.
In his chart, his mind (Mercury in Virgo) and his heart (Venus in Cancer) both point at his discipline (Saturn in Aquarius), the part of him that kept needing adjustment and gave his life its focus.
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.
Mercury sextile Venus almost exact at 0.1°
A graceful mind: he spoke kindly and well, and he knew how to say a hard thing gently.
Mars sextile Jupiter almost exact at 0.3°
Big drive and big confidence: he went after large goals, and his enthusiasm carried others along.
The Sun conjunction the Moon almost exact at 0.7°
Born near a new Moon, so what he wanted and what he needed moved as one: single-minded, and hard to talk out of anything.
Venus quincunx Saturn almost exact at 0.9°
He kept weighing pleasure against duty, and joy came once the work was done.
Mercury quincunx Saturn close at 1.1°
Speaking freely and speaking carefully took constant balancing, and he weighed words before letting them go.
Uranus square Pluto close at 1.2°
Upheaval and the urge to break free ran strong, and he pushed for change rather than waiting for it.

When to push and when to wait took constant judging, and he learned timing the hard way.

A quick, direct mind: he made decisions fast and said what he meant.
Venus sextile Jupiter wide at 3.6°

He loved ideas, the bigger the better, and he could talk anyone into hoping.
Pluto trine North Node wide at 4.7°
Deep change helped him forward: each time he started over, he went further.

Sudden openings: he spotted new chances early and jumped at them.
Mercury conjunction Neptune wide at 4.8°
A poet’s mind: he heard what went unsaid, and his best ideas came from somewhere hard to explain.
The Sun opposition Saturn wide at 9.1°
Self-belief came slowly and had to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counted.
