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 Pisces
The Dreamer. Gentle, dreamy and deep.
16°31′
Moon in Cancer
The Moon moved from Cancer into Leo at 1:56 p.m. that day, local time: in Cancer for a birth before then, in Leo for one after.
29°02′
Mercury in Pisces
The Poet. Knowing without explaining.
17°24′
Venus in Aquarius
The Kindred Spirit. Friend first, lover too.
4°15′
Mars in Sagittarius
The Champion. The long shot.

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 Aquarius
The direction his life grows in: Aquarius, independent and original.
23°34′
Chiron in Aries
In Aries, Chiron is a doubt about the right to go first, and with it a talent for giving others their nerve.
8°26′
Black Moon Lilith in Virgo
In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.
20°33′
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 imagination (Mars, Jupiter and Neptune) 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.
The Moon sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.3°
His feelings run deep and hold steady: he comes through hard times with more strength than he goes in with.
Mercury sextile Saturn almost exact at 0.5°
A patient, exact mind: he chooses every word, and his thinking gets sharper with practice.
The Sun conjunction Mercury almost exact at 0.9°
His mind and his identity are close together: he speaks as he thinks, and his ideas are part of who he is.
Venus sextile Neptune close at 1.2°
A romantic with an artist’s eye: he sees the beauty in people and makes it visible to others.
The Sun sextile Saturn close at 1.3°
Purpose and patience work as a team: he builds slowly and gets better with every year.
Mars square Pluto close at 1.5°
A fierce will: he meets opposition head on, and a fight brings out his full strength.

Venus sextile Jupiter close at 1.8°

Jupiter conjunction Neptune close at 3.0°
A dreamer’s faith: he believes in something larger, and his compassion and his hopes go together.
Mars sextile North Node wide at 3.6°
Courage moves him forward, and each bold step takes him further along his path.
The Sun quincunx Uranus wide at 4.0°
His restlessness keeps testing his plans, so he changes course more than once to stay true to himself.
Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 4.4°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Venus trine Pluto wide at 5.6°
He loves with depth and loyalty, and the bonds he forms change both people.
Saturn square North Node wide at 5.7°
Duty and growth compete: what he owes others and where he needs to go call for hard choices.
