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 Sun moved from Cancer into Leo at 9:16 a.m. that day, local time: in Cancer for a birth before then, in Leo for one after.
0°07′
Moon in Aquarius
The Moon moved from Aquarius into Pisces at 9:28 p.m. that day, local time: in Aquarius for a birth before then, in Pisces for one after.

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.
2°31′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
29°39′
Black Moon Lilith in Aries
In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.
23°16′
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 heart, his independence and his intensity (Venus, Uranus and Pluto) gather in Virgo, and that part of life drew 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 sextile Neptune exact at 0.0°
Change and idealism went together: new ideas came wrapped in dreams of a better world.
Mercury square Saturn almost exact at 0.3°
He doubted his own ideas before anyone else could, and so he checked every one twice.
Jupiter trine Saturn almost exact at 0.5°
Hope and caution in balance: he dreamed big and planned carefully, and both helped.
Mars opposition North Node almost exact at 0.7°
Old fights and the way forward disagreed, and he grew by choosing which battles mattered.
The Sun square Mars close at 1.7°
He fought hard for what he wanted, and his temper was part of his courage.
The Sun square North Node close at 2.4°
Being himself and growing asked for different things, and his biggest steps forward came when he stretched past his habits.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Uranus conjunction Pluto close at 2.9°
Born into a time of upheaval: he wanted radical change, and wanted it at once.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 2.9°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Mercury sextile Venus wide at 3.1°
A graceful mind: he spoke kindly and well, and he knew how to say a hard thing gently.
The Sun trine Neptune wide at 8.5°
Imagination and identity worked together: he could become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
