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.

    14°06′

  • Moon in Taurus

    The Moon moved from Taurus into Gemini at 3:49 p.m. that day, local time: in Taurus for a birth before then, in Gemini for one after.

    27°59′

  • Mercury in Aquarius

    The Inventor. The original thinker.

    17°59′

  • Venus in Pisces

    The Tender Heart. Love without limits.

    20°00′

  • Mars in Sagittarius

    The Champion. The long shot.

Beyond the planetsNorth Node in Libra, Chiron and Lilith
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.

    8°57′

  • 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.

    11°43′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Pisces

    In Pisces, Lilith is a dreamer who wants no rescuing, with a private world all its own.

    6°42′

The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.

PatternsStellium, Yod
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 heart and his independence (the Sun, Venus and Uranus) gather in Pisces, 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 optimism (Jupiter in Libra) and his imagination (Neptune in Leo) both point at his identity (the Sun in Pisces), the part of him that kept needing adjustment and gave his life its focus.

Aspects by strength20 between the planets, the closest first
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 Sun quincunx Neptune almost exact at 0.3°

    He kept redrawing the line between the life he had and the life he imagined.

  • Mercury trine Jupiter almost exact at 0.5°

    A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learned easily, told a good story and saw the big picture.

  • Mars quincunx Pluto almost exact at 0.8°

    Force and restraint kept trading places, and he learned when to let go.

  • Uranus quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.9°

    Sudden changes kept shifting the way forward, and he adapted each time.

  • Pluto square North Node almost exact at 0.9°

    Old attachments held him back from the way forward, and he grew by letting some things go.

  • Mars sextile Saturn close at 1.4°

    His drive and his discipline worked together easily: he could push hard and keep going.
