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.

The Messenger. Curious and many-sided.
16°26′
Moon in Aquarius
The Moon moved from Aquarius into Pisces at 2:24 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 Scorpio
The direction his life grows in: Scorpio, intense and private.
0°12′
Chiron in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.
22°40′
Black Moon Lilith in Aries
In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.
12°00′
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.
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 Gemini) and his drive (Mars in Aries) both point at his imagination (Neptune in Scorpio), the part of him that kept needing adjustment and gave his life its focus.
T-square
Two planets pull against each other, and a third stands at right angles to both, where the strain gathers.
In his chart, his heart (Venus in Taurus) and his imagination (Neptune in Scorpio) face each other across the wheel, and his independence (Uranus in Leo) took the strain: the part of him that worked hardest.
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 imagination (Neptune in Scorpio) and his intensity (Pluto in Leo) both point at his drive (Mars in Aries), 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.

Mars quincunx Pluto almost exact at 0.4°

Jupiter sextile Saturn almost exact at 0.9°

The Moon opposition Pluto close at 1.2°
He loved hard and held on hard, and letting go took him a long time.
Venus square Uranus close at 1.2°
