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.
23°43′
Moon in Libra
The Moon moved from Libra into Scorpio at 2:28 p.m. that day, local time: in Libra for a birth before then, in Scorpio 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 Pisces
The direction his life grows in: Pisces, dreamy and compassionate.
7°44′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
24°30′
Black Moon Lilith in Gemini
In Gemini, Lilith is the quick tongue that says out loud what the room only thinks.
5°14′
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 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 square Pluto almost exact at 0.4°
Upheaval and the urge to break free ran strong, and he pushed for change rather than waiting for it.
Neptune opposition North Node almost exact at 0.7°
Dreams and the way forward clashed, and growing meant trading some illusions for clear sight.
Mercury quincunx Neptune close at 1.0°
Meaning came to him before the words did, and clear speech followed the feeling.
Mercury quincunx Mars close at 1.4°
Thinking and doing kept getting out of step: he acted on half a thought, or thought past the moment to act.
Mars opposition North Node close at 1.8°
Old fights and the way forward disagreed, and he grew by choosing which battles mattered.
The Sun trine Pluto close at 2.4°
A quiet strength: under pressure he grew more focused, and he knew how to start over.

Mars conjunction Neptune close at 2.5°
Action guided by imagination: he moved on instinct and feeling, and he gave his all to a vision.
Venus opposition Jupiter wide at 3.6°
He loved too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures ran past what one life could use.

Ambition with depth: he knew how to build influence, and he used it to make big changes.
Venus opposition Neptune wide at 5.6°
He loved the dream of a person, and the real one had to compete with it.
The Sun opposition Jupiter wide at 6.1°
He reached for more than one life could hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
Venus conjunction North Node wide at 6.3°
Following his heart was following his path: the people and pleasures he loved led him forward.
The Sun conjunction Venus wide at 9.7°
Charm came naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things were close to his core.
