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 Aries
The Pioneer. First in, first to try.
3°56′
Moon in Aries
The Moon moved from Pisces into Aries at 12:42 a.m. that day, local time: in Pisces for a birth before then, in Aries for one after.
7°06′
Mercury in Aries
The Spark. First to speak.
10°51′
Venus in Pisces
The Tender Heart. Love without limits.

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 Leo
The direction his life grows in: Leo, warm and dramatic.
5°04′
Chiron in Virgo
In Virgo, Chiron is the sense that no effort is ever quite enough, and a gift for patient, practical help.
11°02′
Black Moon Lilith in Virgo
In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.
3°52′
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 discipline and his independence (Mars, Saturn and Uranus) gather in Gemini, 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 North Node almost exact at 0.5°
Change helped him forward: he grew by trying the new.
The Moon trine Pluto almost exact at 0.6°
His feelings ran deep and held steady: he came through hard times with more strength than he went in with.
Uranus sextile Pluto close at 1.0°
He could help change things at the root, and upheaval suited him.
The Sun opposition Neptune close at 1.1°
The self he knew and the image others saw drifted apart at times, and he worked to keep hold of the real one.
The Sun trine North Node close at 1.1°
The direction his life took suited him: being himself and growing went hand in hand.
Pluto conjunction North Node close at 1.5°
A path of transformation: his direction in life asked him to change himself completely, more than once.

Chart signature
What’s this?Close
The chart’s balance at a glance: which of the four elements and three modes it leans on, which body is most connected, and any body standing alone.

Modes
The Moon changed sign that day; it is counted where it stood at noon.
No earth at all, so the practical, settled side was the one he had to find.
