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 Taurus
The Gardener. Steady, sensual and sure.
16°38′
Moon in Aries
The Quick Flame. Quick to flare, quick to forgive.
16°59′
Mercury in Taurus
Mercury moved from Aries into Taurus at 5:58 a.m. that day, local time: in Aries for a birth before then, in Taurus for one after.
0°28′
Venus in Taurus
The Keeper. Slow, sensual and loyal.

Mars in Gemini
The Multitasker. Quick with the comeback.

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 Capricorn
The direction his life grows in: Capricorn, ambitious and patient.
15°25′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
1°54′
Black Moon Lilith in Aries
In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.
21°38′
The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.
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.
Venus trine North Node exact at 0.0°
Love and friendship moved him forward: the people he cared for helped him find his way.
The Moon trine Jupiter almost exact at 0.9°
Good-hearted and generous: he felt looked after by life, and he passed that on.
The Sun conjunction Venus close at 1.2°
Charm came naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things were close to his core.
The Sun trine North Node close at 1.2°
The direction his life took suited him: being himself and growing went hand in hand.
The Sun square Jupiter close at 1.3°
He reached for more than one life could hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
The Moon square North Node close at 1.6°
Home comforts and the way forward asked for different things, and growing meant leaving some familiar things behind.

Saturn quincunx Neptune close at 1.9°

Mercury trine Saturn close at 2.2°
A patient, exact mind: he chose every word, and his thinking got sharper with practice.
Venus square Jupiter close at 2.5°
He loved too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures ran past what one life could use.
Jupiter quincunx North Node close at 2.5°
Some hopes had to be let go to fit the way forward, and he chose which ones.
Mars sextile Jupiter wide at 4.4°

Pluto trine North Node wide at 6.3°
Deep change helped him forward: each time he started over, he went further.
Venus conjunction Pluto wide at 6.3°
A deep, private heart: he drew people in and kept some feelings locked away.
Saturn trine Pluto wide at 6.5°
Endurance: he could work through hard times, and what he built survived pressure.
The Sun conjunction Pluto wide at 7.5°
Intensity at the centre: he wanted the whole truth about everything, himself first, and he remade himself more than once to reach it.

No water at all, so feelings came out in actions more than in words.
