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 Sagittarius
The Explorer. Honest, free and far-seeing.
22°01′
Moon in Cancer
The Moon moved from Cancer into Leo at 11:43 p.m. that day, local time: in Cancer for a birth before then, in Leo for one after.
24°13′
Mercury in Capricorn
The Planner. Foundations first.
11°53′
Venus in Scorpio
The Devotee. All or nothing.
20°38′
Mars in Pisces
The Gentle Warrior. Strength that flows round.

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.
14°50′
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.
20°15′
Black Moon Lilith in Gemini
In Gemini, Lilith is the quick tongue that says out loud what the room only thinks.
29°45′
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.
Grand trine
Three planets in an easy triangle, each in flowing contact with the other two: a gift that comes without effort.
In his chart, his feelings, his heart and his drive (the Moon in Cancer, Venus in Scorpio and Mars in Pisces) make the triangle, so these came to him naturally.
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.
The Sun trine Neptune almost exact at 0.5°
Imagination and identity worked together: he could become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
Mercury opposition Pluto close at 1.0°
His words had force: he spoke to persuade, and he kept his own counsel until the right moment.
Mercury sextile Saturn close at 1.4°
A patient, exact mind: he chose every word, and his thinking got sharper with practice.
Venus square Neptune close at 1.9°
He loved the dream of a person, and the real one had to compete with it.
Mars square Jupiter close at 2.2°
He took on more than any one person could, and his boldness ran ahead of his plans.
Saturn trine Pluto close at 2.5°
Endurance: he could work through hard times, and what he built survived pressure.

The Sun square Mars wide at 4.9°

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 air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through took deliberate effort.
