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 Leo
The Bright One. Warm, proud and generous.
27°03′
Moon in Virgo
The Mender. Care in the details.
12°07′
Mercury in Virgo
The Analyst. The editor’s eye.
21°43′
Venus in Virgo
The Quiet Romantic. Love in small attentions.
11°56′
Mars in Virgo
The Craftsperson. The craftsman’s drive.
24°23′

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 Cancer
The direction his life grows in: Cancer, protective and caring.
27°28′
Chiron in Virgo
In Virgo, Chiron is the sense that no effort is ever quite enough, and a gift for patient, practical help.
17°56′
Black Moon Lilith in Virgo
In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.
20°24′
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 feelings, his mind, his heart, his drive and his optimism (the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars and Jupiter) 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.
The Moon conjunction Venus almost exact at 0.2°
Tenderness through and through: he needed beauty and affection the way others needed air.
The Moon square Uranus almost exact at 0.7°
His moods changed without warning, and he wanted closeness and room to breathe at the same time.
Venus square Uranus almost exact at 0.8°
Love came in sudden starts and stops: he fell for people quickly and needed room just as quickly.
Jupiter sextile Saturn close at 2.0°
Hope and caution in balance: he dreamed big and planned carefully, and both helped.
Mercury conjunction Mars close at 2.7°
He thought fast and spoke faster: his mind liked a contest, and his words had an edge.
Mars sextile North Node wide at 3.1°
Courage moved him forward, and each bold step took him further along his path.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Uranus sextile Pluto wide at 3.9°
He could help change things at the root, and upheaval suited him.
Saturn square Neptune wide at 4.7°
The dream and the hard work seldom agreed on terms: his discipline and his imagination asked different things of him.
Venus conjunction Jupiter wide at 6.6°
A generous heart: love and good company came to him easily, and he shared both.
The Sun conjunction Jupiter wide at 8.3°
Optimism at the centre of him: he expected things to go well, and that confidence won people over.
