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 Aquarius
The Free Thinker. Original, free and humane.
28°09′
Moon in Aries
The Moon moved from Pisces into Aries at 4:51 a.m. that day, local time: in Pisces for a birth before then, in Aries for one after.
4°22′
Mercury in Aquarius
The Inventor. The original thinker.
28°29′
Venus in Aries
The Chaser. Love at first sight.
8°39′
Mars in Taurus
The Stayer. Slow to start, impossible to stop.
4°42′

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 Aquarius
The direction his life grows in: Aquarius, independent and original.
5°06′
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.
10°49′
Black Moon Lilith in Libra
In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.
29°16′
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.
T-square
Two planets pull against each other, and a third stands at right angles to both, where the strain gathers.
In his chart, his discipline (Saturn in Taurus) and his imagination (Neptune in Sagittarius) face each other across the wheel, and his identity (the Sun in Aquarius) took the strain: the part of him that worked hardest.
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.
Neptune sextile North Node almost exact at 0.1°
Imagination helped him forward, through art, ideals and care for others.
The Sun conjunction Mercury almost exact at 0.3°
His mind and his identity were close together: he spoke as he thought, and his ideas were part of who he was.
Mars square North Node almost exact at 0.4°
Old fights and the way forward disagreed, and he grew by choosing which battles mattered.
Jupiter square Pluto almost exact at 0.4°
He wanted more power than came easily, and the struggle for it shaped his life.
Mars quincunx Neptune almost exact at 0.5°
His drive and his imagination spoke different languages: he went after something before he could say what it was.
The Moon trine Neptune almost exact at 0.8°
He picked up what others felt before a word was said, and his compassion reached far.
