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 Pisces
The Dreamer. Gentle, dreamy and deep.
18°57′
Moon in Pisces
The Moon moved from Pisces into Aries at 10:01 p.m. that day, local time: in Pisces for a birth before then, in Aries for one after.

The Keeper. Slow, sensual and loyal.

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 Libra
The direction his life grows in: Libra, graceful and fair.
20°11′
Chiron in Cancer
In Cancer, Chiron is an early longing to belong somewhere, and a knack for making strangers feel at home.
14°00′
Black Moon Lilith in Pisces
In Pisces, Lilith is a dreamer who wants no rescuing, with a private world all its own.
19°39′
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 heart, his drive and his independence (Venus, Mars and Uranus) gather in Taurus, 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 Sun sextile Uranus almost exact at 0.2°
Independence came easily: he did things his own way, and people found it refreshing rather than rude.
Venus square Pluto almost exact at 0.3°
Love came with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where he stood.
The Moon opposition Neptune almost exact at 0.8°
His feelings and his imagination pulled in different directions: he lived between what was real and what he longed for.
The Sun quincunx North Node close at 1.2°
The way forward asked him to bend habits that felt like part of who he was.
Uranus quincunx North Node close at 1.4°
Sudden changes kept shifting the way forward, and he adapted each time.
Mercury trine Pluto close at 1.5°
A probing mind: he got to the bottom of things, and his words had power when he chose to use them.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Saturn square Pluto close at 2.1°
Heavy demands and hard limits: he faced a great deal of pressure and came out tougher for it.
Venus conjunction Saturn close at 2.3°
Serious about love: he gave affection slowly, and once given, it stayed given.
Mars conjunction Uranus wide at 4.2°
Electric: he acted on impulse, loved a risk and refused to be told what to do.
The Sun sextile Mars wide at 4.4°
His purpose and his drive worked together: once he decided on something, he moved on it fast.
Mercury opposition Neptune wide at 5.1°
Facts and dreams blurred together in his mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details mattered.
The Sun opposition Neptune wide at 5.3°
The self he knew and the image others saw drifted apart at times, and he worked to keep hold of the real one.
Uranus trine Neptune wide at 5.5°
Change and idealism went together: new ideas came wrapped in dreams of a better world.
Jupiter opposition North Node wide at 6.2°
Easy hopes and the harder way forward went different ways, and real growth came from the harder one.
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.
