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 Gemini
The Sun moved from Gemini into Cancer at 3:03 p.m. that day, local time: in Gemini for a birth before then, in Cancer for one after.

Moon in Cancer
The Nest-Maker. Home is the heart.
8°20′
Mercury in Gemini
The Quick Wit. The messenger at home.
17°58′
Venus in Gemini
The Charmer. Love through conversation.
28°18′
Mars in Leo
The Leader. Courage with an audience.

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°47′
Chiron in Virgo
In Virgo, Chiron is the sense that no effort is ever quite enough, and a gift for patient, practical help.
11°10′
Black Moon Lilith in Virgo
In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.
13°44′
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 drive, his optimism and his intensity (Mars, Jupiter and Pluto) gather in Leo, and that part of life draws 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 conjunction Saturn almost exact at 0.3°
Serious from early on: purpose and duty are one thing to him, and he treats his own life as work to be done well.
Mercury sextile Mars almost exact at 0.5°
A quick, direct mind: he makes decisions fast and says what he means.
Saturn square Neptune close at 1.3°
The dream and the hard work seldom agree on terms: his discipline and his imagination ask different things of him.
The Sun conjunction Venus close at 1.6°
Charm comes naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things are close to his core.
The Sun square Neptune close at 1.6°
The self he knows and the image others see drift apart at times, and he works to keep hold of the real one.
Venus conjunction Saturn close at 1.8°
Serious about love: he gives affection slowly, and once given, it stays given.

Neptune sextile North Node wide at 3.7°
Imagination helps him forward, through art, ideals and care for others.
Mars conjunction Jupiter wide at 6.0°
Enthusiasm at full speed: he charges at life with confidence, and setbacks slow him only briefly.
The Sun sextile Jupiter wide at 6.4°
His confidence comes easily and spreads: he thinks big, and other people want to come along.
