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 Libra
The Diplomat. Grace, fairness and balance.
11°33′
Moon in Scorpio
The Moon moved from Scorpio into Sagittarius at 3:41 p.m. that day, local time: in Scorpio for a birth before then, in Sagittarius for one after.
28°09′
Mercury in Scorpio
The Investigator. Hears what was left out.
4°07′

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.
25°18′
Chiron in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Chiron is the feeling of having grown up too soon, and a gift for showing others how to stand on their own.
9°10′
Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Lilith is a free mind that keeps only the beliefs it chose.
26°33′
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.
Yod
Two planets in easy contact both point awkwardly at a third, which becomes the focus: a talent that takes constant adjusting.
In his chart, his drive (Mars in Leo) and his intensity (Pluto in Gemini) both point at his discipline (Saturn in Capricorn), the part of him that kept needing adjustment and gave his life its focus.
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 sextile Venus almost exact at 0.3°
He put people at ease without trying: kindness and charm came from the same place.
Mercury trine Neptune almost exact at 0.4°
He thought in pictures and music: his words carried a mood, and his imagination gave his ideas colour.
Mars sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.4°
Stamina and willpower: he kept going long after others stopped, and he did his best work under pressure.
Mars trine Uranus close at 1.3°
Quick and inventive in action: he moved fast, broke with habit and made sudden changes work.
Saturn quincunx Pluto close at 1.6°
He kept adjusting between control and acceptance, and learned where each belonged.
Uranus opposition Pluto close at 1.7°
Upheaval and the urge to break free ran strong, and he pushed for change rather than waiting for it.

Mars quincunx Saturn close at 2.0°
When to push and when to wait took constant judging, and he learned timing the hard way.
Mercury square Jupiter wide at 3.3°

Duty and growth competed: what he owed others and where he needed to go called for hard choices.
The Sun trine Jupiter wide at 4.1°
His confidence came easily and spread: he thought big, and other people wanted to come along.
Pluto trine North Node wide at 5.6°

He loved the dream of a person, and the real one had to compete with it.
The Sun sextile Uranus wide at 6.4°
Independence came easily: he did things his own way, and people found it refreshing rather than rude.
The Sun square Neptune wide at 7.8°
The self he knew and the image others saw drifted apart at times, and he worked to keep hold of the real one.
The Sun trine Pluto wide at 8.1°
A quiet strength: under pressure he grew more focused, and he knew how to start over.
