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.

Beyond the planetsNorth Node in Cancer, Chiron and Lilith
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.

    2°13′

  • Chiron in Pisces

    In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.

    18°28′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius

    In Sagittarius, Lilith is a free mind that keeps only the beliefs it chose.

    14°43′

The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.

PatternsStellium, T-square
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 mind, his drive and his optimism (Mercury, Mars and Jupiter) gather in Taurus, and that part of life drew his attention first.

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 Pisces) and his independence and his intensity (Uranus and Pluto, together in Virgo) face each other across the wheel, and his identity (the Sun in Gemini) took the strain: the part of him that worked hardest.

Aspects by strength25 between the planets, the closest first
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 square Saturn almost exact at 0.4°

    Self-belief came slowly and had to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counted.

  • Venus sextile Uranus almost exact at 0.6°

    He loved the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.

  • Mercury conjunction Jupiter almost exact at 0.9°

    He loved ideas, the bigger the better, and he could talk anyone into hoping.

  • Saturn opposition Uranus close at 1.3°

    Tradition and rebellion fought in him: he wanted security and freedom, and could rarely have both at once.

  • Jupiter trine Pluto close at 1.4°

    Ambition with depth: he knew how to build influence, and he used it to make big changes.

  • Mars trine Pluto close at 1.7°

    Stamina and willpower: he kept going long after others stopped, and he did his best work under pressure.

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.

No fire at all, so the bold first move came by choice rather than by instinct.
