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 Messenger. Curious and many-sided.
2°12′
Moon in Leo
The Moon moved from Cancer into Leo at 10:14 a.m. that day, local time: in Cancer for a birth before then, in Leo for one after.
0°55′
Mercury in Taurus
The Careful Thinker. Slow to decide, sure once decided.
8°07′

The Chaser. Love at first sight.

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.
23°35′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
3°20′
Black Moon Lilith in Gemini
In Gemini, Lilith is the quick tongue that says out loud what the room only thinks.
3°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 mind (Mercury in Taurus) and his independence (Uranus in Scorpio) face each other across the wheel, and his discipline (Saturn in Leo) takes the strain: the part of him that works 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.
Saturn sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.1°
Endurance: he can work through hard times, and what he builds survives pressure.
Jupiter sextile Saturn almost exact at 0.6°
Hope and caution in balance: he dreams big and plans carefully, and both help.
Mercury opposition Uranus almost exact at 0.7°
His mind runs ahead of the conversation: he says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.
Jupiter trine Pluto almost exact at 0.8°
Ambition with depth: he knows how to build influence, and he uses it to make big changes.
Venus conjunction Mars almost exact at 0.8°
Magnetic: affection and desire come together in him, and people notice.
The Sun sextile the Moon close at 1.3°
His purpose and his feelings are on the same side: the life he chooses and the comfort he needs go together.

Jupiter quincunx Uranus close at 2.0°
His hopes and his restlessness keep changing places, and he redraws his plans more than once.
Saturn square Uranus close at 2.7°
Tradition and rebellion fight in him: he wants security and freedom, and can rarely have both at once.

Mars opposition North Node wide at 3.8°
Old fights and the way forward disagree, and he grows by choosing which battles matter.

He works for ideals: his drive comes alive for a cause, a role or a dream.
Venus opposition North Node wide at 4.7°
What feels comfortable in love and what helps him grow are different things, and he chooses between them more than once.
Venus opposition Pluto wide at 7.3°

The Sun conjunction Jupiter wide at 8.7°
Optimism at the centre of him: he expects things to go well, and that confidence wins people over.
