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 Taurus
The Gardener. Steady, sensual and sure.
20°08′
Moon in Gemini
The Moon moved from Taurus into Gemini at 3:06 a.m. that day, local time: in Taurus for a birth before then, in Gemini for one after.
5°19′
Mercury in Taurus
The Careful Thinker. Slow to decide, sure once decided.
0°27′
Venus in Aries
The Chaser. Love at first sight.
5°06′
Mars in Virgo
The Craftsperson. The craftsman’s drive.
15°20′

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 Sagittarius
The direction his life grows in: Sagittarius, free and far-ranging.
22°29′
Chiron in Aries
In Aries, Chiron is a doubt about the right to go first, and with it a talent for giving others their nerve.
2°10′
Black Moon Lilith in Libra
In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.
1°21′
The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.
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 0.2°
He put people at ease without trying: kindness and charm came from the same place.
Mars square Jupiter almost exact at 0.5°
He took on more than any one person could, and his boldness ran ahead of his plans.
Venus trine Neptune almost exact at 0.6°
A romantic with an artist’s eye: he saw the beauty in people and made it visible to others.
Venus square Pluto close at 1.1°
Love came with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where he stood.
The Sun quincunx North Node close at 2.4°
The way forward asked him to bend habits that felt like part of who he was.
Mercury sextile Uranus close at 2.9°
A quick, original mind: ideas arrived in flashes, and he saw answers others missed.

Venus trine Saturn wide at 3.4°
Loyal in love: he chose carefully, and what he built with people lasted.
Mercury sextile Pluto wide at 3.5°
A probing mind: he got to the bottom of things, and his words had power when he chose to use them.
Saturn conjunction Neptune wide at 4.0°
He took dreams seriously and gave them structure, and his ideals had to prove themselves.
Mercury square Neptune wide at 4.0°
Facts and dreams blurred together in his mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details mattered.
The Sun trine Mars wide at 4.8°
His purpose and his drive worked together: once he decided on something, he moved on it fast.
Uranus trine Pluto wide at 6.5°
He could help change things at the root, and upheaval suited him.
Jupiter opposition North Node wide at 6.7°
Easy hopes and the harder way forward went different ways, and real growth came from the harder one.
The Sun square Uranus wide at 7.4°
He needed room to be himself, and any rule that fit too tightly got broken.
