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 Cancer
The Protector. Home, memory and care.
18°36′
Moon in Virgo
The Moon moved from Virgo into Libra at 8:27 p.m. that day, local time: in Virgo for a birth before then, in Libra for one after.
25°15′
Mercury in Leo
The Storyteller. A voice that carries.
14°37′
Venus in Virgo
The Quiet Romantic. Love in small attentions.
2°30′

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.
7°14′
Chiron in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.
26°53′
Black Moon Lilith in Taurus
In Taurus, Lilith is an appetite for pleasure that sees no need to apologise.
26°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.
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 independence (Mercury, Mars and Uranus) 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.
Venus conjunction Pluto exact at 0.0°
A deep, private heart: he draws people in and keeps some feelings locked away.
Venus trine Saturn almost exact at 0.1°
Loyal in love: he chooses carefully, and what he builds with people lasts.
Saturn trine Pluto almost exact at 0.2°
Endurance: he can work through hard times, and what he builds survives pressure.
Mercury conjunction Uranus almost exact at 0.3°
He thinks in leaps: brilliant, contrary and quick to get bored with the obvious.
Saturn sextile Neptune close at 1.5°
Practical dreams: he gives ideals a shape and works to make them real.
Venus sextile Neptune close at 1.7°
A romantic with an artist’s eye: he sees the beauty in people and makes it visible to others.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.7°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Mars square Jupiter close at 2.3°
He takes on more than any one person can, and his boldness runs ahead of his plans.
The Sun trine Jupiter wide at 3.6°
His confidence comes easily and spreads: he thinks big, and other people want to come along.
Saturn square North Node wide at 4.6°
Duty and growth compete: what he owes others and where he needs to go call for hard choices.
Chart signature
What’s this?Close
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.

Modes
The Moon changed sign that day; it is counted where it stood at noon.
No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through takes deliberate effort.
