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 Sagittarius, 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 Sagittarius

    The direction his life grows in: Sagittarius, free and far-ranging.

    6°06′

  • Chiron in Gemini

    In Gemini, Chiron is an old fear of not being heard, which becomes a gift for finding the words others lack.

    29°36′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius

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

    17°01′

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

PatternsT-square, 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.

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 feelings (the Moon in Scorpio) and his independence (Uranus in Taurus) face each other across the wheel, and his drive (Mars in Aquarius) takes the strain: the part of him that works hardest.

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 imagination (Neptune in Virgo) face each other across the wheel, and his mind (Mercury in Sagittarius) takes the strain: the part of him that works hardest.

Aspects by strength18 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 Moon opposition Uranus almost exact at 0.5°

    His moods change without warning, and he wants closeness and room to breathe at the same time.

  • Venus sextile Neptune close at 1.1°

    A romantic with an artist’s eye: he sees the beauty in people and makes it visible to others.

  • Saturn trine Pluto close at 1.6°

    Endurance: he can work through hard times, and what he builds survives pressure.

  • The Sun conjunction North Node close at 1.8°

    His identity and his direction in life line up: the more fully he becomes himself, the further he goes.

  • Jupiter sextile Saturn close at 2.4°

    Hope and caution in balance: he dreams big and plans carefully, and both help.

  • The Sun quincunx Uranus close at 2.8°

    His restlessness keeps testing his plans, so he changes course more than once to stay true to himself.
