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 Leo
The Bright One. Warm, proud and generous.
13°37′
Moon in Aries
The Moon moved from Pisces into Aries at 7:19 a.m. that day, local time: in Pisces for a birth before then, in Aries for one after.
2°53′
Mercury in Virgo
The Analyst. The editor’s eye.
6°05′
Venus in Virgo
The Quiet Romantic. Love in small attentions.
10°53′
Mars in Cancer
The Defender. Fierce for its own.

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 Capricorn
The direction his life grows in: Capricorn, ambitious and patient.
10°18′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
29°26′
Black Moon Lilith in Virgo
In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.
0°14′
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 identity, his discipline and his imagination (the Sun, Saturn and Neptune) gather in Leo, and that part of life drew 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.
Mercury sextile Mars almost exact at 0.3°
A quick, direct mind: he made decisions fast and said what he meant.
Saturn conjunction Neptune almost exact at 0.5°
He took dreams seriously and gave them structure, and his ideals had to prove themselves.
Venus trine North Node almost exact at 0.6°
Love and friendship moved him forward: the people he cared for helped him find his way.
Mercury square Jupiter almost exact at 0.9°
Big ideas and loose details: he thought on a large scale, and the small print was where things got away from him.
Mercury sextile Pluto close at 1.2°
A probing mind: he got to the bottom of things, and his words had power when he chose to use them.
Mars conjunction Pluto close at 1.5°
Concentrated force: when he wanted something, he went after it with everything.
