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.

29°52′
Moon in Virgo
The Moon moved from Leo into Virgo at 7:17 a.m. that day, local time: in Leo for a birth before then, in Virgo for one after.

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.
17°13′
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.
9°50′
Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Lilith is the outsider’s streak, at its best when it does not fit in.
25°15′
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 drive, his optimism and his discipline (Mars, Jupiter and Saturn) gather in Libra, and that part of life drew his attention first.
Grand trine
Three planets in an easy triangle, each in flowing contact with the other two: a gift that comes without effort.
In his chart, his mind, his independence and his intensity (Mercury in Scorpio, Uranus in Pisces and Pluto in Cancer) make the triangle, so these came to him naturally.
Grand trine
Three planets in an easy triangle, each in flowing contact with the other two: a gift that comes without effort.
In his chart, his heart, his independence and his intensity (Venus in Scorpio, Uranus in Pisces and Pluto in Cancer) make the triangle, so these came to him naturally.
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.
Mars square Pluto almost exact at 0.1°
A fierce will: he met opposition head on, and a fight brought out his full strength.
Mercury conjunction Venus almost exact at 0.8°
Words with charm in them: he had an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people liked listening to him.
Saturn quincunx Uranus almost exact at 0.8°
When to keep the rules and when to break them took constant deciding.
