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 Capricorn
The Architect. Ambitious, patient and dry.
15°24′
Moon in Gemini
The Talker. Feeling by talking.
17°44′
Mercury in Capricorn
The Planner. Foundations first.
22°36′
Venus in Sagittarius
Venus moved from Scorpio into Sagittarius at 6:49 a.m. that day, local time: in Scorpio for a birth before then, in Sagittarius 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 Capricorn
The direction his life grows in: Capricorn, ambitious and patient.
5°33′
Chiron in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Chiron is the feeling of having grown up too soon, and a gift for showing others how to stand on their own.
28°10′
Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Lilith is an intensity and a private power that stay unexplained.
23°00′
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.
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 mind (Mercury in Capricorn) and his optimism and his independence (Jupiter and Uranus, together in Cancer) face each other across the wheel, and his imagination (Neptune in Libra) takes the strain: the part of him that works hardest.
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 drive and his optimism (Venus in Sagittarius, Mars in Pisces and Jupiter in Cancer) make the triangle, so these come 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.
Jupiter conjunction Uranus almost exact at 0.1°
An inventive optimism: he believes in the new, and he takes leaps others would not.
Mercury sextile Mars close at 1.2°
A quick, direct mind: he makes decisions fast and says what he means.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.6°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Jupiter square Neptune close at 1.9°
His hopes run ahead of what is real, and he learns to check a beautiful idea against the facts.
Uranus square Neptune close at 2.0°
The urge for change and the longing for ideals clash, and he lives with both.
Mars trine Uranus close at 2.3°
Quick and inventive in action: he moves fast, breaks with habit and makes sudden changes work.
