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 Libra
The Diplomat. Grace, fairness and balance.
10°54′
Moon in Gemini
The Moon moved from Taurus into Gemini at 9:13 a.m. that day, local time: in Taurus for a birth before then, in Gemini for one after.
1°42′
Mercury in Scorpio
The Investigator. Hears what was left out.
4°23′
Venus in Virgo
The Quiet Romantic. Love in small attentions.
21°03′
Mars in Scorpio
The Strategist. Will under a still surface.

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 Aquarius
The direction his life grows in: Aquarius, independent and original.
14°26′
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.
7°50′
Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Lilith is a free mind that keeps only the beliefs it chose.
11°31′
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.
Yod
Two planets in easy contact both point awkwardly at a third, which becomes the focus: a talent that takes constant adjusting.
In his chart, his mind (Mercury in Scorpio) and his independence (Uranus in Capricorn) both point at his optimism (Jupiter in Gemini), the part of him that kept needing adjustment and gave his life its focus.
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 Uranus almost exact at 0.8°
A quick, original mind: ideas arrived in flashes, and he saw answers others missed.
Uranus conjunction Neptune close at 1.0°
Visionary: the new and the ideal met in his imagination.
Venus sextile Mars close at 1.1°
Charm and desire worked together: he knew what he wanted in love and how to win it.
Mercury sextile Neptune close at 1.8°
He thought in pictures and music: his words carried a mood, and his imagination gave his ideas colour.
Mercury quincunx Jupiter close at 2.1°
The facts and the bigger picture needed constant reconciling, and he kept checking one against the other.
The Sun quincunx Saturn close at 2.2°
The wish to shine and the wish to be careful needed steady adjusting: he moved forward a step, then checked it.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Jupiter quincunx Uranus close at 2.9°
His hopes and his restlessness kept changing places, and he redrew his plans more than once.
The Sun trine North Node wide at 3.5°
The direction his life took suited him: being himself and growing went hand in hand.
Uranus square Pluto wide at 3.9°
Upheaval and the urge to break free ran strong, and he pushed for change rather than waiting for it.
Mercury opposition Saturn wide at 4.3°
He doubted his own ideas before anyone else could, and so he checked every one twice.
The Sun trine Jupiter wide at 4.4°
His confidence came easily and spread: he thought big, and other people wanted to come along.
Saturn trine Uranus wide at 5.0°
Old and new sat well together: he could change things without throwing out what worked.
Saturn square North Node wide at 5.8°
Duty and growth competed: what he owed others and where he needed to go called for hard choices.
Saturn trine Neptune wide at 6.0°
Practical dreams: he gave ideals a shape and worked to make them real.
The Sun square Uranus wide at 7.3°
He needed room to be himself, and any rule that fit too tightly got broken.
The Sun square Neptune wide at 8.3°
The self he knew and the image others saw drifted apart at times, and he worked to keep hold of the real one.
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.
Elements
Modes
The Moon changed sign that day; it is counted where it stood at noon.
No fire at all, so the bold first move came by choice rather than by instinct.
