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 Aries, 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 Aries

    The direction his life grows in: Aries, bold and direct.

    0°10′

  • 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.

    3°41′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Cancer

    In Cancer, Lilith is a fierce need to belong, and no wish to look after anyone on command.

    2°46′

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

PatternsStellium, Yod
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 mind, his heart and his discipline (the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Saturn) gather in Aries, and that part of life draws his attention first.

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 optimism (Jupiter in Virgo) and his imagination (Neptune in Scorpio) both point at his discipline (Saturn in Aries), the part of him that keeps needing adjustment and gives his life its focus.

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 square Pluto almost exact at 0.4°

    He loves hard and holds on hard, and letting go takes him a long time.

  • Jupiter sextile Neptune almost exact at 0.7°

    Faith and imagination together: he believes in people and ideals, and that belief is catching.

  • Jupiter opposition North Node close at 1.1°

    Easy hopes and the harder way forward go different ways, and real growth comes from the harder one.

  • Uranus opposition North Node close at 1.1°

    The way forward asks for steadiness, and the urge for change keeps breaking in.

  • Saturn quincunx Neptune close at 1.2°

    Duty and dreams keep trading places as the priority.

  • The Sun conjunction Mercury close at 1.4°

    His mind and his identity are close together: he speaks as he thinks, and his ideas are part of who he is.
