The chart, fact by fact
Planets

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 Virgo
The Fixer. Precise, useful and kind.

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 Taurus
The direction his life grows in: Taurus, steady and sensual.
25°36′
Chiron in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Chiron is a wariness about trust that runs deep, and the strength to stay close when others are at their lowest.
6°55′
Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.
25°13′
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 feelings and his heart (the Sun, the Moon and Venus) gather in Virgo, 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.
The Sun sextile Mars almost exact at 0.7°
His purpose and his drive worked together: once he decided on something, he moved on it fast.
Venus sextile Jupiter close at 1.0°
Affection came to him with generosity attached: his heart and his optimism helped each other.
Venus trine North Node close at 1.9°
Love and friendship moved him forward: the people he cared for helped him find his way.
The Sun sextile Jupiter close at 1.9°
His confidence came easily and spread: he thought big, and other people wanted to come along.
Venus square Uranus close at 2.3°
Love came in sudden starts and stops: he fell for people quickly and needed room just as quickly.
Mars trine Jupiter close at 2.6°
Big drive and big confidence: he went after large goals, and his enthusiasm carried others along.

The Sun trine North Node wide at 4.8°

The Sun square Uranus wide at 5.2°
He needed room to be himself, and any rule that fit too tightly got broken.
Jupiter square Saturn wide at 5.4°
Growth and caution kept checking each other: he moved forward in bursts, then paused to consolidate.
Mercury conjunction Neptune wide at 5.5°
A poet’s mind: he heard what went unsaid, and his best ideas came from somewhere hard to explain.
