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 Leo
The Bright One. Warm, proud and generous.

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 Virgo
The direction his life grows in: Virgo, precise and helpful.
11°52′
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.
21°02′
Black Moon Lilith in Taurus
In Taurus, Lilith is an appetite for pleasure that sees no need to apologise.
3°50′
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 mind, his drive and his imagination (the Sun, Mercury, Mars and Neptune) gather in Leo, and that part of life drew his attention first.
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 feelings (the Moon in Aries) and his discipline (Saturn in Libra) face each other across the wheel, and his intensity (Pluto in Cancer) took the strain: the part of him that worked 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 optimism, his independence and his intensity (Jupiter 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.
Pluto sextile North Node almost exact at 0.4°
Deep change helped him forward: each time he started over, he went further.
Uranus quincunx Neptune almost exact at 0.6°
Sudden change and slow dreams kept adjusting to each other.
The Sun square Jupiter close at 1.0°
He reached for more than one life could hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
Mars square Jupiter close at 1.1°
He took on more than any one person could, and his boldness ran ahead of his plans.
Jupiter trine Pluto close at 1.4°
Ambition with depth: he knew how to build influence, and he used it to make big changes.
The Moon square Pluto close at 1.6°
