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 Leo
The Bright One. Warm, proud and generous.
1°32′
Moon in Gemini
The Talker. Feeling by talking.
10°40′
Mercury in Cancer
The Remembering Mind. A memory for tone.
11°54′
Venus in Virgo
The Quiet Romantic. Love in small attentions.

Mars in Aries
The Trailblazer. First through the door.

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 Pisces
The direction his life grows in: Pisces, dreamy and compassionate.
19°57′
Black Moon Lilith in Cancer
In Cancer, Lilith is a fierce need to belong, and no wish to look after anyone on command.
6°36′
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.
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 feelings, his imagination and his intensity (the Moon in Gemini, Neptune in Libra and Pluto in Aquarius) make the triangle, so these came to him naturally.
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 and his independence (Mercury and Uranus, together in Cancer) and his discipline (Saturn in Capricorn) face each other across the wheel, and his drive (Mars in Aries) took the strain: the part of him that worked hardest.

Grand cross
Four planets in a square, two pairs pulling against each other: strain on every side, and great staying power.
In his chart, his mind, his drive, his discipline and his imagination (Mercury in Cancer, Mars in Aries, Saturn in Capricorn and Neptune in Libra) make the cross, and he learned to hold all four at once.

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.
Uranus quincunx Pluto almost exact at 0.1°
Freedom and control needed constant adjusting, and he changed in stages rather than all at once.
Saturn square Neptune almost exact at 0.2°
The dream and the hard work seldom agreed on terms: his discipline and his imagination asked different things of him.
Mars square Saturn almost exact at 0.8°
Drive with the brakes on: he wanted to move, something held him back, and the friction made him tough.
Mars opposition Neptune close at 1.0°
Drive and dreams mixed uneasily: the goal was clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.
Neptune trine Pluto close at 1.2°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Uranus square Neptune close at 1.3°
The urge for change and the longing for ideals clashed, and he lived with both.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Saturn opposition Uranus close at 1.5°
Tradition and rebellion fought in him: he wanted security and freedom, and could rarely have both at once.
The Moon trine Pluto close at 1.7°
His feelings ran deep and held steady: he came through hard times with more strength than he went in with.
Mars sextile Pluto close at 2.2°
Stamina and willpower: he kept going long after others stopped, and he did his best work under pressure.
Mars square Uranus close at 2.3°
Restless and quick to rebel: he pushed against limits, and sudden decisions came with the territory.
Mercury conjunction Uranus close at 2.8°
He thought in leaps: brilliant, contrary and quick to get bored with the obvious.
The Moon trine Neptune close at 2.9°
He picked up what others felt before a word was said, and his compassion reached far.
Venus opposition North Node wide at 3.6°
What felt comfortable in love and what helped him grow were different things, and he chose between them more than once.
Mercury square Neptune wide at 4.1°
Facts and dreams blurred together in his mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details mattered.
Mercury opposition Saturn wide at 4.3°
He doubted his own ideas before anyone else could, and so he checked every one twice.
Mercury sextile Venus wide at 4.4°
A graceful mind: he spoke kindly and well, and he knew how to say a hard thing gently.
The Sun opposition Jupiter wide at 4.5°
He reached for more than one life could hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
Mercury square Mars wide at 5.2°
Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argued well, sometimes too well, and a debate was a kind of sport to him.
The Sun trine Mars wide at 5.2°
His purpose and his drive worked together: once he decided on something, he moved on it fast.
The Sun sextile Neptune wide at 6.3°
Imagination and identity worked together: he could become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
The Sun opposition Pluto wide at 7.5°
Nothing about him was halfway: he insisted on running his own life, and the struggle made him formidable.
