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 Cancer
The Sun moved from Gemini into Cancer at 6:25 a.m. that day, local time: in Gemini for a birth before then, in Cancer for one after.

Moon in Aquarius
The Cool Head. Cool head, warm heart.
22°21′
Mercury in Gemini
The Quick Wit. The messenger at home.
12°09′
Venus in Leo
The Romantic. Grand, generous love.

Mars in Taurus
The Stayer. Slow to start, impossible to stop.

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 Leo
The direction his life grows in: Leo, warm and dramatic.
9°27′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
10°52′
Black Moon Lilith in Virgo
In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.
26°11′
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.
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 optimism (Jupiter in Pisces) and his intensity (Pluto in Virgo) face each other across the wheel, and his mind (Mercury in Gemini) takes the strain: the part of him that works hardest.
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 heart (Venus in Leo) and his discipline (Saturn in Aquarius) face each other across the wheel, and his imagination (Neptune in Scorpio) takes the strain: the part of him that works hardest.
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.
Saturn square Neptune almost exact at 0.3°
The dream and the hard work seldom agree on terms: his discipline and his imagination ask different things of him.
Mercury square Jupiter almost exact at 0.4°
Big ideas and loose details: he thinks on a large scale, and the small print is where things get away from him.
Mercury quincunx Neptune close at 1.2°
Meaning comes to him before the words do, and clear speech follows the feeling.
Saturn opposition North Node close at 1.2°
Duty and growth compete: what he owes others and where he needs to go call for hard choices.
Mercury trine Saturn close at 1.5°
A patient, exact mind: he chooses every word, and his thinking gets sharper with practice.
Neptune square North Node close at 1.5°
Dreams and the way forward clash, and growing means trading some illusions for clear sight.

Mercury sextile North Node close at 2.7°
His way with words helps him find his direction, and the right ideas come at the right time.

Saturn quincunx Pluto close at 2.8°
He keeps adjusting between control and acceptance, and learns where each belongs.
Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 3.2°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Venus conjunction North Node wide at 3.7°

Mercury square Pluto wide at 4.3°
His words have force: he speaks to persuade, and he keeps his own counsel until the right moment.
Jupiter opposition Pluto wide at 4.7°
He wants more power than comes easily, and the struggle for it shapes his life.
Venus opposition Saturn wide at 4.9°
Love feels like something to be earned, and he holds back until he is sure of it.
Venus square Neptune wide at 5.2°
He loves the dream of a person, and the real one has to compete with it.
Mars opposition Neptune wide at 6.8°
Drive and dreams mix uneasily: the goal is clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.
