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 Virgo
The Fixer. Precise, useful and kind.
1°00′
Moon in Leo
The Warm Heart. Warm heart, big feelings.
16°23′
Mercury in Virgo
The Analyst. The editor’s eye.
24°52′
Venus in Libra
The Sweetheart. Grace, romance and balance.
5°18′
Mars in Virgo
The Craftsperson. The craftsman’s drive.

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 Scorpio
The direction his life grows in: Scorpio, intense and private.
13°28′
Chiron in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.
13°56′
Black Moon Lilith in Pisces
In Pisces, Lilith is a dreamer who wants no rescuing, with a private world all its own.
10°02′
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 intensity (the Sun, Mercury, Mars and Pluto) gather in Virgo, and that part of life draws 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.
Neptune sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.1°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
The Sun sextile Neptune almost exact at 0.7°
Imagination and identity work together: he can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
The Sun conjunction Pluto almost exact at 0.8°
Intensity at the centre: he wants the whole truth about everything, himself first, and he remakes himself more than once to reach it.
Saturn trine Uranus close at 1.0°
Old and new sit well together: he can change things without throwing out what works.
Venus conjunction Jupiter close at 2.0°
A generous heart: love and good company come to him easily, and he shares both.
Mars square Saturn close at 2.5°
Drive with the brakes on: he wants to move, something holds him back, and the friction makes him tough.

Purpose and drive in one place: he is quick to start, quick to compete and hard to stop.
