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.
23°18′
Moon in Pisces
The Moon moved from Aquarius into Pisces at 4:17 a.m. that day, local time: in Aquarius for a birth before then, in Pisces for one after.
4°48′
Mercury in Virgo
The Analyst. The editor’s eye.
10°14′
Venus in Libra
The Sweetheart. Grace, romance and balance.
8°32′
Mars in Gemini
The Multitasker. Quick with the comeback.

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.
8°57′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
9°13′
Black Moon Lilith in Libra
In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.
2°23′
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 mind, his independence and his intensity (Mercury, Uranus 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.
Jupiter opposition Pluto almost exact at 0.4°
He wants more power than comes easily, and the struggle for it shapes his life.
Venus sextile North Node almost exact at 0.4°
Love and friendship move him forward: the people he cares for help him find his way.
Mercury opposition Jupiter almost exact at 0.6°
Big ideas and loose details: he thinks on a large scale, and the small print is where things get away from him.
Mercury sextile Neptune almost exact at 0.6°
He thinks in pictures and music: his words carry a mood, and his imagination gives his ideas colour.
Jupiter quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.7°
Some hopes have to be let go to fit the way forward, and he chooses which ones.
Mercury conjunction Pluto close at 1.0°
He thinks like a detective: nothing is taken at face value, and he remembers everything.

Venus quincunx Jupiter close at 1.1°

Neptune square North Node close at 1.9°
Dreams and the way forward clash, and growing means trading some illusions for clear sight.

Saturn quincunx Pluto close at 2.4°
He keeps adjusting between control and acceptance, and learns where each belongs.
The Sun sextile Mars close at 2.9°
His purpose and his drive work together: once he decides on something, he moves on it fast.
Saturn square Neptune wide at 4.0°
The dream and the hard work seldom agree on terms: his discipline and his imagination ask different things of him.
Mars sextile Uranus wide at 4.2°
Quick and inventive in action: he moves fast, breaks with habit and makes sudden changes work.
The Sun conjunction Uranus wide at 7.1°
Born original: his identity and his need for freedom are the same thing, and he surprises people, himself included.
