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 Sagittarius
The Sun moved from Scorpio into Sagittarius at 4:49 a.m. that day, local time: in Scorpio for a birth before then, in Sagittarius for one after.
0°18′
Moon in Virgo
The Moon moved from Leo into Virgo at 10:11 a.m. that day, local time: in Leo for a birth before then, in Virgo for one after.

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 Libra
The direction his life grows in: Libra, graceful and fair.
9°42′
Chiron in Leo
In Leo, Chiron is a quiet doubt about deserving the light, and a gift for helping others shine without apology.
1°25′
Black Moon Lilith in Aries
In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.
18°15′
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 optimism, his discipline and his independence (Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus) gather in Taurus, and that part of life draws 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 drive (Mars in Scorpio) and his optimism (Jupiter in Taurus) face each other across the wheel, and his intensity (Pluto in Leo) 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 quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.1°
Responsibility and growth need steady balancing, and he learns which duties to keep.
The Moon sextile Mars almost exact at 0.3°
His feelings turn straight into action: when something matters, he does something about it.
The Sun square the Moon almost exact at 0.7°
The self he shows the world and the self he comes home to want different things, and he makes room for both.
Venus quincunx Uranus close at 1.5°
Affection and independence need constant trading off, and he keeps renegotiating the terms of his relationships.
Jupiter quincunx North Node close at 1.6°
Some hopes have to be let go to fit the way forward, and he chooses which ones.
Jupiter conjunction Saturn close at 1.8°
Optimism with a plan: his hopes are practical, and he builds them slowly into something real.

Mercury opposition Saturn close at 2.4°

Change and idealism go together: new ideas come wrapped in dreams of a better world.
Jupiter square Pluto wide at 3.8°

The Sun trine Pluto wide at 4.0°
A quiet strength: under pressure he grows more focused, and he knows how to start over.
Mercury opposition Jupiter wide at 4.2°
Big ideas and loose details: he thinks on a large scale, and the small print is where things get away from him.
Saturn square Pluto wide at 5.6°
Heavy demands and hard limits: he faces a great deal of pressure and comes out tougher for it.
Venus conjunction Mars wide at 6.0°
Magnetic: affection and desire come together in him, and people notice.
The Sun opposition Uranus wide at 6.4°
He needs room to be himself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.
Mars opposition Jupiter wide at 6.7°
