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 Libra
The Diplomat. Grace, fairness and balance.
14°14′

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 Aries
The direction his life grows in: Aries, bold and direct.
9°38′
Chiron in Aries
In Aries, Chiron is a doubt about the right to go first, and with it a talent for giving others their nerve.
0°29′
Black Moon Lilith in Gemini
In Gemini, Lilith is the quick tongue that says out loud what the room only thinks.
12°22′
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 drive, his optimism and his intensity (Mars, Jupiter and Pluto) gather in Virgo, and that part of life draws his attention first.
Yod
Two planets in easy contact both point awkwardly at a third, which becomes the focus: a talent that takes constant adjusting.
In his chart, his optimism (Jupiter in Virgo) and his imagination (Neptune in Scorpio) both point at his discipline (Saturn in Aries), the part of him that keeps needing adjustment and gives his life its focus.
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.
Mars quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.2°
He keeps adjusting how hard he pushes to fit where his life is going.
Jupiter quincunx Saturn almost exact at 0.2°
When to expand and when to hold back takes constant rethinking.
Saturn quincunx Pluto almost exact at 0.8°
He keeps adjusting between control and acceptance, and learns where each belongs.
Jupiter conjunction Pluto close at 1.0°
Large ambitions and the will to see them through: he works on a grand scale.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.3°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Saturn quincunx Neptune close at 2.1°
Duty and dreams keep trading places as the priority.

Jupiter sextile Neptune close at 2.3°
Faith and imagination together: he believes in people and ideals, and that belief is catching.
The Moon conjunction Saturn close at 2.6°
Self-contained: he keeps his feelings in order, and he gives comfort in practical ways rather than in words.
Venus sextile Mars wide at 3.4°
Charm and desire work together: he knows what he wants in love and how to win it.
The Sun opposition North Node wide at 4.6°
Being himself and growing ask for different things, and his biggest steps forward come when he stretches past his habits.
Uranus conjunction Pluto wide at 7.1°
Born into a time of upheaval: he wants radical change, and wants it at once.
Mercury opposition Saturn wide at 7.5°
He doubts his own ideas before anyone else can, and so he checks every one twice.
The Sun opposition Saturn wide at 8.5°
Self-belief comes slowly and has to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counts.
