The chart, fact by fact
Planets

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 Gemini
The Messenger. Curious and many-sided.
26°33′

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 Virgo
The direction his life grows in: Virgo, precise and helpful.
19°38′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
2°13′
Black Moon Lilith in Cancer
In Cancer, Lilith is a fierce need to belong, and no wish to look after anyone on command.
4°33′
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.
Grand trine
Three planets in an easy triangle, each in flowing contact with the other two: a gift that comes without effort.
In his chart, his drive, his optimism and his intensity (Mars in Aries, Jupiter in Sagittarius and Pluto in Virgo) make the triangle, so these come to him naturally.
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.
The Moon square Saturn almost exact at 0.9°
Feelings come second to duty: he holds himself to a high standard, even in private.
Mars trine Jupiter almost exact at 0.9°
Big drive and big confidence: he goes after large goals, and his enthusiasm carries others along.
The Sun conjunction Venus close at 1.3°
Charm comes naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things are close to his core.
The Sun sextile Mars close at 1.6°
His purpose and his drive work together: once he decides on something, he moves on it fast.
Saturn quincunx Uranus close at 1.7°
When to keep the rules and when to break them takes constant deciding.
Mercury sextile North Node close at 1.7°
His way with words helps him find his direction, and the right ideas come at the right time.

The Sun square North Node wide at 6.9°
