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.
2°12′
Moon in Scorpio
The Moon moved from Scorpio into Sagittarius at 1:26 p.m. that day, local time: in Scorpio for a birth before then, in Sagittarius for one after.
29°11′
Mercury in Leo
The Storyteller. A voice that carries.
29°15′
Venus in Cancer
The Nurturer. Love that makes a home.
4°08′
Mars in Taurus
The Stayer. Slow to start, impossible to stop.
2°44′

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.
26°25′
Chiron in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.
21°06′
Black Moon Lilith in Aries
In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.
17°19′
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 and his independence (the Sun, Mercury and Uranus) gather in Leo, 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 Taurus) and his imagination (Neptune in Scorpio) face each other across the wheel, and his identity (the Sun 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.
The Moon square Mercury almost exact at 0.1°
His head and his feelings argue: he knows what he thinks before he knows what he feels, or the other way round.
The Sun square Neptune almost exact at 0.1°
The self he knows and the image others see drift apart at times, and he works to keep hold of the real one.
The Sun square Mars almost exact at 0.6°
He fights hard for what he wants, and his temper is part of his courage.
Mars opposition Neptune almost exact at 0.7°
Drive and dreams mix uneasily: the goal is clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.0°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Venus sextile Mars close at 1.4°
Charm and desire work together: he knows what he wants in love and how to win it.
