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 Virgo
The Fixer. Precise, useful and kind.
4°10′
Moon in Pisces
The Moon moved from Pisces into Aries at 5:49 p.m. that day, local time: in Pisces for a birth before then, in Aries for one after.
26°24′
Mercury in Virgo
The Analyst. The editor’s eye.
16°20′
Venus in Cancer
The Nurturer. Love that makes a home.
27°47′
Mars in Libra
The Negotiator. A fighter for fairness.

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.
27°12′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
4°15′
Black Moon Lilith in Leo
In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.
23°04′
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 intensity (the Sun, Mercury 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.
Uranus conjunction North Node almost exact at 0.5°
An unusual path: his direction in life comes through sudden turns and fresh starts.
Venus opposition Jupiter almost exact at 0.7°
He loves too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures run past what one life can use.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.2°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Jupiter quincunx North Node close at 1.3°
Some hopes have to be let go to fit the way forward, and he chooses which ones.
The Moon trine Venus close at 1.4°
He puts people at ease without trying: kindness and charm come from the same place.
Jupiter quincunx Uranus close at 1.8°
His hopes and his restlessness keep changing places, and he redraws his plans more than once.

Saturn quincunx Uranus close at 2.7°
When to keep the rules and when to break them takes constant deciding.
The Sun conjunction Pluto wide at 3.6°
Intensity at the centre: he wants the whole truth about everything, himself first, and he remakes himself more than once to reach it.
Venus opposition Saturn wide at 3.8°
Love feels like something to be earned, and he holds back until he is sure of it.
Jupiter conjunction Saturn wide at 4.5°
Optimism with a plan: his hopes are practical, and he builds them slowly into something real.
The Sun sextile Neptune wide at 4.8°
Imagination and identity work together: he can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
The Sun conjunction North Node wide at 7.0°
His identity and his direction in life line up: the more fully he becomes himself, the further he goes.
The Sun conjunction Uranus wide at 7.5°
Born original: his identity and his need for freedom are the same thing, and he surprises people, himself included.
