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.
5°02′
Moon in Leo
The Moon moved from Cancer into Leo at 8:12 a.m. that day, local time: in Cancer for a birth before then, in Leo for one after.
2°02′
Mercury in Libra
The Mediator. Both sides of the question.
2°13′
Venus in Libra
The Sweetheart. Grace, romance and balance.
12°13′
Mars in Virgo
The Craftsperson. The craftsman’s drive.

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 Aquarius
The direction his life grows in: Aquarius, independent and original.
25°50′
Chiron in Cancer
In Cancer, Chiron is an early longing to belong somewhere, and a knack for making strangers feel at home.
14°11′
Black Moon Lilith in Libra
In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.
22°21′
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 discipline, his independence and his imagination (Saturn, Uranus and Neptune) gather in Capricorn, 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 optimism (Jupiter in Cancer) and his discipline and his independence (Saturn and Uranus, together in Capricorn) face each other across the wheel, and his mind (Mercury in Libra) 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 sextile Mercury almost exact at 0.2°
Feeling and thought speak the same language: he can put a mood into words, and his words carry feeling.
The Sun sextile Jupiter almost exact at 0.2°
His confidence comes easily and spreads: he thinks big, and other people want to come along.
Mercury square Uranus almost exact at 0.8°
His mind runs ahead of the conversation: he says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.
Jupiter opposition Saturn close at 2.2°
Growth and caution keep checking each other: he moves forward in bursts, then pauses to consolidate.
Saturn conjunction Neptune close at 2.3°
He takes dreams seriously and gives them structure, and his ideals have to prove themselves.
The Sun trine Saturn close at 2.4°
Purpose and patience work as a team: he builds slowly and gets better with every year.
