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 Capricorn
The Architect. Ambitious, patient and dry.
14°10′
Moon in Gemini
The Moon moved from Gemini into Cancer at 9:28 p.m. that day, local time: in Gemini for a birth before then, in Cancer for one after.

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 Gemini
The direction his life grows in: Gemini, curious and quick-witted.
18°38′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
1°25′
Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Lilith is an intensity and a private power that stay unexplained.
4°15′
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 heart, his drive and his discipline (Venus, Mars and Saturn) gather in Sagittarius, and that part of life drew 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 quincunx Neptune almost exact at 0.9°
Sudden change and slow dreams kept adjusting to each other.
Mars opposition North Node close at 1.6°
Old fights and the way forward disagreed, and he grew by choosing which battles mattered.
Jupiter quincunx Neptune close at 1.7°
His ideals and his beliefs needed constant matching up, and he kept asking what he really believed.
The Sun opposition Pluto close at 1.9°
Nothing about him was halfway: he insisted on running his own life, and the struggle made him formidable.
The Sun conjunction Mercury close at 2.0°
His mind and his identity were close together: he spoke as he thought, and his ideas were part of who he was.
Saturn quincunx Pluto close at 2.1°
He kept adjusting between control and acceptance, and learned where each belonged.

Mars conjunction Saturn wide at 6.2°
Controlled force: he worked with patience and grit, and he finished what he started.
