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.

Beyond the planetsNorth Node in Aries, Chiron and Lilith
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 Aries

    The direction his life grows in: Aries, bold and direct.

    24°54′

  • Chiron in Taurus

    In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.

    18°53′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius

    In Aquarius, Lilith is the outsider’s streak, at its best when it does not fit in.

    22°03′

The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.

PatternsStellium, T-square
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 drive, his optimism and his intensity (Mars, Jupiter and Pluto) gather in Cancer, 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 Cancer) and his discipline (Saturn 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 strength16 between the planets, the closest first
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 0.1°

    Feeling and thought speak the same language: he can put a mood into words, and his words carry feeling.

  • The Moon square Neptune almost exact at 0.3°

    His feelings and his imagination pull in different directions: he lives between what is real and what he longs for.

  • Jupiter square Uranus close at 1.1°

    Restless hope: he wants more freedom than any situation gives, and big changes come suddenly.

  • The Sun trine Saturn close at 1.2°

    Purpose and patience work as a team: he builds slowly and gets better with every year.

  • Mercury square Mars close at 1.9°

    Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argues well, sometimes too well, and a debate is a kind of sport to him.

  • Saturn trine Neptune close at 1.9°

    Practical dreams: he gives ideals a shape and works to make them real.

Show more aspectsShow fewer
  • Venus square Pluto close at 2.0°

    Love comes with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where he stands.

  • Mars sextile Neptune close at 2.0°

    He works for ideals: his drive comes alive for a cause, a role or a dream.

  • Mercury square Saturn close at 2.1°

    He doubts his own ideas before anyone else can, and so he checks every one twice.

  • Venus opposition North Node close at 2.5°

    What feels comfortable in love and what helps him grow are different things, and he chooses between them more than once.

  • The Sun conjunction Neptune wide at 3.1°

    He takes in moods, music and other people’s hopes, and gives them back as something new.

  • Mars opposition Saturn wide at 3.9°

    Drive with the brakes on: he wants to move, something holds him back, and the friction makes him tough.

  • Pluto square North Node wide at 4.5°

    Old attachments hold him back from the way forward, and he grows by letting some things go.

  • The Sun sextile Mars wide at 5.2°

    His purpose and his drive work together: once he decides on something, he moves on it fast.

  • Uranus square Pluto wide at 5.6°

    Upheaval and the urge to break free run strong, and he pushes for change rather than waiting for it.

  • Jupiter conjunction Pluto wide at 6.7°

    Large ambitions and the will to see them through: he works on a grand scale.
