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 Scorpio
The Detective. Intense, private and loyal.
10°19′
Moon in Taurus
The Moon moved from Aries into Taurus at 9:50 a.m. that day, local time: in Aries for a birth before then, in Taurus for one after.
1°22′
Mercury in Scorpio
The Investigator. Hears what was left out.
17°45′
Venus in Libra
The Sweetheart. Grace, romance and balance.
12°47′
Mars in Scorpio
The Strategist. Will under a still surface.

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.
21°02′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
14°33′
Black Moon Lilith in Libra
In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.
24°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 identity, his mind, his drive and his discipline (the Sun, Mercury, Mars and Saturn) gather in Scorpio, 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.
Mars opposition Pluto almost exact at 0.3°
A fierce will: he met opposition head on, and a fight brought out his full strength.
Saturn trine Uranus almost exact at 0.3°
Old and new sat well together: he could change things without throwing out what worked.
Venus quincunx Pluto almost exact at 0.5°
Affection and the need for control kept getting in each other’s way, and trust took him time.
The Sun quincunx Neptune close at 2.0°
He kept redrawing the line between the life he had and the life he imagined.
The Sun conjunction Mars close at 2.7°
Purpose and drive in one place: he was quick to start, quick to compete and hard to stop.
The Sun opposition Pluto close at 3.0°
Nothing about him was halfway: he insisted on running his own life, and the struggle made him formidable.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Venus opposition Neptune wide at 4.4°
He loved the dream of a person, and the real one had to compete with it.
Mercury opposition Pluto wide at 4.5°
His words had force: he spoke to persuade, and he kept his own counsel until the right moment.
Uranus square Neptune wide at 4.7°
The urge for change and the longing for ideals clashed, and he lived with both.
Mercury conjunction Mars wide at 4.8°
He thought fast and spoke faster: his mind liked a contest, and his words had an edge.
Jupiter opposition Uranus wide at 6.1°
Restless hope: he wanted more freedom than any situation gave, and big changes came suddenly.
The Sun conjunction Saturn wide at 6.3°
Serious from early on: purpose and duty were one thing to him, and he treated his own life as work to be done well.
The Sun trine Uranus wide at 6.6°
Independence came easily: he did things his own way, and people found it refreshing rather than rude.
The Sun conjunction Mercury wide at 7.4°
His mind and his identity were close together: he spoke as he thought, and his ideas were part of who he was.
