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 Libra
The Diplomat. Grace, fairness and balance.
3°58′
Moon in Gemini
The Moon moved from Taurus into Gemini at 6:34 a.m. that day, local time: in Taurus for a birth before then, in Gemini for one after.
2°55′
Mercury in Libra
The Mediator. Both sides of the question.
26°14′
Venus in Virgo
The Quiet Romantic. Love in small attentions.
20°37′
Mars in Leo

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.
8°36′
Chiron in Gemini
In Gemini, Chiron is an old fear of not being heard, which becomes a gift for finding the words others lack.
9°52′
Black Moon Lilith in Leo
In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.
7°51′
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 optimism (the Sun, Mercury and Jupiter) gather in Libra, and that part of life drew 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 mind and his optimism (Mercury and Jupiter, together in Libra) and his independence (Uranus in Taurus) face each other across the wheel, and his intensity (Pluto in Cancer) took the strain: the part of him that worked 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.
Mercury square Pluto almost exact at 0.3°
His words had force: he spoke to persuade, and he kept his own counsel until the right moment.
Mercury conjunction Jupiter almost exact at 0.9°
He loved ideas, the bigger the better, and he could talk anyone into hoping.
The Sun trine the Moon close at 1.1°
His purpose and his feelings were on the same side: the life he chose and the comfort he needed went together.
Jupiter square Pluto close at 1.3°
He wanted more power than came easily, and the struggle for it shaped his life.
Venus quincunx Saturn close at 1.6°
He kept weighing pleasure against duty, and joy came once the work was done.
Jupiter opposition Uranus wide at 3.3°
Restless hope: he wanted more freedom than any situation gave, and big changes came suddenly.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
The Sun quincunx Uranus wide at 3.5°
His restlessness kept testing his plans, so he changed course more than once to stay true to himself.
Mercury trine Saturn wide at 4.0°
A patient, exact mind: he chose every word, and his thinking got sharper with practice.
Mercury opposition Uranus wide at 4.2°
His mind ran ahead of the conversation: he said the unexpected thing, and not everyone was ready to hear it.
Mars opposition Saturn wide at 4.5°
Drive with the brakes on: he wanted to move, something held him back, and the friction made him tough.
Uranus square Pluto wide at 4.6°
Upheaval and the urge to break free ran strong, and he pushed for change rather than waiting for it.
The Sun trine North Node wide at 4.6°
The direction his life took suited him: being himself and growing went hand in hand.
Jupiter trine Saturn wide at 5.0°
Hope and caution in balance: he dreamed big and planned carefully, and both helped.
