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 Pisces
The Sun moved from Pisces into Aries at 11:36 p.m. that day, local time: in Pisces for a birth before then, in Aries for one after.
29°31′
Moon in Aries
The Quick Flame. Quick to flare, quick to forgive.
22°19′
Mercury in Pisces
The Poet. Knowing without explaining.

The Kindred Spirit. Friend first, lover too.

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 Aries
The direction his life grows in: Aries, bold and direct.
7°24′
Chiron in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Chiron is a restless question about what it all means, and a gift for lending others a wider view.
21°37′
Black Moon Lilith in Taurus
In Taurus, Lilith is an appetite for pleasure that sees no need to apologise.
7°31′
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.
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 identity (the Sun in Pisces) and his drive (Mars in Libra) face each other across the wheel, and his independence (Uranus 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.
Neptune sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.3°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Venus quincunx Saturn almost exact at 0.4°
He kept weighing pleasure against duty, and joy came once the work was done.
Venus opposition Pluto almost exact at 0.7°
Love came with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where he stood.
Venus trine Neptune close at 1.0°
A romantic with an artist’s eye: he saw the beauty in people and made it visible to others.
The Sun square Uranus close at 1.5°
He needed room to be himself, and any rule that fit too tightly got broken.
Mars square Uranus close at 2.0°
Restless and quick to rebel: he pushed against limits, and sudden decisions came with the territory.

Uranus square North Node wide at 6.4°
The way forward asked for steadiness, and the urge for change kept breaking in.
The Sun conjunction Mercury wide at 7.1°
His mind and his identity were close together: he spoke as he thought, and his ideas were part of who he was.
The Sun conjunction North Node wide at 7.9°
His identity and his direction in life lined up: the more fully he became himself, the further he went.
