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 Capricorn
The Architect. Ambitious, patient and dry.
23°27′
Moon in Virgo
The Mender. Care in the details.
7°44′
Mercury in Sagittarius
Mercury moved from Sagittarius into Capricorn at 4:16 p.m. that day, local time: in Sagittarius for a birth before then, in Capricorn for one after.
29°52′
Venus in Sagittarius
The Adventurer. Love as an adventure.
28°59′
Mars in Aries
The Trailblazer. First through the door.

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 Leo
The direction his life grows in: Leo, warm and dramatic.
13°45′
Chiron in Aries
In Aries, Chiron is a doubt about the right to go first, and with it a talent for giving others their nerve.
20°11′
Black Moon Lilith in Cancer
In Cancer, Lilith is a fierce need to belong, and no wish to look after anyone on command.
3°11′
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.
Grand trine
Three planets in an easy triangle, each in flowing contact with the other two: a gift that comes without effort.
In his chart, his discipline, his independence and his intensity (Saturn in Scorpio, Uranus in Pisces and Pluto in Cancer) make the triangle, so these came to him naturally.
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.
Saturn square North Node almost exact at 0.7°
Duty and growth competed: what he owed others and where he needed to go called for hard choices.
Saturn trine Pluto almost exact at 0.8°
Endurance: he could work through hard times, and what he built survived pressure.
Mercury conjunction Venus almost exact at 0.9°
Words with charm in them: he had an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people liked listening to him.
The Sun quincunx Neptune close at 1.5°
He kept redrawing the line between the life he had and the life he imagined.
The Moon trine Jupiter close at 1.6°
Good-hearted and generous: he felt looked after by life, and he passed that on.
Mars trine North Node close at 2.1°
Courage moved him forward, and each bold step took him further along his path.

No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through took deliberate effort.
