Keith Richards's chart, in plain language

A 10-part walk through the chart in five movements, from the core self out to the horizon. The essentials stay in view; anything marked with a small arrow folds open for the finer detail. Jump to any part below, or click a planet, house or aspect on the wheel above for the deep dive.

New to birth charts? The thirty-second primer
  • Planets are the what: ten drives every person carries. The Moon is how you feel, Mercury is how you think, Mars is how you act.
  • Signs are the how: the style each drive wears. A Moon in Taurus feels slowly and steadily; a Moon in Aries feels fast and hot.
  • Houses are the where: twelve areas of life, so the same drive plays out at work, at home, or in love depending on which room it sits in.
  • Aspects are the conversations: angles between two planets that make their drives cooperate, argue, or fuse into one force.

Every reading below follows that grammar: planet (what) in sign (how) in house (where). If you only read one section, read the Big Three; everything after it is that story told in finer and finer detail.

The Big Three

The Sun is who you are becoming, the Moon is what you need, the Rising is how you arrive. Read together, they are the working summary of the chart.

Your Sun in Sagittarius is the core self, your Moon in Virgo is the inner emotional life, and your Aquarius Rising is how you arrive. Your three pillars run on three different elements, which gives you genuine range. You carry several inner climates at once, and the work is letting each take its turn rather than letting one dominate. These three together are the spine of the whole chart.

SunSagittarius · 10th house

The self is built toward meaning and the horizon. Optimistic, philosophical, hungry for what lies beyond the known, the arrow always pointing forward. Lesson: the truth you seek is in the specific life you are running from. The self is most fully expressed in public. Career, reputation and legacy carry your identity, and you tend to be known by what you do in the world. The climb is the path.

MoonVirgo · 7th house

Feeling is processed through analysis and service. Comfort comes from order, from being useful, from systems that work. The shadow is the inner critic that picks the feelings apart before they can be felt. Mood is regulated through partnership. The relational mirror shapes how you feel, the need for a partner is strong, and you tend to feel your way through the other.

ASC
RisingAquarius · the doorway

You arrive at a slight angle. Present, but not quite organised around the existing arrangement of the room. People feel observed in a way that is curious rather than warm, and find it either fascinating or strange. Your chart ruler is Saturn, in Gemini in the 4th house: the planet that steers the whole chart, and the first place to look for how your Aquarius rising actually moves through the world.

Your North Star

The lunar nodes are the chart's North Star: not a trait but a direction. The North Node names the unfamiliar growth you are here to move toward; the South Node is what you are leaving.

North NodeLeo · 6th house · fire element · 1st decan

The pull is toward Leo: the heart, individual creative expression, being warmly and personally seen. The familiar groove is Aquarius: hiding in the group, cool detachment. Growth is letting yourself want the light and stand in it.

South NodeAquarius · 12th house

The South Node in Aquarius (12th house) is the opposite shore: the gifts and habits you already over-rely on. It is the comfort zone the chart is asking you to move away from.

Finer detail: the decan and the degree

The decan. The North Node sits in the 1st decan: the purest expression of the sign; its drive at full, undiluted strength.

Chart Ruler

Because Aquarius rises, Saturn rules the whole chart. It is the vehicle you move through life in: wherever it sits is the chart's centre of gravity.

Saturn · the chart rulerGemini · 4th house

The work is on the mind, speech and communication: lessons in taking words seriously. The shadow is the difficulty of saying, simply, what is true.

Where it drives. The foundation must be earned. Often difficult origins, with the lifelong task of building a home and an inner base that genuinely holds.

On an angle. The ruler sits in an angular house: the loudest seat in the chart. The vehicle is out front, not idling in the background.

Public Face

The Midheaven is not only career; it is the aura you emit in your zone, what a room senses you are for. The IC, opposite it, is the private root that aura grows from.

MC
MidheavenSagittarius · the 10th house

With Sagittarius on the Midheaven, a room senses vision: someone expansive, honest, pointed at something bigger. Planets in the 10th (Sun) amplify that signal.

IC
ICGemini · the 4th house

With Gemini on the IC, this is the private root the public aura grows from. The lowest point in the chart. Imum Coeli. The ground beneath the feet. The IC is the point directly opposite the Midheaven. The deepest, most interior, most hidden point in the chart. It marks the cusp of the fourth house. Where the Midheaven describes the public face, the IC describes the private foundation. The home life. The roots. The ground the person stands on when no one is watching. The sign on the IC describes the texture of the inner life. The atmosphere of the childhood home. The deep, unspoken emotional climate that the person carries inside themselves regardless of what is happening on the surface.

Planets & Patterns

The planets are the cast: ten drives, each in a sign that colours it and a house that gives it a stage. Read down the roster, then see the aspects (the lines where one planet is locked in conversation with another) and the larger patterns they form together.

Of the ten planets, the weight falls in air and mutable signs: mind. Communication. The space between. The energy of relationship and idea.

The Houses

If the planets are the actors, the houses are the twelve rooms they act in. Each room carries a sign on its door, a ruler that ties it to a planet elsewhere in the chart, and sometimes tenants living inside it. Tap any house to open the full reading: the sign, the ruler chain, and who lives there.

Your Generational Role

Uranus, Neptune and Pluto move so slowly that a whole generation shares each sign. The sign is the era you were born into; the house is your personal assignment within it. This is your generational role: the corner of life where the big shift becomes your job to carry, with a lesson to learn and a gift waiting on the other side of it.

UranusGemini · 3rd house

where you break from the past. Uranus carries the urge to break free, wake up, and overturn what has gone stale.Why it matters for youYour whole generation shares Uranus in Gemini. But in your chart it lands in the 3rd house, the house of mind, words, siblings. That is your personal assignment: the one corner of life where this slow, generational force stops being abstract and becomes your job to carry. Your generation is here to break what has gone stale and wire up what comes next. Your personal share of that work is the 3rd house: how you think, speak and learn. That is the corner of life where the era's shift stops being your backdrop and becomes your job to carry.The lessonIn matters of mind, words, siblings, your work is tolerating the instability that real freedom costs, and rebelling toward something rather than only away from it.The giftDo that work, and mind, words, siblings becomes exactly where you offer the world originality, sudden insight, and the nerve to do it differently.

The era you were born into: Uranus in Gemini

A generation that rewires how information moves, and remakes the future of language.

NeptuneLibra · 7th house

where you dream and dissolve. Neptune carries the pull toward the boundless: dream, faith, compassion, and the dissolving of every edge.Why it matters for youYour whole generation shares Neptune in Libra. But in your chart it lands in the 7th house, the house of partnership, the other. That is your personal assignment: the one corner of life where this slow, generational force stops being abstract and becomes your job to carry. Your generation is here to dissolve the hard old boundaries and let something more imaginative and compassionate through. Your personal share of that work is the 7th house: partnership and the one-to-one bond. That is the corner of life where the era's shift stops being your backdrop and becomes your job to carry.The lessonIn matters of partnership, the other, your work is telling the true vision from the seductive illusion, and staying awake instead of escaping.The giftDo that work, and partnership, the other becomes exactly where you offer the world imagination, limitless empathy, and a channel to the transcendent.

The era you were born into: Neptune in Libra

An era that dreams of universal love and harmony as a spiritual practice, the dissolving of relational borders.

PlutoLeo · 6th house

where you are remade. Pluto carries the drive to destroy what is finished and regenerate it from the root.Why it matters for youYour whole generation shares Pluto in Leo. But in your chart it lands in the 6th house, the house of work, health, routine. That is your personal assignment: the one corner of life where this slow, generational force stops being abstract and becomes your job to carry. Your generation is here to take worn-out structures down to the root and rebuild them from the power that was buried. Your personal share of that work is the 6th house: work, health and the daily routine. That is the corner of life where the era's shift stops being your backdrop and becomes your job to carry.The lessonIn matters of work, health, routine, your work is meeting power and loss without grasping for control, and letting the necessary endings actually happen.The giftDo that work, and work, health, routine becomes exactly where you offer the world regenerative depth, unbreakable will, and the power to transform yourself and the people around you.

The era you were born into: Pluto in Leo

An era that remakes self-expression, celebrity and the heart, putting authorship through death and rebirth.

Wound & Shadow

Chiron marks the wound: the place that aches, and the place you can eventually heal others from. Black Moon Lilith marks the exiled self: the raw, untamed part that was told to behave.

Chiron · the woundVirgo · 7th house

The wound is never good enough: a sharp eye for flaws that turns inward as self-criticism, overwork, and worth measured only in usefulness. You may fix everyone else's life while neglecting your own body. Healing comes from accepting imperfection and turning your meticulous care on yourself: heal yourself as you would another. Lesson: usefulness is not the whole measure of a person. The wound negotiates in partnership: being chosen, being met as an equal, the fear of being left. Relationships may repeat the original cut until the pattern is seen. Healing and teaching often flow through the mirror of the one-to-one bond.

Black Moon Lilith · the shadowLeo · 7th house

She was the kid who lit up rooms and then learned, somewhere along the way, that lighting up rooms made smaller people uncomfortable. She dimmed. She apologized. She let other people have the spotlight she was built to hold. Her wound is the long compromise of being loved for being smaller. Her medicine is showing back up to her own life at full brightness. Lilith negotiates in partnership. You attract intensity, then are asked to lower the flame. The pattern breaks when you stop choosing partners who need you digestible. Intimacy wants the real conversation, not the polite one.

Shadow Work

This chart runs on air. Every element has a low expression and a high one: the work is knowing which way you are tilting, and the mantra that walks you back.

At your worst

Detachment and analysis-paralysis. Unchecked, the air lives in the head: endlessly weighing, narrating instead of feeling, connected to everyone and intimate with no one.

The middle ground

The everyday work is landing. Drop from the head into the body, let a decision be good-enough, and let feeling have a vote alongside thought.

At your best

A mind that genuinely connects. At your best the air is perspective and fairness: you see every side, name the thing no one could articulate, and pull people into real dialogue.

“I do not have to understand it fully to feel it fully.”

Full Potential

Raw materials, not a verdict. Everything above was the chart describing itself. This is where it hands the pen to you.

This chart describes a capacity to connect: to see the pattern, name it clearly, and link people and ideas that were never going to meet on their own. You are wired to adapt: your gift shows up when you stay fluid and let the work change shape as it goes. With Saturn steering and a Sagittarius Sun at the core, the potential here is not a fixed fate; it is a set of raw materials. The chart names the tools. What gets built with them is the part astrology cannot tell you, and the part that is entirely yours.

Underneath everything, this is a chart learning to let a Sagittarius core be fed by a Virgo heart and carried out through a Aquarius face: three different instincts that only become one person when you stop making them compete.

the charge

Here is what the wheel cannot tell you. It hands you air: ideas, language, and the will to connect, and you are built to adapt and transform things. It gives you Saturn as your compass and a map of where the pressure and the ease already live. But none of it is a verdict; it is equipment. The chart is the raw material; the life is what you make of it. That part was never written in the sky. It has always been yours to write.

Asteria · the geometryThe tightest aspects between your planets.

The closest conversations in the chart: where two planets sit at an exact angle and never stop talking. Tightest orb first; these are the loudest.

Mars sextile Plutoorb 0.11°

In you, Mars works easily with Pluto, bringing together your drive and how you assert yourself and your relationship to power and deep change. They support each other whenever you call on them, an inner talent available the moment you choose to use it.

Moon sextile Venusorb 0.91°

In you, the Moon works easily with Venus, bringing together your emotional needs and instincts and your capacity for love and pleasure. They support each other whenever you call on them, an inner talent available the moment you choose to use it.

Sun trine Jupiterorb 1.38°

In you, the Sun flows together with Jupiter, bringing together your core identity and will and your faith, growth, and excess. They cooperate so naturally you may not even notice the gift, an inner ease that grants talent, with the only risk being that you coast on it instead of developing it.

Uranus trine Neptuneorb 1.92°

In you, Uranus flows together with Neptune, bringing together your need for freedom and the urge to break form and your imagination, longing, and the dissolving impulse. They cooperate so naturally you may not even notice the gift, an inner ease that grants talent, with the only risk being that you coast on it instead of developing it.

Mars conjunction Uranusorb 2.27°

In you, Mars is fused with Uranus, bringing together your drive and how you assert yourself and your need for freedom and the urge to break form. They act as one force, each unable to operate without the other, permanently blended and amplifying each other for better and for more intense.

Asteria · flow & frictionGifts & Challenges

Every chart runs on flow and friction. The gifts are where the energy already moves easily; the challenges are where it meets resistance: the places that ask for effort and pay it back as range and strength.

This chart runs on an even mix of flow and friction: real ease in some places, real effort in others, and range that comes from holding both.

Where it flows
Mercury trine Vertexorb 0.1°

A natural, flowing ease: Mercury and Vertex feed each other with almost no effort. This is talent that shows up early and runs in the background.

Mars sextile Plutoorb 0.1°

An easy, available link: Mars and Pluto feed each other with almost no effort. This is talent that shows up early and runs in the background.

Saturn sextile Black Moon Lilithorb 0.1°

An easy, available link: Saturn and Black Moon Lilith feed each other with almost no effort. This is talent that shows up early and runs in the background.

Mars sextile North Nodeorb 0.8°

An easy, available link: Mars and North Node feed each other with almost no effort. This is talent that shows up early and runs in the background.

Mercury trine Chironorb 0.8°

A natural, flowing ease: Mercury and Chiron feed each other with almost no effort. This is talent that shows up early and runs in the background.

Moon sextile Venusorb 0.9°

An easy, available link: Moon and Venus feed each other with almost no effort. This is talent that shows up early and runs in the background.

Where it works
Venus in detriment in Scorpiouphill

Venus runs uphill in Scorpio, earning by effort what it does effortlessly elsewhere. That effort becomes real, tested range.

Moon square Marsorb 2.3°

A productive friction: the pull between Moon and Mars never fully settles, and that restless charge is exactly what keeps you growing here.

Sun opposition Saturnorb 2.7°

A polarity asking to be balanced: the pull between Sun and Saturn never fully settles, and that restless charge is exactly what keeps you growing here.

Venus square Plutoorb 3.1°

A productive friction: the pull between Venus and Pluto never fully settles, and that restless charge is exactly what keeps you growing here.

North Node square Part of Fortuneorb 3.3°

A productive friction: the pull between North Node and Part of Fortune never fully settles, and that restless charge is exactly what keeps you growing here.

Venus square North Nodeorb 4.0°

A productive friction: the pull between Venus and North Node never fully settles, and that restless charge is exactly what keeps you growing here.
