Birth chart of Terry McDermott

Terry McDermott birth chart is shown with zodiac signs, planetary houses, and aspects so it can be read as a complete astrological structure rather than a single Sun sign.

Terry McDermott's chart is framed by Sun in Virgo, Moon in Taurus, and Virgo Rising. These three factors give identity and ego, personal dream, play, childhood image, and first impression before the details.

Chart detail:

Sun conjunct Neptune (orb 2°) gives a central dynamic in this reading. The orb is very tight; this describes a stable character pattern more than a passing reaction.

In plain terms, this aspect ties identity to image, dream, inspiration, and popularity.

Because the birth time is available, houses and angular dominants can be used, with each conclusion tied to a precise chart combination.

Analysis

Astrological birth chart geometry with aspect lines
This visual shows the chart geometry before the reading separates the Big Three, planets, houses, and aspects.

How to read this chart

This section gives a concrete reading thread. It highlights the most visible signatures, then the tabs keep each placement separate instead of mixing everything together.

Reading map

Start here: a short reading that shows what hooks, what helps, what pushes back, and where it becomes concrete.

1. Big Three, Personal Essence

Sun in Virgo · Moon in Taurus · Virgo Rising

First hook: this is where the chart often becomes recognizable in real life. Sun in Virgo: identity and direction move through precision, method, usefulness, and attention to detail; Moon in Taurus: emotional safety looks for nature, good food, physical sensuality, roots, resources, and perseverance; Virgo Rising: the first way into situations uses precision, method, usefulness, and attention to detail. Then read the supports, tensions, and houses to see where this base becomes easy, charged, or visible.

2. Dominants (visible planets)

Visible planets: Mars

Dominants are planets close to the Rising sign, Midheaven, Descendant, or IC. They describe what becomes visible quickly: presence, public role, direct relationship style, or private climate. Every angular dominant found within the orb is listed below.

  • Visible Mars near the Rising sign (orb 2.5°) Mars is close to an angle: its signature shows more easily through first impression, body language, reflexes, and entry style. Here, that highlights action, courage, competition, and effort. It matters most when it repeats in choices, relationships, or visible role.
3. Important harmonious aspects

Harmonious circuit: Mars, Uranus, Sun, Jupiter, and Saturn

This is the easiest door into the chart: it shows what tends to cooperate naturally.

This pattern describes what comes more easily. It shows up mainly through House 9 (beliefs, studies, travel, and worldview) and House 1 (body, presence, and first reactions). It connects Mars (action, anger, desire, and courage), Uranus (change, freedom, rupture, and originality), Sun (identity, confidence, and direction), and Jupiter (growth, faith, luck, and confidence in the future).

This is the clearest cooperation pattern in the chart: Sun trine Uranus (orb 1.3°), Mars trine Jupiter (orb 5°), and Mars trine Uranus (orb 5.7°). It shows where functions support each other, recover, or come naturally when used together. Because several planets are connected, the full pattern matters more than one isolated aspect.

  • Harmony Sun trine Uranus (orb 1.3°) Trine: Sun in Virgo in House 1 can support Uranus in Taurus in House 9 naturally and positively. For this pair, the aspect makes independence easy to integrate into identity. Father-image layer: ego, personal direction, and the father imprint are supported by Uranus.
  • Harmony Mars trine Jupiter (orb 5°) Trine: Mars in Virgo in House 1 can support Jupiter in Taurus in House 9 naturally and positively. For this pair, the aspect gives natural support between effort and confidence: action can open horizons, and fulfillment gives courage more momentum.
  • Harmony Mars trine Uranus (orb 5.7°) Trine: Mars in Virgo in House 1 can support Uranus in Taurus in House 9 naturally and positively. For this pair, the aspect gives ease acting fast, taking risks, and breaking inertia.
  • Harmony Mars trine Saturn (orb 6°) Trine: Mars in Virgo in House 1 can support Saturn in Taurus in House 9 naturally and positively. For this pair, the aspect gives positive ease between courage and discipline: action becomes more enduring, strategic, and able to hold under pressure.
4. Important tensions

Tension circuit: Venus, Moon, Saturn, Jupiter, and Pluto

This is the pressure line to read first: it shows where tension repeats in concrete situations.

This pattern shows where pressure builds fastest. It shows up mainly through House 9 (beliefs, studies, travel, and worldview), House 11 (friends, groups, audience, ideologies, political beliefs, and future projects), and House 8 (intimacy, shared money, crisis, and transformation). It connects Venus (attraction, pleasure, taste, and relationships), Moon (emotional needs, instinct, and inner safety), Saturn (responsibility, limits, effort, and patience), and Jupiter (growth, faith, luck, and confidence in the future).

This is the clearest friction pattern in the chart: Venus square Saturn (orb 2.2°), Moon square Venus (orb 3.2°), and Venus square Jupiter (orb 3.2°). It shows where pressure, contradiction, or repeated effort concentrates. Because several planets are connected, the full pattern matters more than one isolated aspect.

  • Tension Venus square Saturn (orb 2.2°) Square in real life: House 11 (networks, audience, groups, ideas, ideologies, political beliefs, and collective projects) is in friction with House 9 (vision, belief, study, and wider horizons); this can create blockage, inhibition, overreaction, or repeated conflict between the two fields. For this pair, the aspect creates tension between pleasure, affection, self-worth, and restraint.
  • Tension Moon square Venus (orb 3.2°) Square in real life: House 8 (sexuality, shared power, crisis, and invisible bonds) is in friction with House 11 (networks, audience, groups, ideas, ideologies, political beliefs, and collective projects); this can create blockage, inhibition, overreaction, or repeated conflict between the two fields. For this pair, the aspect creates tension between attachment, personal dream, the desire to be loved, pleasure, and self-worth.
  • Tension Venus square Jupiter (orb 3.2°) Square in real life: House 11 (networks, audience, groups, ideas, ideologies, political beliefs, and collective projects) is in friction with House 9 (vision, belief, study, and wider horizons); this can create blockage, inhibition, overreaction, or repeated conflict between the two fields. For this pair, the aspect creates tension between pleasure, self-worth, desire, excess, and promise: the search for beauty or ease can become too large, too costly, or too indulgent.
  • Tension Moon square Pluto (orb 4.9°) Square in real life: House 8 (sexuality, shared power, crisis, and invisible bonds) is in friction with House 11 (networks, audience, groups, ideas, ideologies, political beliefs, and collective projects); this can create blockage, inhibition, overreaction, or repeated conflict between the two fields. For this pair, the aspect creates tension between personal dream, childhood, mother image, control, and fear: protection can become suspicion, grip, or overreaction.
5. Important houses

These houses answer the concrete question: where in life does the chart become visible? Look here for the repeated choices, relationships, work, or crises that make the rest of the chart real.

  • House 1: Sun, Mercury, Mars, and Neptune presence, body, and the way experience is entered.
  • House 9: Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus vision, belief, study, and wider horizons.
  • House 8: Moon sexuality, shared power, crisis, and invisible bonds.


Sun
Sun in Virgo Identity, ego, father figure
Moon
Moon in Taurus Dream, inner child, mother figure
Rising sign Virgo
Rising in Virgo First impression, entry style
The three foundations

Start from the three base placements below: the Sun gives identity, ego, and father image; the Moon gives personal dream, play, childhood imprint, mother image, and the inner child; the Rising sign gives first impression, body language, and entry style. Then dominant planets and exact aspects show what carries the most weight.

Dominant layer: Mars near the Rising sign (orb 2.5°) is close enough to an angle to color what other people perceive. Mars (action, courage, competition, and effort) is most visible through first impression, body language, reflexes, and entry style.

Terry McDermott has Sun in Virgo, in the House 1

How to read this placement

Sun in Virgo in House 1 is one concrete combination: the Sun gives identity, ego, father figure, visibility, and direction, the Virgo style gives precision, method, usefulness, and attention to detail, and House 1 gives the life field: presence, body, and the way experience is entered.

More about this placement

Concretely, this placement brings identity, ego, father figure, recognition, and personal direction into body language, arrival style, reflexes, and first impression. House 1 (presence, body, and the way experience is entered) gives the field; exact aspects show whether the planet is supported, blocked, fused, or contradicted.

Aspect connected to this placement: Sun conjunct Neptune (orb 2°). Aspect effect: ties identity to image, dream, inspiration, and popularity.

With the Sun in Virgo, identity forms through usefulness, precision, improvement, and practical intelligence. The person often needs to understand how things work, correct what is imprecise, and make themselves useful through skill. This placement can give method, discernment, modesty, technical ability, and a strong sense of service. It is not only criticism; it is the need to refine life until it functions better. When tense, the person may become trapped in worry, perfectionism, or the feeling that nothing is ever clean enough.
In the 1st house, the Sun puts identity directly into presence, body, behavior, and first impression. The person is often noticed through the way they enter situations, take space, show will, and present themselves physically. This does not automatically mean arrogance; it means the ego is visible and hard to separate from the outer personality. At best, this gives confidence, directness, vitality, and a clear sense of personal direction. Under stress, the person may feel they must constantly prove who they are or turn every situation into a test of self-assertion.

    Sun trine Uranus (orb 1.3°) shows positive structural ease between the two planets. The orb is very tight; this describes a stable character pattern more than a passing reaction.

    Here, Sun in Virgo in House 1 brings identity, ego, father figure, visibility, and direction into House 1 (presence, body, and the way experience is entered), with Virgo style (precision, method, usefulness, and attention to detail); Uranus in Taurus in House 9 brings disruption, independence, and change into House 9 (vision, belief, study, and wider horizons), with Taurus style (nature, good food, physical sensuality, roots, resources, and perseverance).

    Concrete support: this aspect makes independence easy to integrate into identity. Father-image layer: ego, personal direction, and the father imprint are supported by Uranus.

    Sun conjunct Neptune (orb 2°) brings the two planets out together. The orb is very tight; this describes a stable character pattern more than a passing reaction.

    Here, both planets pass through the same life area: House 1 (presence, body, and the way experience is entered), with the same Virgo style (precision, method, usefulness, and attention to detail). Sun in Virgo in House 1 brings identity, ego, father figure, visibility, and direction; Neptune in Virgo in House 1 brings imagination, image, popularity, collective moods, and inspiration.

    Concrete effect: this aspect ties identity to image, dream, inspiration, and popularity.

    Sun conjunct Mars (orb 7°) is minor in this chart. The orb is wide; this aspect stays a light nuance.

    Here, both planets pass through the same life area: House 1 (presence, body, and the way experience is entered), with the same Virgo style (precision, method, usefulness, and attention to detail). Sun in Virgo in House 1 brings identity, ego, father figure, visibility, and direction; Mars in Virgo in House 1 brings action, courage, competition, and effort.

    Concrete effect: this aspect makes ego, personal direction, courage, competition, and the need to act come out together. Visible angle: Mars near the Rising sign (orb 2.5°) touches an angle; this aspect is easier to notice through first impression, body language, reflexes, and entry style.



Terry McDermott has Moon in Taurus, in the House 8

How to read this placement

Moon in Taurus in House 8 is one concrete combination: the Moon gives personal dream, play, inner child, childhood imprint, mother figure, mother image, optimism, and inner rhythm, the Taurus style gives nature, good food, physical sensuality, roots, resources, and perseverance, and House 8 gives the life field: sexuality, shared power, crisis, and invisible bonds.

More about this placement

Concretely, this placement brings personal dream, play instinct, inner child, childhood imprint, mother figure, mother image, optimism, and inner rhythm into sexuality, shared money, crises, dependencies, and power dynamics. House 8 (sexuality, shared power, crisis, and invisible bonds) gives the field; exact aspects show whether the planet is supported, blocked, fused, or contradicted.

Aspect connected to this placement: Moon square Venus (orb 3.2°). Aspect effect: creates tension between attachment, personal dream, the desire to be loved, pleasure, and self-worth.

With the Moon in Taurus, the inner child looks for stability, bodily calm, familiar rhythms, and tangible proof that life can be trusted. The personal dream often grows through food, touch, music, money, nature, home, beauty, and reliable people. This Moon can give patience, loyalty, sensuality, and a soothing presence. The mother image or childhood imprint may be tied to comfort, security, or the fear of losing what feels safe. Under stress, it can cling to comfort, resist change, or stay in a situation because it is familiar.
In the 8th house, the Moon brings personal dream, inner child, and childhood imprint into intimacy, sexuality, trust, crisis, shared resources, and invisible emotional power. The person may not feel safe with shallow bonds; the inner child wants deep trust, not polite distance. Feelings can intensify quickly in situations involving vulnerability, dependence, secrecy, or loss. At best, this gives emotional courage, psychological intuition, and the ability to regenerate through honest intimacy. Under stress, it can become fear of betrayal, jealousy, emotional control, or difficulty leaving crisis mode.

    Moon square Venus (orb 3.2°) creates concrete friction between the two planets. The orb is tight enough to count in the main reading.

    Here, Moon in Taurus in House 8 brings personal dream, play, inner child, childhood imprint, mother figure, mother image, optimism, and inner rhythm into House 8 (sexuality, shared power, crisis, and invisible bonds), with Taurus style (nature, good food, physical sensuality, roots, resources, and perseverance); Venus in Leo in House 11 brings desire, taste, relationship, and attraction into House 11 (networks, audience, groups, ideas, ideologies, political beliefs, and collective projects), with Leo style (presence, pride, creation, and the wish to be seen).

    Concrete friction: this aspect creates tension between attachment, personal dream, the desire to be loved, pleasure, and self-worth. House 8 (sexuality, shared power, crisis, and invisible bonds) is in friction with House 11 (networks, audience, groups, ideas, ideologies, political beliefs, and collective projects); this can create blockage, inhibition, overreaction, or repeated conflict between the two fields.

    Moon conjunct Saturn (orb 5.5°) brings the two planets out together. The orb is moderate; it stays secondary beside tighter signatures.

    Here, both planets use the same Taurus style (nature, good food, physical sensuality, roots, resources, and perseverance). Moon in Taurus in House 8 brings personal dream, play, inner child, childhood imprint, mother figure, mother image, optimism, and inner rhythm; Saturn in Taurus in House 9 brings discipline, constraint, endurance, and mastery.

    Concrete effect: this aspect ties the inner child, personal dream, and mother image to discipline, duty, fear, or restraint.

    Moon conjunct Jupiter (orb 6.5°) is minor in this chart. The orb is wide; this aspect stays a light nuance.

    Here, both planets use the same Taurus style (nature, good food, physical sensuality, roots, resources, and perseverance). Moon in Taurus in House 8 brings personal dream, play, inner child, childhood imprint, mother figure, mother image, optimism, and inner rhythm; Jupiter in Taurus in House 9 brings personal fulfillment, confidence, encouragement, and broader horizons.

    Concrete effect: this aspect brings personal dream, childhood imprint, optimism, confidence, and personal fulfillment together: the inner child wants a larger life.

    Moon square Pluto (orb 4.9°) creates concrete friction between the two planets. The orb is moderate; it stays secondary beside tighter signatures.

    Concrete friction: this aspect creates tension between personal dream, childhood, mother image, control, and fear: protection can become suspicion, grip, or overreaction. House 8 (sexuality, shared power, crisis, and invisible bonds) is in friction with House 11 (networks, audience, groups, ideas, ideologies, political beliefs, and collective projects); this can create blockage, inhibition, overreaction, or repeated conflict between the two fields.



Terry McDermott has Rising sign in Virgo

How to read this placement

Virgo Rising combines the Rising sign with the sign on the first-house cusp. The Rising sign describes first impression, body language, reflexes, and the way the person enters situations; the Virgo style gives precision, method, usefulness, and attention to detail.

More about this placement

Concretely, this signature appears through immediate presence: posture, arrival rhythm, spontaneous reaction, and first contact with other people. A planet close to the Rising sign can become louder than the sign itself.

Virgo rising gives a precise first impression: observation, restraint, usefulness, timing, and attention to detail. The person often meets life by noticing what needs adjustment and by trying to make the situation more workable.

Terry McDermott has Mercury in Libra, in the House 1

How to read this placement

Mercury in Libra in House 1 is one concrete combination: Mercury gives intellect, language, thought, and technique, the Libra style gives relationship, balance, negotiation, and sense of form, and House 1 gives the life field: presence, body, and the way experience is entered.

More about this placement

Concretely, this placement brings thinking, speech, learning, technique, and mental strategy into body language, arrival style, reflexes, and first impression. House 1 (presence, body, and the way experience is entered) gives the field; exact aspects show whether the planet is supported, blocked, fused, or contradicted.

Aspect connected to this placement: Mercury opposite Lilith (orb 1.2°). Aspect effect: opposes intellect to ideal demand, obsession, or speech that refuses approximation.

With Mercury in Libra, the intellect compares, weighs, negotiates, and looks for proportion. The person often communicates diplomatically and can understand several sides of a question before choosing a position. This placement can give tact, aesthetic judgment, legal or relational intelligence, and skill in mediation. It is not merely indecisive; it wants the answer to be balanced. Under stress, it can avoid a necessary statement, soften the truth too much, or keep weighing options after the moment has passed.
In the 1st house, Mercury puts intellect, thought, speech, curiosity, and observation directly into presence and first impression. The person may appear quick, verbal, alert, youthful, analytical, or visibly busy in the mind. They often enter situations by asking questions, naming what is happening, or adapting their language to the room. At best, this gives mental agility, social mobility, humor, and a strong ability to explain oneself. Under stress, it can become nervous self-presentation, overexplaining, restlessness, or identifying too much with being clever.

    Mercury opposite Lilith (orb 1.2°) puts the two planets face to face, with visible back-and-forth or tension. The orb is very tight; this describes a stable character pattern more than a passing reaction.

    Here, Mercury in Libra in House 1 brings intellect, language, thought, and technique into House 1 (presence, body, and the way experience is entered), with Libra style (relationship, balance, negotiation, and sense of form); Lilith in Aries in House 7 brings pure ideal, absolute demand, fascination, and refusal of compromise into House 7 (relationship, confrontation, and the mirror of others), with Aries style (initiative, speed, confrontation, and direct action).

    Concrete conflict: this aspect opposes intellect to ideal demand, obsession, or speech that refuses approximation. The house conflict is between House 1 (presence, body, and the way experience is entered) and House 7 (relationship, confrontation, and the mirror of others); pressure in one field tends to reactivate the other.

    Mercury sextile Venus (orb 2°) shows active cooperation between the two planets. The orb is very tight; this describes a stable character pattern more than a passing reaction.

    Here, Mercury in Libra in House 1 brings intellect, language, thought, and technique into House 1 (presence, body, and the way experience is entered), with Libra style (relationship, balance, negotiation, and sense of form); Venus in Leo in House 11 brings desire, taste, relationship, and attraction into House 11 (networks, audience, groups, ideas, ideologies, political beliefs, and collective projects), with Leo style (presence, pride, creation, and the wish to be seen).

    Concrete cooperation: intellect and Venus can cooperate in speech, art, negotiation, or the formulation of desire.



Terry McDermott has Venus in Leo, in the House 11

How to read this placement

Venus in Leo in House 11 is one concrete combination: Venus gives desire, taste, relationship, and attraction, the Leo style gives presence, pride, creation, and the wish to be seen, and House 11 gives the life field: networks, audience, groups, ideas, ideologies, political beliefs, and collective projects.

More about this placement

Concretely, this placement brings desire, taste, attraction, pleasure, and love style into networks, audiences, friends, groups, ideas, ideologies, political beliefs, and collective projects. House 11 (networks, audience, groups, ideas, ideologies, political beliefs, and collective projects) gives the field; exact aspects show whether the planet is supported, blocked, fused, or contradicted.

Aspect connected to this placement: Venus trine Lilith (orb 0.8°). Aspect effect: lets Lilith's ideal source elevate Venus: beauty, attraction, taste, and desire can feel magnetic, pure, or iconic.

With Venus in Leo, affection wants warmth, visibility, generosity, and a little radiance. The person often loves through attention, praise, loyalty, play, performance, gifts, and the feeling that the relationship is special rather than ordinary. Taste can be theatrical, sunny, luxurious, or personally branded. This placement often has a strong romantic pride. Under stress, it can demand admiration, dramatize disappointment, or take a lack of attention as proof that love is missing.
In the 11th house, Venus puts attraction and pleasure into friends, groups, networks, audiences, communities, shared ideals, group taste, and collective projects. The person may find affection through friendship, social circles, fans, shared ideas, or creative collaboration. Beauty and pleasure become social here: parties, movements, communities, and public taste matter. At best, this gives popularity, social charm, artistic networks, and the ability to bring people together pleasantly. Under stress, it can become dependence on group approval, superficial friendships, social comparison, or using popularity as a substitute for intimacy.

    Venus trine Lilith (orb 0.8°) shows positive structural ease between the two planets. The orb is extremely tight; this aspect is one of the chart's strongest signals.

    Here, Venus in Leo in House 11 brings desire, taste, relationship, and attraction into House 11 (networks, audience, groups, ideas, ideologies, political beliefs, and collective projects), with Leo style (presence, pride, creation, and the wish to be seen); Lilith in Aries in House 7 brings pure ideal, absolute demand, fascination, and refusal of compromise into House 7 (relationship, confrontation, and the mirror of others), with Aries style (initiative, speed, confrontation, and direct action).

    Concrete support: Lilith's ideal source can elevate Venus: beauty, attraction, taste, and desire can feel magnetic, pure, or iconic.

    Concrete friction: this aspect creates tension between pleasure, self-worth, desire, excess, and promise: the search for beauty or ease can become too large, too costly, or too indulgent. House 11 (networks, audience, groups, ideas, ideologies, political beliefs, and collective projects) is in friction with House 9 (vision, belief, study, and wider horizons); this can create blockage, inhibition, overreaction, or repeated conflict between the two fields.



Terry McDermott has Mars in Virgo, in the House 1

How to read this placement

Mars in Virgo in House 1 is one concrete combination: Mars gives action, courage, competition, and effort, the Virgo style gives precision, method, usefulness, and attention to detail, and House 1 gives the life field: presence, body, and the way experience is entered.

More about this placement

House 1 (presence, body, and the way experience is entered) gives the field; exact aspects show whether the planet is supported, blocked, fused, or contradicted.

Visible angle: Mars near the Rising sign (orb 2.5°) touches an angle; this placement is easier to notice through first impression, body language, reflexes, and entry style.

With Mars in Virgo, action becomes technical, precise, and corrective. The person fights by improving, fixing, analyzing, training, and making the situation more workable. This Mars is strong for craft, discipline, health routines, problem-solving, and practical service. Under stress, it can become irritable, hypercritical, anxious, or trapped in details instead of taking the larger action.
In the 1st house, Mars puts action directly into body, behavior, first impression, and the way the person enters situations. Others may perceive speed, heat, courage, impatience, or combativeness before they know the rest of the chart. The person often meets life by acting first, testing resistance, and asserting presence physically. At best, this gives initiative, athletic force, directness, and the ability to defend oneself. Under stress, it can become aggression, impulsive reactions, unnecessary conflict, or the feeling that every situation must be won.
