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.
25°58′
Moon in Virgo
The Moon moved from Leo into Virgo at 6:11 a.m. that day, local time: in Leo for a birth before then, in Virgo for one after.
2°52′
Mercury in Capricorn
The Planner. Foundations first.
11°27′
Venus in Sagittarius
The Adventurer. Love as an adventure.
9°08′

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 Virgo
The direction her life grows in: Virgo, precise and helpful.
18°34′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
5°03′
Black Moon Lilith in Leo
In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.
10°42′
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 her chart, her identity, her mind and her drive (the Sun, Mercury and Mars) gather in Capricorn, and that part of life drew her attention first.
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 0.1°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Neptune square North Node almost exact at 0.8°
Dreams and the way forward clashed, and growing meant trading some illusions for clear sight.
The Sun conjunction Mars almost exact at 0.9°
Purpose and drive in one place: she was quick to start, quick to compete and hard to stop.
Uranus sextile North Node close at 1.8°
Change helped her forward: she grew by trying the new.
Mercury trine Saturn close at 2.0°
A patient, exact mind: she chose every word, and her thinking got sharper with practice.
Venus trine Jupiter wide at 4.0°
Affection came to her with generosity attached: her heart and her optimism helped each other.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Venus square Saturn wide at 4.3°
Love felt like something to be earned, and she held back until she was sure of it.
Saturn conjunction North Node wide at 5.1°
A serious path: growing asked for patience, and she gave it.
The Sun sextile Uranus wide at 5.7°
Independence came easily: she did things her own way, and people found it refreshing rather than rude.
Saturn square Neptune wide at 5.9°
The dream and the hard work seldom agreed on terms: her discipline and her imagination asked different things of her.
The Sun square Pluto wide at 6.8°
Nothing about her was halfway: she insisted on running her own life, and the struggle made her formidable.
The Sun trine North Node wide at 7.4°
The direction her life took suited her: being herself and growing went hand in hand.
The Sun opposition Jupiter wide at 9.1°
She reached for more than one life could hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
