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 Sagittarius
The Explorer. Honest, free and far-seeing.
17°38′
Moon in Aries
The Moon moved from Pisces into Aries at 1:46 a.m. that day, local time: in Pisces for a birth before then, in Aries for one after.
5°10′
Mercury in Sagittarius
Mercury moved from Scorpio into Sagittarius at 4:06 a.m. that day, local time: in Scorpio for a birth before then, in Sagittarius for one after.

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 Gemini
The direction her life grows in: Gemini, curious and quick-witted.
24°47′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
9°23′
Black Moon Lilith in Pisces
In Pisces, Lilith is a dreamer who wants no rescuing, with a private world all its own.
3°55′
The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.
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.
Venus conjunction Jupiter almost exact at 0.7°
A generous heart: love and good company came to her easily, and she shared both.
Saturn sextile Uranus almost exact at 0.8°
Old and new sat well together: she could change things without throwing out what worked.
Mars trine Neptune almost exact at 0.8°
She worked for ideals: her drive came alive for a cause, a role or a dream.
The Sun conjunction Neptune close at 1.9°
She took in moods, music and other people’s hopes, and gave them back as something new.
The Moon trine Uranus close at 2.6°
Her feelings liked freedom: she needed space in close ties and gave it back just as easily.
The Sun trine Mars close at 2.8°
Her purpose and her drive worked together: once she decided on something, she moved on it fast.

The Sun square Pluto wide at 3.3°
Nothing about her was halfway: she insisted on running her own life, and the struggle made her formidable.
Pluto square North Node wide at 3.9°
Old attachments held her back from the way forward, and she grew by letting some things go.
Mars sextile North Node wide at 4.4°
Courage moved her forward, and each bold step took her further along her path.
Neptune opposition North Node wide at 5.2°
Dreams and the way forward clashed, and growing meant trading some illusions for clear sight.
Jupiter square Saturn wide at 6.3°
Growth and caution kept checking each other: she moved forward in bursts, then paused to consolidate.
The Sun opposition North Node wide at 7.2°
Being herself and growing asked for different things, and her biggest steps forward came when she stretched past her habits.
Chart signature
What’s this?Close
The chart’s balance at a glance: which of the four elements and three modes it leans on, which body is most connected, and any body standing alone.

Modes
The Moon changed sign that day; it is counted where it stood at noon.
No earth at all, so the practical, settled side was the one she had to find.
