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 Virgo

    The Fixer. Precise, useful and kind.

    22°34′

  • Moon in Libra

    The Moon moved from Virgo into Libra at 12:45 a.m. that day, local time: in Virgo for a birth before then, in Libra for one after.

    5°46′

  • Mercury in Libra

    The Mediator. Both sides of the question.

    15°17′

  • Venus in Scorpio

    The Devotee. All or nothing.

    8°49′

  • Mars in Sagittarius

    The Champion. The long shot.

    24°53′

Beyond the planetsNorth Node in Gemini, Chiron and Lilith
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.

    18°46′

  • Chiron in Leo

    In Leo, Chiron is a quiet doubt about deserving the light, and a gift for helping others shine without apology.

    1°29′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Leo

    In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.

    16°07′

The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.

Aspects by strength17 between the planets, the closest first
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.

  • Mars sextile Uranus almost exact at 0.1°

    Quick and inventive in action: she moved fast, broke with habit and made sudden changes work.

  • Venus sextile Saturn almost exact at 0.5°

    Loyal in love: she chose carefully, and what she built with people lasted.

  • Venus quincunx Pluto almost exact at 0.9°

    Affection and the need for control kept getting in each other’s way, and trust took her time.

  • The Moon trine Neptune close at 1.0°

    She picked up what others felt before a word was said, and her compassion reached far.

  • Neptune conjunction Pluto close at 1.1°

    Imagination and intensity in one place, a meeting that comes about once in five hundred years: a feel for how things end and begin again.

  • Saturn square Pluto close at 1.4°

    Heavy demands and hard limits: she faced a great deal of pressure and came out tougher for it.

  • Venus quincunx Neptune close at 2.0°

    What she wanted from love and what love gave her kept needing adjustment, and she learned to see people as they were.

  • The Moon trine Pluto close at 2.1°

    Her feelings ran deep and held steady: she came through hard times with more strength than she went in with.

  • The Sun square Mars close at 2.3°

    She fought hard for what she wanted, and her temper was part of her courage.

  • Saturn square Neptune close at 2.5°

    The dream and the hard work seldom agreed on terms: her discipline and her imagination asked different things of her.

  • Mercury trine North Node wide at 3.5°

    Her way with words helped her find her direction, and the right ideas came at the right time.

  • The Sun square North Node wide at 3.8°

    Being herself and growing asked for different things, and her biggest steps forward came when she stretched past her habits.

  • Jupiter trine Neptune wide at 4.2°

    Faith and imagination together: she believed in people and ideals, and that belief was catching.

  • Jupiter trine Pluto wide at 5.3°

    Ambition with depth: she knew how to build influence, and she used it to make big changes.

  • Mars opposition North Node wide at 6.1°

    Old fights and the way forward disagreed, and she grew by choosing which battles mattered.

  • Uranus trine North Node wide at 6.2°

    Change helped her forward: she grew by trying the new.

  • Venus square Jupiter wide at 6.2°

    She loved too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures ran past what one life could use.
