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 Gemini
The Messenger. Curious and many-sided.
10°47′
Moon in Scorpio
The Moon moved from Libra into Scorpio at 7:11 a.m. that day, local time: in Libra for a birth before then, in Scorpio for one after.
2°38′
Mercury in Cancer
The Remembering Mind. A memory for tone.
4°04′
Venus in Taurus
The Keeper. Slow, sensual and loyal.
1°34′
Mars in Cancer
The Defender. Fierce for its own.
25°30′

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 Sagittarius
The direction her life grows in: Sagittarius, free and far-ranging.
19°25′
Chiron in Aries
In Aries, Chiron is a doubt about the right to go first, and with it a talent for giving others their nerve.
23°10′
Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Lilith is the outsider’s streak, at its best when it does not fit in.
2°12′
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 mind, her drive and her discipline (Mercury, Mars and Saturn) gather in Cancer, and that part of life draws 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.
Mercury square Pluto exact at 0.0°
Her words have force: she speaks to persuade, and she keeps her own counsel until the right moment.
Saturn square Pluto almost exact at 0.5°
Heavy demands and hard limits: she faces a great deal of pressure and comes out tougher for it.
Mercury conjunction Saturn almost exact at 0.6°
Serious thoughts: she says less than she knows, and what she says holds up.
The Moon opposition Venus close at 1.1°
What comforts her and what she loves are different things, so her heart and her moods keep negotiating.
The Moon trine Mercury close at 1.4°
Feeling and thought speak the same language: she can put a mood into words, and her words carry feeling.
Mars square Uranus close at 1.5°
Restless and quick to rebel: she pushes against limits, and sudden decisions come with the territory.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
The Moon trine Saturn close at 2.0°
Steady feelings: she keeps calm under strain, and she loves in ways that last.
Mercury sextile Venus close at 2.5°
A graceful mind: she speaks kindly and well, and she knows how to say a hard thing gently.
The Sun opposition Neptune close at 2.6°
The self she knows and the image others see drift apart at times, and she works to keep hold of the real one.
Venus sextile Saturn wide at 3.1°
Loyal in love: she chooses carefully, and what she builds with people lasts.
Jupiter square North Node wide at 3.6°
Easy hopes and the harder way forward go different ways, and real growth comes from the harder one.
Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 4.1°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Uranus sextile North Node wide at 4.6°
Change helps her forward: she grows by trying the new.
The Sun square Jupiter wide at 5.1°
She reaches for more than one life can hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
Venus square Mars wide at 6.1°
In love she wants tenderness and a chase at once, and her relationships are rarely calm.
The Sun trine Pluto wide at 6.7°
A quiet strength: under pressure she grows more focused, and she knows how to start over.
The Sun opposition North Node wide at 8.7°
Being herself and growing ask for different things, and her biggest steps forward come when she stretches past her habits.
