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.
2°27′
Moon in Aquarius
The Moon moved from Capricorn into Aquarius at 5:05 a.m. that day, local time: in Capricorn for a birth before then, in Aquarius for one after.
4°16′
Mercury in Virgo
The Analyst. The editor’s eye.
21°52′
Venus in Cancer
The Nurturer. Love that makes a home.
16°42′

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 Pisces
The direction her life grows in: Pisces, dreamy and compassionate.
14°06′
Chiron in Cancer
In Cancer, Chiron is an early longing to belong somewhere, and a knack for making strangers feel at home.
5°26′
Black Moon Lilith in Virgo
In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.
11°29′
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.
The Moon trine Jupiter almost exact at 0.4°
Good-hearted and generous: she feels looked after by life, and she passes that on.
Saturn conjunction Uranus close at 1.1°
Disciplined originality: she builds new things on solid foundations.
Mars quincunx Pluto close at 1.3°
Force and restraint keep trading places, and she learns when to let go.
The Sun square Jupiter close at 2.2°
She reaches for more than one life can hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 2.5°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Venus trine North Node close at 2.6°
Love and friendship move her forward: the people she cares for help her find her way.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Jupiter quincunx Neptune close at 2.9°
Her ideals and her beliefs need constant matching up, and she keeps asking what she really believes.
Mars square Neptune wide at 3.9°
Drive and dreams mix uneasily: the goal is clear to her, and the way to it harder to see.
Pluto trine North Node wide at 4.0°
Deep change helps her forward: each time she starts over, she goes further.
Mercury square Saturn wide at 4.1°
She doubts her own ideas before anyone else can, and so she checks every one twice.
The Sun trine Neptune wide at 5.1°
Imagination and identity work together: she can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
Mercury square Uranus wide at 5.2°
Her mind runs ahead of the conversation: she says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.
Venus square Mars wide at 5.2°
In love she wants tenderness and a chase at once, and her relationships are rarely calm.
The Sun trine Uranus wide at 5.4°
Independence comes easily: she does things her own way, and people find it refreshing rather than rude.
The Sun trine Saturn wide at 6.5°
Purpose and patience work as a team: she builds slowly and gets better with every year.
