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 Aquarius
The Free Thinker. Original, free and humane.
19°48′
Moon in Leo
The Moon moved from Leo into Virgo at 11:08 p.m. that day, local time: in Leo for a birth before then, in Virgo for one after.
24°31′
Mercury in Capricorn
The Planner. Foundations first.
26°06′
Venus in Capricorn
The Loyal Partner. Love built to last.
15°16′

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 Leo
The direction her life grows in: Leo, warm and dramatic.
6°49′
Chiron in Virgo
In Virgo, Chiron is the sense that no effort is ever quite enough, and a gift for patient, practical help.
14°21′
Black Moon Lilith in Leo
In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.
28°59′
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 drive, her discipline and her independence (Mars, Saturn and Uranus) gather in Gemini, 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.
The Sun trine Saturn exact at 0.0°
Purpose and patience work as a team: she builds slowly and gets better with every year.
Pluto conjunction North Node almost exact at 0.5°
A path of transformation: her direction in life asks her to change herself completely, more than once.
Uranus trine Neptune almost exact at 0.9°
Change and idealism go together: new ideas come wrapped in dreams of a better world.
Uranus sextile North Node close at 2.0°
Change helps her forward: she grows by trying the new.
The Moon conjunction Jupiter close at 2.1°
Big feelings and a big heart: her good moods lift everyone near, and she gives comfort freely.
Uranus sextile Pluto close at 2.5°
She can help change things at the root, and upheaval suits her.

The Sun opposition Jupiter close at 2.6°

Jupiter sextile Saturn close at 2.6°
Hope and caution in balance: she dreams big and plans carefully, and both help.
Mars sextile Pluto close at 2.6°

Imagination helps her forward, through art, ideals and care for others.

Courage moves her forward, and each bold step takes her further along her path.

Electric: she acts on impulse, loves a risk and refuses to be told what to do.
Mars trine Neptune wide at 6.0°
She works for ideals: her drive comes alive for a cause, a role or a dream.
