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 Pisces
The Dreamer. Gentle, dreamy and deep.
1°41′
Moon in Sagittarius
The Moon moved from Sagittarius into Capricorn at 7:56 p.m. that day, local time: in Sagittarius for a birth before then, in Capricorn 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 Libra
The direction her life grows in: Libra, graceful and fair.
17°03′
Chiron in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Chiron is the feeling of having grown up too soon, and a gift for showing others how to stand on their own.
19°58′
Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.
12°05′
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 identity, her heart and her optimism (the Sun, Venus and Jupiter) gather in Pisces, and that part of life drew 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.
Pluto trine North Node almost exact at 0.6°
Deep change helped her forward: each time she started over, she went further.
The Sun trine Neptune almost exact at 0.7°
Imagination and identity worked together: she could become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
Jupiter trine Neptune almost exact at 0.7°
Faith and imagination together: she believed in people and ideals, and that belief was catching.
Mars conjunction North Node almost exact at 0.8°
Driven towards her path: she went after the life she wanted with real force.
The Moon conjunction Uranus close at 1.1°
Restless feelings: she felt most at home where things were new.
The Sun conjunction Jupiter close at 1.4°
Optimism at the centre of her: she expected things to go well, and that confidence won people over.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Mars trine Pluto close at 1.5°
Stamina and willpower: she kept going long after others stopped, and she did her best work under pressure.
Mercury conjunction Saturn close at 2.0°
Serious thoughts: she said less than she knew, and what she said held up.
Saturn quincunx Neptune close at 2.8°
Duty and dreams kept trading places as the priority.
Venus square Uranus wide at 3.2°
Love came in sudden starts and stops: she fell for people quickly and needed room just as quickly.
Venus square Pluto wide at 4.1°
Love came with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where she stood.
Uranus opposition Neptune wide at 6.0°
The urge for change and the longing for ideals clashed, and she lived with both.
Uranus opposition Pluto wide at 7.3°
Upheaval and the urge to break free ran strong, and she pushed for change rather than waiting for it.
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.
Elements
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.
