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.
23°48′
Moon in Sagittarius
The Free Spirit. Free, hopeful and restless.
8°52′
Mercury in Virgo
The Analyst. The editor’s eye.
6°43′
Venus in Virgo
The Quiet Romantic. Love in small attentions.
26°21′
Mars in Scorpio
Mars moved from Libra into Scorpio at 4:44 a.m. that day, local time: in Libra for a birth before then, in Scorpio 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 Aries
The direction her life grows in: Aries, bold and direct.
5°27′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
23°28′
Black Moon Lilith in Aries
In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.
4°38′
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 mind, her heart and her imagination (the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Neptune) gather in Virgo, and that part of life drew her attention first.
T-square
Two planets pull against each other, and a third stands at right angles to both, where the strain gathers.
In her chart, her discipline (Saturn in Capricorn) and her intensity (Pluto in Cancer) face each other across the wheel, and her independence (Uranus in Aries) took the strain: the part of her that worked hardest.
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 conjunction Neptune almost exact at 0.5°
A poet’s mind: she heard what went unsaid, and her best ideas came from somewhere hard to explain.
Neptune quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.8°
She grew by testing her ideals against real life, again and again.
Mercury quincunx North Node close at 1.3°
Her habits of thought needed small, steady changes to fit the way forward.
Saturn square Uranus close at 1.7°
Tradition and rebellion fought in her: she wanted security and freedom, and could rarely have both at once.
The Sun sextile Pluto close at 1.9°
A quiet strength: under pressure she grew more focused, and she knew how to start over.
The Moon square Mercury close at 2.1°
Her head and her feelings argued: she knew what she thought before she knew what she felt, or the other way round.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
The Sun conjunction Venus close at 2.6°
Charm came naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things were close to her core.
Uranus square Pluto wide at 3.6°
Upheaval and the urge to break free ran strong, and she pushed for change rather than waiting for it.
Jupiter trine Uranus wide at 5.0°
Sudden openings: she spotted new chances early and jumped at them.
Saturn opposition Pluto wide at 5.2°
Heavy demands and hard limits: she faced a great deal of pressure and came out tougher for it.
The Sun trine Saturn wide at 7.1°
Purpose and patience worked as a team: she built slowly and got better with every year.
