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.
7°49′
Moon in Libra
The Moon moved from Libra into Scorpio at 8:34 p.m. that day, local time: in Libra for a birth before then, in Scorpio for one after.
24°48′
Mercury in Taurus
The Careful Thinker. Slow to decide, sure once decided.
17°17′
Venus in Aries
The Chaser. Love at first sight.
27°11′
Mars in Pisces
The Gentle Warrior. Strength that flows round.

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 Scorpio
The direction her life grows in: Scorpio, intense and private.
0°51′
Chiron in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.
22°43′
Black Moon Lilith in Aries
In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.
11°00′
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.
Grand trine
Three planets in an easy triangle, each in flowing contact with the other two: a gift that comes without effort.
In her chart, her heart, her discipline and her intensity (Venus in Aries, Saturn in Sagittarius and Pluto in Leo) make the triangle, so these come to her naturally.
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.
Mars square Saturn almost exact at 0.3°
Drive with the brakes on: she wants to move, something holds her back, and the friction makes her tough.
The Sun sextile Uranus almost exact at 0.6°
Independence comes easily: she does things her own way, and people find it refreshing rather than rude.
Pluto sextile North Node close at 1.0°
Deep change helps her forward: each time she starts over, she goes further.
Jupiter sextile Saturn close at 1.1°
Hope and caution in balance: she dreams big and plans carefully, and both help.
Mars quincunx Jupiter close at 1.5°
Drive and hope keep going in slightly different directions, and she aims again and again.
Neptune conjunction North Node close at 1.7°
A path lit by imagination: she follows a vision more than a plan.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
The Moon opposition Venus close at 2.4°
What comforts her and what she loves are different things, so her heart and her moods keep negotiating.
The Moon conjunction Jupiter close at 2.4°
Big feelings and a big heart: her good moods lift everyone near, and she gives comfort freely.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 2.7°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Venus trine Pluto close at 2.7°
She loves with depth and loyalty, and the bonds she forms change both people.
Venus trine Saturn wide at 3.6°
Loyal in love: she chooses carefully, and what she builds with people lasts.
Venus opposition North Node wide at 3.7°
What feels comfortable in love and what helps her grow are different things, and she chooses between them more than once.
Venus opposition Jupiter wide at 4.8°
She loves too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures run past what one life can use.
Venus opposition Neptune wide at 5.3°
She loves the dream of a person, and the real one has to compete with it.
Uranus square Neptune wide at 5.9°
The urge for change and the longing for ideals clash, and she lives with both.
Saturn trine Pluto wide at 6.3°
Endurance: she can work through hard times, and what she builds survives pressure.
The Sun square Pluto wide at 8.0°
Nothing about her is halfway: she insists on running her own life, and the struggle makes her formidable.
