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.

Beyond the planetsNorth Node in Aries, Chiron and Lilith
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.

    16°41′

  • Chiron in Sagittarius

    In Sagittarius, Chiron is a restless question about what it all means, and a gift for lending others a wider view.

    5°36′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Aries

    In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.

    18°47′

The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.

PatternsStellium
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 and her imagination (the Sun, Mercury and Neptune) gather in Libra, and that part of life draws her attention first.

Aspects by strength19 between the planets, the closest first
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 square Venus almost exact at 0.4°

    What comforts her and what she loves are different things, so her heart and her moods keep negotiating.

  • Mars trine North Node close at 1.0°

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

  • Pluto trine North Node close at 1.0°

    Deep change helps her forward: each time she starts over, she goes further.

  • Mars sextile Neptune close at 1.0°

    She works for ideals: her drive comes alive for a cause, a role or a dream.

  • Venus sextile Jupiter close at 1.6°

    Affection comes to her with generosity attached: her heart and her optimism help each other.

  • Mars conjunction Pluto close at 1.9°

    Concentrated force: when she wants something, she goes after it with everything.

Show more aspectsShow fewer
  • Neptune opposition North Node close at 2.0°

    Dreams and the way forward clash, and growing means trading some illusions for clear sight.

  • The Sun conjunction Mercury close at 2.4°

    Her mind and her identity are close together: she speaks as she thinks, and her ideas are part of who she is.

  • Neptune sextile Pluto close at 3.0°

    A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.

  • The Moon opposition Pluto close at 3.0°

    She loves hard and holds on hard, and letting go takes her a long time.

  • Mercury conjunction Neptune wide at 3.1°

    A poet’s mind: she hears what goes unsaid, and her best ideas come from somewhere hard to explain.

  • Venus square Pluto wide at 3.4°

    Love comes with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where she stands.

  • The Sun square Uranus wide at 4.2°

    She needs room to be herself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.

  • Mercury opposition North Node wide at 5.1°

    Old ideas and the way forward are at odds, and she learns new ways of thinking to move on.

  • Venus square Mars wide at 5.3°

    In love she wants tenderness and a chase at once, and her relationships are rarely calm.

  • The Sun conjunction Neptune wide at 5.5°

    She takes in moods, music and other people’s hopes, and gives them back as something new.

  • Jupiter square North Node wide at 6.0°

    Easy hopes and the harder way forward go different ways, and real growth comes from the harder one.

  • The Sun sextile Mars wide at 6.6°

    Her purpose and her drive work together: once she decides on something, she moves on it fast.

  • The Sun opposition North Node wide at 7.5°

    Being herself and growing ask for different things, and her biggest steps forward come when she stretches past her habits.
