The chart, fact by fact

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.

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.
2°41′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
20°05′
Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Lilith is an intensity and a private power that stay unexplained.
18°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 optimism, her discipline and her intensity (Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto) gather in Libra, 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.
Mars trine Saturn exact at 0.0°
Her drive and her discipline work together easily: she can push hard and keep going.
Mercury conjunction Venus almost exact at 0.1°
Words with charm in them: she has an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people like listening to her.
The Sun square the Moon almost exact at 0.3°
The self she shows the world and the self she comes home to want different things, and she makes room for both.
Mars sextile North Node almost exact at 0.3°
Courage moves her forward, and each bold step takes her further along her path.
Saturn sextile North Node almost exact at 0.3°
Discipline helps her grow: patience and hard work keep her on course.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.9°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.

Venus square Jupiter wide at 4.4°
She loves too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures run past what one life can use.

Big ideas and loose details: she thinks on a large scale, and the small print is where things get away from her.
