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 Aries
The Pioneer. First in, first to try.

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 Sagittarius
The direction her life grows in: Sagittarius, free and far-ranging.
9°55′
Chiron in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.
10°23′
Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.
12°36′
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 mind, her discipline and her independence (Mercury in Pisces, Saturn in Sagittarius and Uranus in Cancer) 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.
Mercury quincunx Neptune almost exact at 0.1°
Meaning comes to her before the words do, and clear speech follows the feeling.
Venus square Jupiter close at 1.0°
She loves too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures run past what one life can use.
Mercury trine Uranus close at 1.3°
A quick, original mind: ideas arrive in flashes, and she sees answers others miss.
Uranus square Neptune close at 1.4°
The urge for change and the longing for ideals clash, and she lives with both.
The Sun trine North Node close at 1.9°
The direction her life takes suits her: being herself and growing go hand in hand.
Mercury trine Saturn close at 3.0°
A patient, exact mind: she chooses every word, and her thinking gets sharper with practice.

Heavy demands and hard limits: she faces a great deal of pressure and comes out tougher for it.
Saturn conjunction North Node wide at 7.3°
A serious path: growing asks for patience, and she gives it.
The Sun conjunction Mercury wide at 8.4°
Her mind and her identity are close together: she speaks as she thinks, and her ideas are part of who she is.
