The chart, fact by fact
Planets

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 Capricorn
The Architect. Ambitious, patient and dry.

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 Virgo
The direction her life grows in: Virgo, precise and helpful.
24°17′
Chiron in Aries
In Aries, Chiron is a doubt about the right to go first, and with it a talent for giving others their nerve.
12°58′
Black Moon Lilith in Aries
In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.
9°19′
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 feelings, her drive and her independence (the Moon, Mars and Uranus) gather in Pisces, and that part of life drew her attention first.
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 drive, her optimism and her intensity (Mars in Pisces, Jupiter in Scorpio and Pluto in Cancer) make the triangle, so these came 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.
Uranus trine Pluto almost exact at 0.1°
She could help change things at the root, and upheaval suited her.
Mercury sextile Jupiter almost exact at 0.2°
A generous, wide-ranging mind: she learned easily, told a good story and saw the big picture.
Mars conjunction Uranus almost exact at 0.5°
Electric: she acted on impulse, loved a risk and refused to be told what to do.
Mars trine Pluto almost exact at 0.7°
Stamina and willpower: she kept going long after others stopped, and she did her best work under pressure.
Saturn sextile Neptune close at 1.1°
Practical dreams: she gave ideals a shape and worked to make them real.
Jupiter trine Pluto close at 1.7°
Ambition with depth: she knew how to build influence, and she used it to make big changes.
