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 Cancer
The Protector. Home, memory and care.
22°59′
Moon in Libra
The Moon moved from Virgo into Libra at 10:35 a.m. that day, local time: in Virgo for a birth before then, in Libra for one after.

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 Cancer
The direction her life grows in: Cancer, protective and caring.
23°22′
Chiron in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.
16°51′
Black Moon Lilith in Cancer
In Cancer, Lilith is a fierce need to belong, and no wish to look after anyone on command.
11°06′
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 identity, her heart, her optimism and her imagination (the Sun, Venus, Jupiter and Neptune) gather in Cancer, and that part of life drew 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 conjunction Uranus almost exact at 0.3°
Electric: she acted on impulse, loved a risk and refused to be told what to do.
The Sun conjunction Jupiter almost exact at 0.3°
Optimism at the centre of her: she expected things to go well, and that confidence won people over.
The Sun conjunction North Node almost exact at 0.4°
Her identity and her direction in life lined up: the more fully she became herself, the further she went.
Jupiter conjunction North Node almost exact at 0.7°
Generosity was part of her path: teaching, travel and big ideas moved her forward.
Mars opposition Neptune close at 2.3°
Drive and dreams mixed uneasily: the goal was clear to her, and the way to it harder to see.
Uranus opposition Neptune close at 2.6°
The urge for change and the longing for ideals clashed, and she lived with both.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
The Moon opposition Saturn wide at 3.3°
Feelings came second to duty: she held herself to a high standard, even in private.
Saturn square Pluto wide at 3.5°
Heavy demands and hard limits: she faced a great deal of pressure and came out tougher for it.
Venus opposition Uranus wide at 3.6°
Love came in sudden starts and stops: she fell for people quickly and needed room just as quickly.
Venus opposition Mars wide at 3.9°
In love she wanted tenderness and a chase at once, and her relationships were rarely calm.
Saturn trine North Node wide at 4.0°
Discipline helped her grow: patience and hard work kept her on course.
The Sun trine Saturn wide at 4.4°
Purpose and patience worked as a team: she built slowly and got better with every year.
Jupiter trine Saturn wide at 4.7°
Hope and caution in balance: she dreamed big and planned carefully, and both helped.
Venus conjunction Neptune wide at 6.2°
Romance without limits: she fell for ideals as much as people, and her taste ran to the dreamy and the beautiful.
