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 Gemini
The Sun moved from Gemini into Cancer at 10:00 p.m. that day, local time: in Gemini for a birth before then, in Cancer for one after.
29°36′
Moon in Libra
The Peacemaker. Needing harmony.
19°20′
Mercury in Cancer
The Remembering Mind. A memory for tone.
24°02′
Venus in Taurus
The Keeper. Slow, sensual and loyal.
13°55′
Mars in Cancer
The Defender. Fierce for its own.

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 Aquarius
The direction her life grows in: Aquarius, independent and original.
3°49′
Chiron in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Chiron is the feeling of having grown up too soon, and a gift for showing others how to stand on their own.
19°19′
Black Moon Lilith in Virgo
In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.
19°55′
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 discipline and her imagination (the Moon, Saturn and Neptune) gather in Libra, 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.
Neptune sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.2°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Saturn conjunction Neptune almost exact at 0.6°
She took dreams seriously and gave them structure, and her ideals had to prove themselves.
Saturn sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.8°
Endurance: she could work through hard times, and what she built survived pressure.
Mars quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.9°
She kept adjusting how hard she pushed to fit where her life was going.
The Moon conjunction Saturn close at 1.2°
Self-contained: she kept her feelings in order, and she gave comfort in practical ways rather than in words.
The Moon square Uranus close at 1.8°
Her moods changed without warning, and she wanted closeness and room to breathe at the same time.

The Moon conjunction Neptune close at 1.8°

Mercury square Neptune close at 2.9°
Facts and dreams blurred together in her mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details mattered.
Saturn square Uranus close at 3.0°
Tradition and rebellion fought in her: she wanted security and freedom, and could rarely have both at once.
Mercury square Saturn wide at 3.5°
She doubted her own ideas before anyone else could, and so she checked every one twice.
Uranus square Neptune wide at 3.6°
The urge for change and the longing for ideals clashed, and she lived with both.
Venus sextile Uranus wide at 3.6°
She loved the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all her own.
The Sun quincunx North Node wide at 4.2°
The way forward asked her to bend habits that felt like part of who she was.
The Sun conjunction Mars wide at 5.2°
Purpose and drive in one place: she was quick to start, quick to compete and hard to stop.
Jupiter trine North Node wide at 6.1°
Hope helped her grow: faith in what was possible kept her moving forward.
Mercury conjunction Uranus wide at 6.5°
She thought in leaps: brilliant, contrary and quick to get bored with the obvious.
The Sun trine Neptune wide at 8.5°
Imagination and identity worked together: she could become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
