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 Capricorn
The Architect. Ambitious, patient and dry.
26°52′
Moon in Virgo
The Moon moved from Virgo into Libra at 9:21 p.m. that day, local time: in Virgo for a birth before then, in Libra for one after.
24°24′
Mercury in Aquarius
The Inventor. The original thinker.
10°05′
Venus in Capricorn
The Loyal Partner. Love built to last.
21°27′

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 Libra
The direction her life grows in: Libra, graceful and fair.
11°51′
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.
9°48′
Black Moon Lilith in Pisces
In Pisces, Lilith is a dreamer who wants no rescuing, with a private world all its own.
1°30′
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.
T-square
Two planets pull against each other, and a third stands at right angles to both, where the strain gathers.
In her chart, her mind (Mercury in Aquarius) and her imagination (Neptune in Leo) face each other across the wheel, and her drive (Mars in Scorpio) took the strain: the part of her that worked hardest.
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 independence and her intensity (Mars in Scorpio, Uranus in Pisces 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.
Saturn quincunx Uranus almost exact at 0.3°
When to keep the rules and when to break them took constant deciding.
Saturn square Pluto close at 1.1°
Heavy demands and hard limits: she faced a great deal of pressure and came out tougher for it.
Uranus trine Pluto close at 1.3°
She could help change things at the root, and upheaval suited her.
Mercury quincunx Pluto close at 1.4°
What she knew and what she said needed careful managing, and secrets sat uneasily with her.
Mercury trine North Node close at 1.8°
Her way with words helped her find her direction, and the right ideas came at the right time.
Mars square Neptune close at 2.3°
Drive and dreams mixed uneasily: the goal was clear to her, and the way to it harder to see.

Mercury trine Saturn close at 2.5°
A patient, exact mind: she chose every word, and her thinking got sharper with practice.
Mercury square Mars close at 2.7°
Sharp words and a sharp mind: she argued well, sometimes too well, and a debate was a kind of sport to her.
Venus square Jupiter close at 3.0°
She loved too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures ran past what one life could use.
Pluto square North Node wide at 3.2°
Old attachments held her back from the way forward, and she grew by letting some things go.
Neptune sextile North Node wide at 3.2°
Imagination helped her forward, through art, ideals and care for others.
Jupiter sextile Neptune wide at 3.4°
Faith and imagination together: she believed in people and ideals, and that belief was catching.
Mars trine Pluto wide at 4.2°
Stamina and willpower: she kept going long after others stopped, and she did her best work under pressure.
Saturn conjunction North Node wide at 4.2°
A serious path: growing asked for patience, and she gave it.
Mercury opposition Neptune wide at 5.0°
Facts and dreams blurred together in her mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details mattered.
The Sun conjunction Venus wide at 5.4°
Charm came naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things were close to her core.
Mars trine Uranus wide at 5.5°
Quick and inventive in action: she moved fast, broke with habit and made sudden changes work.
Jupiter conjunction North Node wide at 6.6°
Generosity was part of her path: teaching, travel and big ideas moved her forward.
The Sun square Jupiter wide at 8.4°
She reached for more than one life could hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
