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 Aquarius
The Free Thinker. Original, free and humane.
28°26′
Moon in Taurus
The Moon moved from Aries into Taurus at 6:05 a.m. that day, local time: in Aries for a birth before then, in Taurus for one after.
3°34′
Mercury in Aquarius
The Inventor. The original thinker.
19°29′
Venus in Aries
The Chaser. Love at first sight.
14°27′
Mars in Aquarius
The Rebel. Rebel with a cause.

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.
17°38′
Chiron in Libra
In Libra, Chiron is a soft spot around being chosen and kept, and a gift for making others feel met as equals.
2°30′
Black Moon Lilith in Libra
In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.
10°41′
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 mind and her drive (the Sun, Mercury and Mars) gather in Aquarius, 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.
Uranus sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.4°
She could help change things at the root, and upheaval suited her.
The Moon square Mars close at 1.2°
Quick feelings and a quick temper: she reacted first, and her courage came from the same place as her flashes of anger.
Mars quincunx Saturn close at 1.7°
When to push and when to wait took constant judging, and she learned timing the hard way.
Mercury quincunx North Node close at 1.9°
Her habits of thought needed small, steady changes to fit the way forward.
Saturn square Neptune close at 1.9°
The dream and the hard work seldom agreed on terms: her discipline and her imagination asked different things of her.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 2.7°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.

Her mind and her identity were close together: she spoke as she thought, and her ideas were part of who she was.
