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.

Beyond the planetsNorth Node in Aries, Chiron and Lilith
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 Aries

    The direction her life grows in: Aries, bold and direct.

    25°26′

  • Chiron in Pisces

    In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.

    25°25′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Taurus

    In Taurus, Lilith is an appetite for pleasure that sees no need to apologise.

    10°12′

The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.

PatternsStellium, T-square
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 optimism, her independence and her intensity (the Moon, Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto) gather in Virgo, and that part of life draws her attention first.

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 discipline (Saturn in Aries) and her independence (Uranus in Virgo) face each other across the wheel, and her identity (the Sun in Capricorn) takes the strain: the part of her that works hardest.

Aspects by strength20 between the planets, the closest first
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.

  • Jupiter quincunx Saturn exact at 0.0°

    When to expand and when to hold back takes constant rethinking.

  • Neptune quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.1°

    She grows by testing her ideals against real life, again and again.

  • The Moon sextile Venus almost exact at 0.4°

    She puts people at ease without trying: kindness and charm come from the same place.

  • Mercury square Uranus close at 1.4°

    Her mind runs ahead of the conversation: she says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.

  • The Sun square Uranus close at 1.8°

    She needs room to be herself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.

  • Venus square Mars close at 1.9°

    In love she wants tenderness and a chase at once, and her relationships are rarely calm.

Show more aspectsShow fewer
  • Mercury trine North Node close at 2.4°

    Her way with words helps her find her direction, and the right ideas come at the right time.

  • Neptune sextile Pluto close at 2.5°

    A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.

  • Pluto quincunx North Node close at 2.6°

    She keeps giving up a little control to keep growing.

  • The Sun conjunction Mercury wide at 3.1°

    Her mind and her identity are close together: she speaks as she thinks, and her ideas are part of who she is.

  • Uranus sextile Neptune wide at 3.8°

    Change and idealism go together: new ideas come wrapped in dreams of a better world.

  • Venus sextile Pluto wide at 4.1°

    She loves with depth and loyalty, and the bonds she forms change both people.

  • The Sun square Saturn wide at 4.9°

    Self-belief comes slowly and has to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counts.

  • The Sun trine Jupiter wide at 4.9°

    Her confidence comes easily and spreads: she thinks big, and other people want to come along.

  • Mercury square Pluto wide at 4.9°

    Her words have force: she speaks to persuade, and she keeps her own counsel until the right moment.

  • The Sun trine North Node wide at 5.5°

    The direction her life takes suits her: being herself and growing go hand in hand.

  • Uranus conjunction Pluto wide at 6.3°

    Born into a time of upheaval: she wants radical change, and wants it at once.

  • Venus conjunction Neptune wide at 6.7°

    Romance without limits: she falls for ideals as much as people, and her taste runs to the dreamy and the beautiful.

  • Saturn opposition Uranus wide at 6.7°

    Tradition and rebellion fight in her: she wants security and freedom, and can rarely have both at once.

  • The Sun square Pluto wide at 8.1°

    Nothing about her is halfway: she insists on running her own life, and the struggle makes her formidable.
