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 Scorpio
The Detective. Intense, private and loyal.
12°18′
Moon in Cancer
The Moon moved from Cancer into Leo at 10:20 p.m. that day, local time: in Cancer for a birth before then, in Leo for one after.
23°55′
Mercury in Libra
The Mediator. Both sides of the question.
25°48′
Venus in Scorpio
The Devotee. All or nothing.
29°16′
Mars in Libra
The Negotiator. A fighter for fairness.
14°47′

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 Sagittarius
The direction her life grows in: Sagittarius, free and far-ranging.
17°51′
Chiron in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.
0°32′
Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Lilith is a free mind that keeps only the beliefs it chose.
26°37′
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 and her discipline (the Sun, Venus and Saturn) gather in Scorpio, and that part of life draws her attention first.
Stellium
Three or more planets gathered in one sign or one house, so that part of the chart speaks loudest.
In her chart, her mind, her drive and her imagination (Mercury, Mars and Neptune) gather in Libra, and that part of life draws 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 0.1°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Jupiter sextile Neptune almost exact at 0.2°
Faith and imagination together: she believes in people and ideals, and that belief is catching.
Jupiter conjunction Pluto almost exact at 0.3°
Large ambitions and the will to see them through: she works on a grand scale.
Venus square Jupiter almost exact at 0.5°
She loves too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures run past what one life can use.
Venus square Pluto almost exact at 0.8°
Love comes with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where she stands.
The Moon trine Saturn close at 1.5°
Steady feelings: she keeps calm under strain, and she loves in ways that last.

The Moon square Mercury close at 1.9°
Her head and her feelings argue: she knows what she thinks before she knows what she feels, or the other way round.
Mercury sextile Pluto close at 2.6°
A probing mind: she gets to the bottom of things, and her words have power when she chooses to use them.
Mercury conjunction Neptune close at 2.7°
A poet’s mind: she hears what goes unsaid, and her best ideas come from somewhere hard to explain.
Mercury sextile Jupiter close at 2.9°
A generous, wide-ranging mind: she learns easily, tells a good story and sees the big picture.
Venus trine Uranus wide at 3.1°
She loves the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all her own.
Mars sextile North Node wide at 3.1°
Courage moves her forward, and each bold step takes her further along her path.
Uranus square Neptune wide at 3.8°
The urge for change and the longing for ideals clash, and she lives with both.
Saturn square Pluto wide at 6.0°
Heavy demands and hard limits: she faces a great deal of pressure and comes out tougher for it.
Jupiter square Saturn wide at 6.3°
Growth and caution keep checking each other: she moves forward in bursts, then pauses to consolidate.
Venus conjunction Saturn wide at 6.8°
Serious about love: she gives affection slowly, and once given, it stays given.
Chart signature
What’s this?Close
The chart’s balance at a glance: which of the four elements and three modes it leans on, which body is most connected, and any body standing alone.

Modes
The Moon changed sign that day; it is counted where it stood at noon.
No earth at all, so the practical, settled side is the one she has to find.
