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 Leo
The Bright One. Warm, proud and generous.
26°07′
Moon in Pisces
The Tide. Tender, and stronger than it looks.
8°59′
Mercury in Virgo
The Analyst. The editor’s eye.
14°38′
Venus in Leo
The Romantic. Grand, generous love.
17°19′
Mars in Gemini
The Multitasker. Quick with the comeback.
27°01′

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 Scorpio
The direction her life grows in: Scorpio, intense and private.
4°43′
Chiron in Gemini
In Gemini, Chiron is an old fear of not being heard, which becomes a gift for finding the words others lack.
3°23′
Black Moon Lilith in Libra
In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.
28°23′
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 drive, her discipline and her intensity (Mars, Saturn and Pluto) gather in Gemini, 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.
The Moon square Saturn almost exact at 0.1°
Feelings came second to duty: she held herself to a high standard, even in private.
The Sun sextile Mars almost exact at 0.9°
Her purpose and her drive worked together: once she decided on something, she moved on it fast.
Uranus trine Neptune almost exact at 0.9°
Change and idealism went together: new ideas came wrapped in dreams of a better world.
Jupiter sextile Uranus close at 1.0°
Sudden openings: she spotted new chances early and jumped at them.
Jupiter sextile Neptune close at 1.9°
Faith and imagination together: she believed in people and ideals, and that belief was catching.
Venus square Neptune wide at 3.8°
She loved the dream of a person, and the real one had to compete with it.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Mars square Uranus wide at 5.0°
Restless and quick to rebel: she pushed against limits, and sudden decisions came with the territory.
The Sun square Neptune wide at 5.0°
The self she knew and the image others saw drifted apart at times, and she worked to keep hold of the real one.
The Sun square Pluto wide at 5.1°
Nothing about her was halfway: she insisted on running her own life, and the struggle made her formidable.
Mercury square Saturn wide at 5.5°
She doubted her own ideas before anyone else could, and so she checked every one twice.
Saturn conjunction Pluto wide at 7.9°
Iron will and great patience: she built slowly and for keeps.
The Sun conjunction Venus wide at 8.8°
Charm came naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things were close to her core.
