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.
21°01′
Moon in Cancer
The Moon moved from Cancer into Leo at 7:07 p.m. that day, local time: in Cancer for a birth before then, in Leo for one after.
25°32′
Mercury in Leo
The Storyteller. A voice that carries.
6°37′
Venus in Leo
The Romantic. Grand, generous love.
15°33′
Mars in Cancer
The Defender. Fierce for its own.

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 Taurus
The direction her life grows in: Taurus, steady and sensual.
28°53′
Chiron in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Chiron is a wariness about trust that runs deep, and the strength to stay close when others are at their lowest.
4°00′
Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.
21°46′
The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.
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 conjunction Pluto almost exact at 0.3°
Iron will and great patience: she builds slowly and for keeps.
Venus conjunction Saturn close at 2.0°
Serious about love: she gives affection slowly, and once given, it stays given.
The Sun square Jupiter close at 2.0°
She reaches for more than one life can hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
Mercury sextile Neptune close at 2.2°
She thinks in pictures and music: her words carry a mood, and her imagination gives her ideas colour.
Venus conjunction Pluto close at 2.3°
A deep, private heart: she draws people in and keeps some feelings locked away.
Venus square Jupiter wide at 3.4°
She loves too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures run past what one life can use.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
The Sun sextile Uranus wide at 4.2°
Independence comes easily: she does things her own way, and people find it refreshing rather than rude.
Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 4.4°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Saturn sextile Neptune wide at 4.8°
Practical dreams: she gives ideals a shape and works to make them real.
Mars conjunction Uranus wide at 5.3°
Electric: she acts on impulse, loves a risk and refuses to be told what to do.
Jupiter square Saturn wide at 5.4°
Growth and caution keep checking each other: she moves forward in bursts, then pauses to consolidate.
The Sun conjunction Venus wide at 5.5°
Charm comes naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things are close to her core.
Jupiter square Pluto wide at 5.8°
She wants more power than comes easily, and the struggle for it shapes her life.
Mercury conjunction Pluto wide at 6.6°
She thinks like a detective: nothing is taken at face value, and she remembers everything.
Mercury conjunction Saturn wide at 7.0°
Serious thoughts: she says less than she knows, and what she says holds up.
The Sun conjunction Saturn wide at 7.4°
Serious from early on: purpose and duty are one thing to her, and she treats her own life as work to be done well.
The Sun conjunction Pluto wide at 7.8°
Intensity at the centre: she wants the whole truth about everything, herself first, and she remakes herself more than once to reach it.
The Sun square North Node wide at 7.9°
Being herself and growing ask for different things, and her biggest steps forward come when she stretches past her habits.

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.
