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 Taurus
The Gardener. Steady, sensual and sure.
21°34′
Moon in Gemini
The Moon moved from Taurus into Gemini at 3:41 a.m. that day, local time: in Taurus for a birth before then, in Gemini for one after.
4°12′
Mercury in Taurus
The Careful Thinker. Slow to decide, sure once decided.
9°10′
Venus in Aries
The Chaser. Love at first sight.

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.
25°19′
Chiron in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.
18°11′
Black Moon Lilith in Cancer
In Cancer, Lilith is a fierce need to belong, and no wish to look after anyone on command.
3°58′
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.
Mercury sextile Jupiter almost exact at 0.1°
A generous, wide-ranging mind: she learned easily, told a good story and saw the big picture.
Saturn trine North Node almost exact at 0.5°
Discipline helped her grow: patience and hard work kept her on course.
Mercury sextile Neptune close at 1.4°
She thought in pictures and music: her words carried a mood, and her imagination gave her ideas colour.
Jupiter conjunction Neptune close at 1.5°
A dreamer’s faith: she believed in something larger, and her compassion and her hopes went together.
Uranus opposition Neptune close at 1.9°
The urge for change and the longing for ideals clashed, and she lived with both.
Saturn square Pluto close at 2.3°
Heavy demands and hard limits: she faced a great deal of pressure and came out tougher for it.

The Sun sextile North Node wide at 3.7°

Mars opposition Neptune wide at 5.4°
