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 Capricorn
The Architect. Ambitious, patient and dry.
3°02′
Moon in Aries
The Quick Flame. Quick to flare, quick to forgive.
8°44′
Mercury in Sagittarius
The Philosopher. The big picture.
12°29′
Venus in Aquarius
The Kindred Spirit. Friend first, lover too.
2°45′
Mars in Pisces
The Gentle Warrior. Strength that flows round.

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 Aquarius
The direction her life grows in: Aquarius, independent and original.
5°41′
Chiron in Aries
In Aries, Chiron is a doubt about the right to go first, and with it a talent for giving others their nerve.
9°22′
Black Moon Lilith in Libra
In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.
23°12′
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 mind, her optimism and her imagination (Mercury, Jupiter and Neptune) gather in Sagittarius, and that part of life draws her attention first.
Grand trine
Three planets in an easy triangle, each in flowing contact with the other two: a gift that comes without effort.
In her chart, her heart, her discipline and her intensity (Venus in Aquarius, Saturn in Gemini and Pluto in Libra) make the triangle, so these come to her naturally.
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.
Venus trine Pluto almost exact at 0.7°
She loves with depth and loyalty, and the bonds she forms change both people.
The Sun square Pluto close at 1.0°
Nothing about her is halfway: she insists on running her own life, and the struggle makes her formidable.
Venus sextile Neptune close at 1.1°
A romantic with an artist’s eye: she sees the beauty in people and makes it visible to others.
Saturn trine Pluto close at 1.2°
Endurance: she can work through hard times, and what she builds survives pressure.
Mars sextile Saturn close at 1.6°
Her drive and her discipline work together easily: she can push hard and keep going.
Neptune sextile North Node close at 1.8°
Imagination helps her forward, through art, ideals and care for others.
