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.
29°02′
Moon in Leo
The Moon moved from Leo into Virgo at 7:41 p.m. that day, local time: in Leo for a birth before then, in Virgo for one after.
25°44′
Mercury in Capricorn
The Planner. Foundations first.
14°54′
Venus in Capricorn
The Loyal Partner. Love built to last.
25°57′
Mars in Cancerretrograde
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 Gemini
The direction her life grows in: Gemini, curious and quick-witted.
29°42′
Chiron in Libra
In Libra, Chiron is a soft spot around being chosen and kept, and a gift for making others feel met as equals.
21°05′
Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Lilith is an intensity and a private power that stay unexplained.
18°17′
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 mind and her heart (the Sun, Mercury and Venus) gather in Capricorn, and that part of life drew her attention first.
T-square
Two planets pull against each other, and a third stands at right angles to both, where the strain gathers.
In her chart, her identity and her heart (the Sun and Venus, together in Capricorn) and her drive and her discipline (Mars and Saturn, together in Cancer) face each other across the wheel, and her optimism (Jupiter in Libra) took the strain: the part of her that worked hardest.
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.
Mars conjunction Saturn almost exact at 0.2°
Controlled force: she worked with patience and grit, and she finished what she started.
Venus square Jupiter almost exact at 0.6°
She loved too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures ran past what one life could use.
The Sun quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.7°
The way forward asked her to bend habits that felt like part of who she was.
Mercury quincunx Uranus close at 1.1°
Ordinary logic and sudden insight needed constant translating, and she spent time explaining how she got there.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 2.3°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
The Sun square Jupiter close at 2.5°
She reached for more than one life could hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.

Uranus sextile Pluto close at 2.9°
She could help change things at the root, and upheaval suited her.
The Sun conjunction Venus wide at 3.1°
Charm came naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things were close to her core.
Jupiter trine North Node wide at 3.1°
Hope helped her grow: faith in what was possible kept her moving forward.
Venus opposition Mars wide at 4.9°
In love she wanted tenderness and a chase at once, and her relationships were rarely calm.
Venus opposition Saturn wide at 5.1°
Love felt like something to be earned, and she held back until she was sure of it.
Uranus trine Neptune wide at 5.2°
Change and idealism went together: new ideas came wrapped in dreams of a better world.
Mars square Jupiter wide at 5.5°
She took on more than any one person could, and her boldness ran ahead of her plans.
Jupiter square Saturn wide at 5.8°
Growth and caution kept checking each other: she moved forward in bursts, then paused to consolidate.
Mercury opposition Saturn wide at 5.9°
She doubted her own ideas before anyone else could, and so she checked every one twice.
Mercury opposition Mars wide at 6.1°
Sharp words and a sharp mind: she argued well, sometimes too well, and a debate was a kind of sport to her.
The Sun opposition Mars wide at 8.0°
She fought hard for what she wanted, and her temper was part of her courage.
The Sun opposition Saturn wide at 8.2°
Self-belief came slowly and had to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counted.
