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 Virgo
The Fixer. Precise, useful and kind.
13°12′
Moon in Aries
The Moon moved from Pisces into Aries at 9:44 a.m. that day, local time: in Pisces for a birth before then, in Aries for one after.
1°26′
Mercury in Leo
The Storyteller. A voice that carries.
27°28′
Venus in Virgo
The Quiet Romantic. Love in small attentions.
15°50′
Mars in Aquariusretrograde
The Rebel. Rebel with a cause.
11°57′

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.
14°19′
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.
12°49′
Black Moon Lilith in Libra
In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.
10°53′
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 heart and her intensity (the Sun, Venus and Pluto) gather in Virgo, and that part of life drew 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 drive, her discipline and her independence (Mars in Aquarius, Saturn in Gemini and Uranus in Libra) make the triangle, so these came 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.
Mars trine Uranus almost exact at 0.1°
Quick and inventive in action: she moved fast, broke with habit and made sudden changes work.
Jupiter sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.4°
Ambition with depth: she knew how to build influence, and she used it to make big changes.
The Moon trine Neptune close at 1.0°
She picked up what others felt before a word was said, and her compassion reached far.
The Sun quincunx North Node close at 1.1°
The way forward asked her to bend habits that felt like part of who she was.
Jupiter conjunction Neptune close at 1.1°
A dreamer’s faith: she believed in something larger, and her compassion and her hopes went together.
The Sun quincunx Mars close at 1.2°
Aim and action ran at different speeds, and she spent real effort keeping them in step.

Venus quincunx North Node close at 1.5°
She kept adjusting what she wanted from people to fit the life she was growing into.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.6°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Mercury square Jupiter close at 1.9°

Uranus trine North Node close at 2.3°
Change helped her forward: she grew by trying the new.
Mars conjunction North Node close at 2.4°
Driven towards her path: she went after the life she wanted with real force.
The Sun conjunction Venus close at 2.6°
Charm came naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things were close to her core.
Mercury square Neptune close at 3.0°
Facts and dreams blurred together in her mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details mattered.
Mars trine Saturn wide at 5.6°
Her drive and her discipline worked together easily: she could push hard and keep going.
Saturn trine Uranus wide at 5.7°
Old and new sat well together: she could change things without throwing out what worked.
Saturn opposition Neptune wide at 5.9°
The dream and the hard work seldom agreed on terms: her discipline and her imagination asked different things of her.
The Sun square Saturn wide at 6.8°
Self-belief came slowly and had to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counted.
Jupiter opposition Saturn wide at 7.0°
Growth and caution kept checking each other: she moved forward in bursts, then paused to consolidate.
