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 Aquarius
The Free Thinker. Original, free and humane.
7°17′
Moon in Virgo
The Moon moved from Virgo into Libra at 12:47 p.m. that day, local time: in Virgo for a birth before then, in Libra for one after.
29°33′
Mercury in Aquarius
The Inventor. The original thinker.
14°53′
Venus in Pisces
The Tender Heart. Love without limits.
23°33′
Mars in Pisces

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 Scorpio
The direction her life grows in: Scorpio, intense and private.
1°05′
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.
6°43′
Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.
21°48′
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 heart, her drive and her independence (Venus, Mars and Uranus) gather in Pisces, and that part of life drew her attention first.
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.
The Sun quincunx Pluto exact at 0.0°
She kept rebuilding herself to fit what life asked, and control was the hardest thing to give up.
Mars opposition Jupiter almost exact at 0.6°
She took on more than any one person could, and her boldness ran ahead of her plans.
Venus opposition Saturn almost exact at 0.8°
Love felt like something to be earned, and she held back until she was sure of it.
Mercury opposition Neptune close at 2.4°
Facts and dreams blurred together in her mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details mattered.
Uranus trine North Node close at 3.0°
Change helped her forward: she grew by trying the new.
Uranus trine Pluto wide at 3.2°
She could help change things at the root, and upheaval suited her.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
The Sun opposition Neptune wide at 5.2°
The self she knew and the image others saw drifted apart at times, and she worked to keep hold of the real one.
Venus opposition Jupiter wide at 5.5°
She loved too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures ran past what one life could use.
Venus conjunction Mars wide at 6.2°
Magnetic: affection and desire came together in her, and people noticed.
The Sun square North Node wide at 6.2°
Being herself and growing asked for different things, and her biggest steps forward came when she stretched past her habits.
Pluto trine North Node wide at 6.2°
Deep change helped her forward: each time she started over, she went further.
Jupiter conjunction Saturn wide at 6.3°
Optimism with a plan: her hopes were practical, and she built them slowly into something real.
Mars opposition Saturn wide at 7.0°
Drive with the brakes on: she wanted to move, something held her back, and the friction made her tough.
The Sun conjunction Mercury wide at 7.6°
Her mind and her identity were close together: she spoke as she thought, and her ideas were part of who she was.
