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.

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.
11°15′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
10°43′
Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Lilith is an intensity and a private power that stay unexplained.
27°39′
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.
Jupiter quincunx Uranus almost exact at 0.1°
Her hopes and her restlessness keep changing places, and she redraws her plans more than once.
Mars trine Pluto almost exact at 0.2°
Stamina and willpower: she keeps going long after others stop, and she does her best work under pressure.
The Moon sextile Venus almost exact at 0.2°
She puts people at ease without trying: kindness and charm come from the same place.
The Sun square the Moon close at 1.0°
The self she shows the world and the self she comes home to want different things, and she makes room for both.
Jupiter square North Node close at 1.1°
Easy hopes and the harder way forward go different ways, and real growth comes from the harder one.
Uranus sextile North Node close at 1.2°
Change helps her forward: she grows by trying the new.
