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 Aries
The Pioneer. First in, first to try.
13°09′
Moon in Gemini
The Moon moved from Gemini into Cancer at 10:47 p.m. that day, local time: in Gemini for a birth before then, in Cancer for one after.
24°02′
Mercury in Pisces
The Poet. Knowing without explaining.
23°42′
Venus in Aries
The Chaser. Love at first sight.
26°21′
Mars in Sagittarius

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 Libra
The direction her life grows in: Libra, graceful and fair.
8°44′
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.
13°23′
Black Moon Lilith in Pisces
In Pisces, Lilith is a dreamer who wants no rescuing, with a private world all its own.
9°57′
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.
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 identity, her drive and her imagination (the Sun in Aries, Mars in Sagittarius and Neptune in Leo) make the triangle, so these came to her naturally.
Yod
Two planets in easy contact both point awkwardly at a third, which becomes the focus: a talent that takes constant adjusting.
In her chart, her optimism (Jupiter in Libra) and her imagination (Neptune in Leo) both point at her independence (Uranus in Pisces), the part of her that kept needing adjustment and gave her life its focus.
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 trine Neptune almost exact at 0.1°
Imagination and identity worked together: she could become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
The Moon square Mercury almost exact at 0.3°
Her head and her feelings argued: she knew what she thought before she knew what she felt, or the other way round.
Pluto square North Node almost exact at 0.8°
Old attachments held her back from the way forward, and she grew by letting some things go.
Jupiter sextile Neptune almost exact at 0.8°
Faith and imagination together: she believed in people and ideals, and that belief was catching.
The Sun opposition Jupiter close at 1.0°
She reached for more than one life could hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
Uranus quincunx Neptune close at 1.8°
Sudden change and slow dreams kept adjusting to each other.

Mercury square Mars wide at 4.7°

She wanted more power than came easily, and the struggle for it shaped her life.

The Moon changed sign that day; it is counted where it stood at noon.
No earth at all, so the practical, settled side was the one she had to find.
