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.
26°36′
Moon in Cancer
The Moon moved from Cancer into Leo at 11:32 p.m. that day, local time: in Cancer for a birth before then, in Leo for one after.
23°59′
Mercury in Capricorn
The Planner. Foundations first.
19°38′
Venus in Aquarius
The Kindred Spirit. Friend first, lover too.
10°18′
Mars in Taurus
The Stayer. Slow to start, impossible to stop.

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.
7°12′
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.
27°34′
Black Moon Lilith in Virgo
In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.
24°45′
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.
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 identity (the Sun in Capricorn) and her independence (Uranus in Pisces) both point at her imagination (Neptune in Leo), 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.
Uranus quincunx Neptune almost exact at 0.1°
Sudden change and slow dreams kept adjusting to each other.
The Sun quincunx Neptune almost exact at 0.2°
She kept redrawing the line between the life she had and the life she imagined.
The Sun sextile Uranus almost exact at 0.3°
Independence came easily: she did things her own way, and people found it refreshing rather than rude.
Mars sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.9°
Stamina and willpower: she kept going long after others stopped, and she did her best work under pressure.
The Moon trine Uranus close at 2.3°
Her feelings liked freedom: she needed space in close ties and gave it back just as easily.
Saturn quincunx North Node close at 2.3°
Responsibility and growth needed steady balancing, and she learned which duties to keep.
