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 Sagittarius
The Explorer. Honest, free and far-seeing.
26°31′
Moon in Gemini
The Moon moved from Taurus into Gemini at 3:03 a.m. that day, local time: in Taurus for a birth before then, in Gemini for one after.
4°27′
Mercury in Sagittarius
The Philosopher. The big picture.
28°28′
Venus in Capricorn
The Loyal Partner. Love built to last.
20°51′

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.
8°49′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
18°17′
Black Moon Lilith in Gemini
In Gemini, Lilith is the quick tongue that says out loud what the room only thinks.
24°03′
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.
Venus sextile Jupiter almost exact at 0.2°
Affection came to her with generosity attached: her heart and her optimism helped each other.
Mercury trine Mars almost exact at 0.4°
A quick, direct mind: she made decisions fast and said what she meant.
Saturn quincunx Uranus close at 1.2°
When to keep the rules and when to break them took constant deciding.
The Sun conjunction Mercury close at 1.9°
Her mind and her identity were close together: she spoke as she thought, and her ideas were part of who she was.
The Sun trine Mars close at 2.4°
Her purpose and her drive worked together: once she decided on something, she moved on it fast.
Mars sextile Pluto wide at 3.5°
Stamina and willpower: she kept going long after others stopped, and she did her best work under pressure.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Mercury opposition Pluto wide at 3.9°
Her words had force: she spoke to persuade, and she kept her own counsel until the right moment.
Uranus conjunction North Node wide at 4.3°
An unusual path: her direction in life came through sudden turns and fresh starts.
The Sun opposition Pluto wide at 5.9°
Nothing about her was halfway: she insisted on running her own life, and the struggle made her formidable.
The Sun square Jupiter wide at 5.9°
She reached for more than one life could hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
Jupiter trine Saturn wide at 6.3°
Hope and caution in balance: she dreamed big and planned carefully, and both helped.
Venus opposition Saturn wide at 6.5°
Love felt like something to be earned, and she held back until she was sure of it.
Neptune opposition North Node wide at 6.7°
Dreams and the way forward clashed, and growing meant trading some illusions for clear sight.
