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 Leo
The direction her life grows in: Leo, warm and dramatic.
23°51′
Chiron in Leo
In Leo, Chiron is a quiet doubt about deserving the light, and a gift for helping others shine without apology.
23°14′
Black Moon Lilith in Cancer
In Cancer, Lilith is a fierce need to belong, and no wish to look after anyone on command.
24°36′
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 identity, her feelings and her mind (the Sun, the Moon and Mercury) gather in Aries, and that part of life draws 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.
Mercury square Jupiter almost exact at 0.2°
Big ideas and loose details: she thinks on a large scale, and the small print is where things get away from her.
The Moon sextile Mars almost exact at 0.2°
Her feelings turn straight into action: when something matters, she does something about it.
The Sun conjunction Mercury close at 1.1°
Her mind and her identity are close together: she speaks as she thinks, and her ideas are part of who she is.
The Sun square Jupiter close at 1.4°
She reaches for more than one life can hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
Venus sextile Jupiter close at 1.4°
Affection comes to her with generosity attached: her heart and her optimism help each other.
Uranus trine Neptune close at 1.6°
Change and idealism go together: new ideas come wrapped in dreams of a better world.

What feels comfortable in love and what helps her grow are different things, and she chooses between them more than once.
