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 Libra
The Diplomat. Grace, fairness and balance.
26°27′
Moon in Virgo
The Moon moved from Leo into Virgo at 6:36 a.m. that day, local time: in Leo for a birth before then, in Virgo for one after.
3°00′
Mercury in Scorpio
The Investigator. Hears what was left out.
17°55′
Venus in Sagittarius
The Adventurer. Love as an adventure.
1°22′

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 Gemini
The direction her life grows in: Gemini, curious and quick-witted.
12°52′
Chiron in Libra
In Libra, Chiron is a soft spot around being chosen and kept, and a gift for making others feel met as equals.
27°02′
Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Lilith is a free mind that keeps only the beliefs it chose.
18°38′
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 mind, her drive and her optimism (Mercury, Mars and Jupiter) gather in Scorpio, 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 conjunction Mars almost exact at 0.2°
She thinks fast and speaks faster: her mind likes a contest, and her words have an edge.
Pluto sextile North Node almost exact at 0.4°
Deep change helps her forward: each time she starts over, she goes further.
Saturn sextile Neptune close at 1.0°
Practical dreams: she gives ideals a shape and works to make them real.
The Moon square Venus close at 1.6°
What comforts her and what she loves are different things, so her heart and her moods keep negotiating.
Jupiter square Saturn close at 2.7°
Growth and caution keep checking each other: she moves forward in bursts, then pauses to consolidate.
Neptune trine North Node wide at 3.8°
Imagination helps her forward, through art, ideals and care for others.

Saturn sextile North Node wide at 4.9°
Discipline helps her grow: patience and hard work keep her on course.
The Sun trine Uranus wide at 4.9°
Independence comes easily: she does things her own way, and people find it refreshing rather than rude.

Iron will and great patience: she builds slowly and for keeps.

Optimism at the centre of her: she expects things to go well, and that confidence wins people over.
