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 Scorpio
The Detective. Intense, private and loyal.
18°08′
Moon in Scorpio
The Moon moved from Scorpio into Sagittarius at 2:30 p.m. that day, local time: in Scorpio for a birth before then, in Sagittarius for one after.
28°30′
Mercury in Scorpio
The Investigator. Hears what was left out.
14°47′
Venus in Scorpio
Venus moved from Libra into Scorpio at 11:40 a.m. that day, local time: in Libra for a birth before then, in Scorpio for one after.

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 Pisces
The direction her life grows in: Pisces, dreamy and compassionate.
19°24′
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.
2°52′
Black Moon Lilith in Cancer
In Cancer, Lilith is a fierce need to belong, and no wish to look after anyone on command.
27°03′
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.
T-square
Two planets pull against each other, and a third stands at right angles to both, where the strain gathers.
In her chart, her heart (Venus in Scorpio) and her discipline (Saturn in Taurus) face each other across the wheel, and her drive (Mars in Aquarius) takes the strain: the part of her that works hardest.
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.
Mars square Saturn almost exact at 0.2°
Drive with the brakes on: she wants to move, something holds her back, and the friction makes her tough.
The Moon conjunction Neptune almost exact at 0.5°
Feelings without edges: other people’s sorrow and joy reach her as if they are her own.
The Sun trine North Node close at 1.3°
The direction her life takes suits her: being herself and growing go hand in hand.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.3°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Saturn quincunx Uranus close at 2.5°
When to keep the rules and when to break them takes constant deciding.
Mars trine Uranus close at 2.8°
Quick and inventive in action: she moves fast, breaks with habit and makes sudden changes work.

The Sun conjunction Mercury wide at 3.4°
Her mind and her identity are close together: she speaks as she thinks, and her ideas are part of who she is.
Venus square Mars wide at 4.2°
In love she wants tenderness and a chase at once, and her relationships are rarely calm.
Venus opposition Saturn wide at 4.4°
Love feels like something to be earned, and she holds back until she is sure of it.
Mercury trine North Node wide at 4.6°
Her way with words helps her find her direction, and the right ideas come at the right time.
Venus conjunction Jupiter wide at 6.8°
A generous heart: love and good company come to her easily, and she shares both.
Pluto opposition North Node wide at 7.3°
Old attachments hold her back from the way forward, and she grows by letting some things go.
Chart signature
What’s this?Close
The chart’s balance at a glance: which of the four elements and three modes it leans on, which body is most connected, and any body standing alone.
Elements
Modes
The Moon changed sign that day; it is counted where it stood at noon.
No fire at all, so the bold first move comes by choice rather than by instinct.
