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.
23°38′
Moon in Pisces
The Tide. Tender, and stronger than it looks.
6°43′
Mercury in Capricorn
The Planner. Foundations first.
21°22′
Venus in Aquarius
The Kindred Spirit. Friend first, lover too.
9°38′

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 Taurus
The direction her life grows in: Taurus, steady and sensual.
13°13′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
22°29′
Black Moon Lilith in Aries
In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.
2°10′
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.
Grand trine
Three planets in an easy triangle, each in flowing contact with the other two: a gift that comes without effort.
In her chart, her optimism, her discipline and her imagination (Jupiter in Leo, Saturn in Pisces and Neptune in Scorpio) make the triangle, so these come to her naturally.
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.
The Sun sextile Neptune almost exact at 0.2°
Imagination and identity work together: she can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
Uranus sextile Neptune almost exact at 0.4°
Change and idealism go together: new ideas come wrapped in dreams of a better world.
Saturn opposition Uranus almost exact at 0.6°
Tradition and rebellion fight in her: she wants security and freedom, and can rarely have both at once.
The Sun trine Uranus almost exact at 0.7°
Independence comes easily: she does things her own way, and people find it refreshing rather than rude.
Mercury trine Pluto almost exact at 0.8°
A probing mind: she gets to the bottom of things, and her words have power when she chooses to use them.
Saturn trine Neptune close at 1.1°
Practical dreams: she gives ideals a shape and works to make them real.

Mercury square Mars close at 1.2°

The Sun sextile Saturn close at 1.3°

The Sun conjunction Mercury close at 2.3°
Her mind and her identity are close together: she speaks as she thinks, and her ideas are part of who she is.
Mercury sextile Neptune close at 2.5°

Mercury trine Uranus close at 3.0°

A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
The Sun square Mars wide at 3.5°

The Sun opposition Jupiter wide at 6.6°
She reaches for more than one life can hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
