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 Aries
The Pioneer. First in, first to try.
12°09′
Moon in Virgo
The Moon moved from Leo into Virgo at 2:31 a.m. that day, local time: in Leo for a birth before then, in Virgo for one after.
5°31′
Mercury in Pisces
The Poet. Knowing without explaining.
14°34′
Venus in Pisces
The Tender Heart. Love without limits.
3°20′
Mars in Pisces
The Gentle Warrior. Strength that flows round.

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.
3°53′
Chiron in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Chiron is a wariness about trust that runs deep, and the strength to stay close when others are at their lowest.
7°15′
Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.
6°52′
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 heart and her drive (Mercury, Venus and Mars) gather in Pisces, 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.
Venus square North Node almost exact at 0.5°
What feels comfortable in love and what helps her grow are different things, and she chooses between them more than once.
The Sun trine Pluto close at 1.1°
A quiet strength: under pressure she grows more focused, and she knows how to start over.
Venus quincunx Saturn close at 1.4°
She keeps weighing pleasure against duty, and joy comes once the work is done.
The Moon square North Node close at 1.6°
Home comforts and the way forward ask for different things, and growing means leaving some familiar things behind.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.7°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Saturn sextile North Node close at 1.9°
Discipline helps her grow: patience and hard work keep her on course.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
The Moon opposition Venus close at 2.2°
What comforts her and what she loves are different things, so her heart and her moods keep negotiating.
The Sun opposition Neptune close at 2.8°
The self she knows and the image others see drift apart at times, and she works to keep hold of the real one.
Mercury square Uranus wide at 3.8°
Her mind runs ahead of the conversation: she says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.
Mars trine Jupiter wide at 4.2°
Big drive and big confidence: she goes after large goals, and her enthusiasm carries others along.
Mars square Uranus wide at 4.5°
Restless and quick to rebel: she pushes against limits, and sudden decisions come with the territory.
Jupiter trine Saturn wide at 5.0°
Hope and caution in balance: she dreams big and plans carefully, and both help.
Neptune trine North Node wide at 5.5°
Imagination helps her forward, through art, ideals and care for others.
The Sun sextile Uranus wide at 6.2°
Independence comes easily: she does things her own way, and people find it refreshing rather than rude.
Venus square Jupiter wide at 6.3°
She loves too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures run past what one life can use.
Jupiter opposition North Node wide at 6.9°
Easy hopes and the harder way forward go different ways, and real growth comes from the harder one.
