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.

Beyond the planetsNorth Node in Virgo, Chiron and Lilith
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 Virgo

    The direction her life grows in: Virgo, precise and helpful.

    12°09′

  • 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.

    21°03′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Taurus

    In Taurus, Lilith is an appetite for pleasure that sees no need to apologise.

    2°59′

The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.

PatternsStellium, Yod
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 mind, her drive and her imagination (the Sun, Mercury, Mars and Neptune) gather in Leo, and that part of life drew her attention first.

Yod

Two planets in easy contact both point awkwardly at a third, which becomes the focus: a talent that takes constant adjusting.

In her chart, her discipline (Saturn in Libra) and her imagination (Neptune in Leo) both point at her independence (Uranus in Pisces), the part of her that kept needing adjustment and gave her life its focus.

Aspects by strength17 between the planets, the closest first
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.

  • Uranus quincunx Neptune almost exact at 0.1°

    Sudden change and slow dreams kept adjusting to each other.

  • Mercury conjunction Mars almost exact at 0.8°

    She thought fast and spoke faster: her mind liked a contest, and her words had an edge.

  • Pluto sextile North Node almost exact at 0.9°

    Deep change helped her forward: each time she started over, she went further.

  • Jupiter trine Pluto close at 1.7°

    Ambition with depth: she knew how to build influence, and she used it to make big changes.

  • Venus trine Uranus close at 1.8°

    She loved the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all her own.

  • Saturn quincunx Uranus close at 2.6°

    When to keep the rules and when to break them took constant deciding.
