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 Cancer
The Protector. Home, memory and care.
17°49′
Moon in Virgo
The Moon moved from Virgo into Libra at 2:28 p.m. that day, local time: in Virgo for a birth before then, in Libra for one after.
28°34′

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 Libra
The direction her life grows in: Libra, graceful and fair.
23°05′
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.
13°57′
Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Lilith is the outsider’s streak, at its best when it does not fit in.
10°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.
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 intensity (the Sun, Mercury, Mars and Pluto) gather in Cancer, and that part of life drew 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.
Mars sextile Jupiter almost exact at 0.2°
Big drive and big confidence: she went after large goals, and her enthusiasm carried others along.
Mercury conjunction Mars almost exact at 0.5°
She thought fast and spoke faster: her mind liked a contest, and her words had an edge.
Mercury sextile Jupiter almost exact at 0.7°
A generous, wide-ranging mind: she learned easily, told a good story and saw the big picture.
Uranus trine Pluto almost exact at 0.7°
She could help change things at the root, and upheaval suited her.
The Sun sextile Saturn close at 2.2°
Purpose and patience worked as a team: she built slowly and got better with every year.
The Sun sextile Jupiter wide at 3.1°
Her confidence came easily and spread: she thought big, and other people wanted to come along.

The Sun conjunction Pluto wide at 9.2°
Intensity at the centre: she wanted the whole truth about everything, herself first, and she remade herself more than once to reach it.
