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 Aquarius
The Free Thinker. Original, free and humane.
13°08′
Moon in Gemini
The Moon moved from Taurus into Gemini at 11:03 a.m. that day, local time: in Taurus for a birth before then, in Gemini for one after.
0°33′
Mercury in Capricorn

The Adventurer. Love as an adventure.

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 Cancer
The direction her life grows in: Cancer, protective and caring.
29°37′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
8°47′
Black Moon Lilith in Libra
In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.
21°24′
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 identity and her discipline (the Sun and Saturn, together in Aquarius) and her drive (Mars in Leo) face each other across the wheel, and her imagination (Neptune in Scorpio) took the strain: the part of her that worked 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 quincunx Jupiter exact at 0.0°
Drive and hope kept going in slightly different directions, and she aimed again and again.
Jupiter trine Neptune exact at 0.0°
Faith and imagination together: she believed in people and ideals, and that belief was catching.
Mars square Neptune almost exact at 0.1°
Drive and dreams mixed uneasily: the goal was clear to her, and the way to it harder to see.
The Sun conjunction Saturn almost exact at 0.6°
Serious from early on: purpose and duty were one thing to her, and she treated her own life as work to be done well.
The Sun quincunx Pluto close at 1.6°
She kept rebuilding herself to fit what life asked, and control was the hardest thing to give up.
Saturn square Neptune close at 1.9°
The dream and the hard work seldom agreed on terms: her discipline and her imagination asked different things of her.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Mars opposition Saturn close at 1.9°
Drive with the brakes on: she wanted to move, something held her back, and the friction made her tough.
Saturn quincunx Pluto close at 2.2°
She kept adjusting between control and acceptance, and learned where each belonged.
The Sun square Neptune close at 2.5°
The self she knew and the image others saw drifted apart at times, and she worked to keep hold of the real one.
The Sun opposition Mars close at 2.5°
She fought hard for what she wanted, and her temper was part of her courage.
Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 4.1°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Jupiter opposition Pluto wide at 4.1°
She wanted more power than came easily, and the struggle for it shaped her life.
Uranus conjunction Pluto wide at 7.5°
Born into a time of upheaval: she wanted radical change, and wanted it at once.
