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 Scorpio
The Detective. Intense, private and loyal.
29°24′
Moon in Aquarius
The Moon moved from Capricorn into Aquarius at 7:47 a.m. that day, local time: in Capricorn for a birth before then, in Aquarius for one after.
2°31′
Mercury in Sagittarius
The Philosopher. The big picture.
16°50′
Venus in Sagittarius
The Adventurer. Love as an adventure.
10°24′
Mars in Leo
The Leader. Courage with an audience.

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 Aries
The direction her life grows in: Aries, bold and direct.
9°56′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
24°45′
Black Moon Lilith in Leo
In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.
14°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, her independence and her imagination (Mercury, Venus, Uranus and Neptune) gather in Sagittarius, 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.
Venus trine North Node almost exact at 0.5°
Love and friendship moved her forward: the people she cared for helped her find her way.
Venus sextile Jupiter almost exact at 0.7°
Affection came to her with generosity attached: her heart and her optimism helped each other.
Saturn square Uranus almost exact at 0.8°
Tradition and rebellion fought in her: she wanted security and freedom, and could rarely have both at once.
Jupiter sextile North Node close at 1.2°
Hope helped her grow: faith in what was possible kept her moving forward.
Saturn conjunction Pluto close at 1.6°
Iron will and great patience: she built slowly and for keeps.
The Moon opposition Mars close at 1.8°
Quick feelings and a quick temper: she reacted first, and her courage came from the same place as her flashes of anger.

Uranus square Pluto close at 2.3°
Upheaval and the urge to break free ran strong, and she pushed for change rather than waiting for it.
Saturn square Neptune wide at 3.4°
The dream and the hard work seldom agreed on terms: her discipline and her imagination asked different things of her.

A quiet strength: under pressure she grew more focused, and she knew how to start over.
Uranus conjunction Neptune wide at 4.1°
Visionary: the new and the ideal met in her imagination.
The Sun trine Mars wide at 4.9°
Her purpose and her drive worked together: once she decided on something, she moved on it fast.

Purpose and patience worked as a team: she built slowly and got better with every year.
Mars trine North Node wide at 5.7°
Courage moved her forward, and each bold step took her further along her path.
Venus trine Mars wide at 6.1°

She thought in leaps: brilliant, contrary and quick to get bored with the obvious.
Mercury conjunction Venus wide at 6.4°
Words with charm in them: she had an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people liked listening to her.
Mars opposition Jupiter wide at 6.8°
She took on more than any one person could, and her boldness ran ahead of her plans.
Chart signature
What’s this?Close
The chart’s balance at a glance: which of the four elements and three modes it leans on, which body is most connected, and any body standing alone.
Elements
Modes
The Moon changed sign that day; it is counted where it stood at noon.
No earth at all, so the practical, settled side was the one she had to find.
