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 Pisces

    The Dreamer. Gentle, dreamy and deep.

    5°29′

  • Moon in Aquarius

    The Moon moved from Aquarius into Pisces at 6:06 p.m. that day, local time: in Aquarius for a birth before then, in Pisces for one after.

    26°10′

  • Mercury in Aquarius

    The Inventor. The original thinker.

    27°14′

  • Venus in Capricorn

    The Loyal Partner. Love built to last.

    21°31′

  • Mars in Sagittarius

    The Champion. The long shot.

    20°24′

Beyond the planetsNorth Node in Aquarius, 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 Aquarius

    The direction her life grows in: Aquarius, independent and original.

    23°39′

  • 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.

    7°51′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Virgo

    In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.

    19°19′

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

PatternsStellium
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 drive, her optimism and her imagination (Mars, Jupiter and Neptune) gather in Sagittarius, and that part of life draws her attention first.

Aspects by strength12 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.

  • The Sun square Jupiter almost exact at 0.1°

    She reaches for more than one life can hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.

  • The Moon conjunction Mercury close at 1.1°

    She thinks with her feelings: memory, mood and wit come together, and her words give away what she feels.

  • Mercury quincunx Pluto close at 1.8°

    What she knows and what she says need careful managing, and secrets sit uneasily with her.

  • Jupiter conjunction Neptune close at 2.3°

    A dreamer’s faith: she believes in something larger, and her compassion and her hopes go together.

  • The Sun square Neptune close at 2.4°

    The self she knows and the image others see drift apart at times, and she works to keep hold of the real one.

  • Mars sextile North Node wide at 3.2°

    Courage moves her forward, and each bold step takes her further along her path.

Show more aspectsShow fewer
  • Mercury conjunction North Node wide at 3.6°

    Ideas and talk set her course: she finds her direction by learning and talking things through.

  • Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 4.1°

    A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.

  • Venus trine Saturn wide at 4.5°

    Loyal in love: she chooses carefully, and what she builds with people lasts.

  • Mercury square Neptune wide at 5.8°

    Facts and dreams blur together in her mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details matter.

  • Saturn square North Node wide at 6.6°

    Duty and growth compete: what she owes others and where she needs to go call for hard choices.

  • The Sun conjunction Mercury wide at 8.3°

    Her mind and her identity are close together: she speaks as she thinks, and her ideas are part of who she is.
