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.
28°15′
Moon in Aquarius
The Cool Head. Cool head, warm heart.
22°41′
Mercury in Piscesretrograde
The Poet. Knowing without explaining.
9°33′

The Kindred Spirit. Friend first, lover too.

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 Gemini
The direction her life grows in: Gemini, curious and quick-witted.
5°05′
Chiron in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Chiron is a wariness about trust that runs deep, and the strength to stay close when others are at their lowest.
8°02′
Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.
5°18′
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 and her drive (the Sun, Mercury and Mars) gather in Pisces, and that part of life draws her attention first.
Grand trine
Three planets in an easy triangle, each in flowing contact with the other two: a gift that comes without effort.
In her chart, her identity, her optimism and her discipline (the Sun in Pisces, Jupiter in Scorpio and Saturn in Leo) make the triangle, so these come to her naturally.
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 imagination (Neptune in Libra) and her intensity (Pluto in Leo) both point at her mind (Mercury in Pisces), the part of her that keeps needing adjustment and gives her life its focus.

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.
Mercury quincunx Neptune almost exact at 0.2°
Meaning comes to her before the words do, and clear speech follows the feeling.
Mars quincunx Pluto almost exact at 0.6°
Force and restraint keep trading places, and she learns when to let go.
The Sun trine Jupiter almost exact at 0.7°
Her confidence comes easily and spreads: she thinks big, and other people want to come along.
Venus trine Uranus close at 1.2°
She loves the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all her own.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.5°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Mercury quincunx Pluto close at 1.7°
What she knows and what she says need careful managing, and secrets sit uneasily with her.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Mars quincunx Neptune close at 2.1°
Her drive and her imagination speak different languages: she goes after something before she can say what it is.
Mercury conjunction Mars close at 2.3°
She thinks fast and speaks faster: her mind likes a contest, and her words have an edge.
Saturn sextile North Node close at 2.9°
Discipline helps her grow: patience and hard work keep her on course.
The Sun trine Saturn wide at 3.9°
Purpose and patience work as a team: she builds slowly and gets better with every year.
Mercury square North Node wide at 4.5°
Old ideas and the way forward are at odds, and she learns new ways of thinking to move on.
Jupiter trine Saturn wide at 4.6°
Hope and caution in balance: she dreams big and plans carefully, and both help.
Neptune trine North Node wide at 4.7°
Imagination helps her forward, through art, ideals and care for others.
Venus opposition Pluto wide at 5.5°
Love comes with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where she stands.
Mars square Uranus wide at 6.2°
Restless and quick to rebel: she pushes against limits, and sudden decisions come with the territory.
Jupiter opposition North Node wide at 7.6°
Easy hopes and the harder way forward go different ways, and real growth comes from the harder one.
