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 Aries
The Pioneer. First in, first to try.
4°22′
Moon in Leo
The Moon moved from Cancer into Leo at 6:03 a.m. that day, local time: in Cancer for a birth before then, in Leo for one after.
2°57′
Mercury in Pisces
The Poet. Knowing without explaining.
8°09′
Venus in Aquarius
The Kindred Spirit. Friend first, lover too.
20°16′
Mars in Aries
The Trailblazer. First through the door.

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 Aquarius
The direction her life grows in: Aquarius, independent and original.
18°27′
Chiron in Gemini
In Gemini, Chiron is an old fear of not being heard, which becomes a gift for finding the words others lack.
0°06′
Black Moon Lilith in Cancer
In Cancer, Lilith is a fierce need to belong, and no wish to look after anyone on command.
17°14′
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 drive and her independence (the Sun, Mars and Uranus) gather in Aries, and that part of life drew her attention first.
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 optimism (Jupiter in Libra) and her independence (Uranus in Aries) face each other across the wheel, and her intensity (Pluto in Cancer) 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.
Venus trine Jupiter almost exact at 0.2°
Affection came to her with generosity attached: her heart and her optimism helped each other.
The Sun trine the Moon close at 1.4°
Her purpose and her feelings were on the same side: the life she chose and the comfort she needed went together.
Saturn quincunx Pluto close at 1.4°
She kept adjusting between control and acceptance, and learned where each belonged.
Mars quincunx Neptune close at 1.6°
Her drive and her imagination spoke different languages: she went after something before she could say what it was.
Jupiter trine North Node close at 1.6°
Hope helped her grow: faith in what was possible kept her moving forward.
Venus conjunction North Node close at 1.8°
Following her heart was following her path: the people and pleasures she loved led her forward.
