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 Taurus
The Gardener. Steady, sensual and sure.
12°58′
Moon in Libra
The Moon moved from Virgo into Libra at 4:03 a.m. that day, local time: in Virgo for a birth before then, in Libra for one after.

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 Capricorn
The direction her life grows in: Capricorn, ambitious and patient.
20°15′
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.
27°14′
Black Moon Lilith in Gemini
In Gemini, Lilith is the quick tongue that says out loud what the room only thinks.
26°47′
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 heart, her imagination and her intensity (Venus, Neptune and Pluto) gather in Gemini, 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 opposition Uranus almost exact at 0.2°
Love came in sudden starts and stops: she fell for people quickly and needed room just as quickly.
Neptune quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.6°
She grew by testing her ideals against real life, again and again.
Venus trine Jupiter almost exact at 0.9°
Affection came to her with generosity attached: her heart and her optimism helped each other.
The Moon opposition Mars close at 1.0°
Quick feelings and a quick temper: she reacted first, and her courage came from the same place as her flashes of anger.
Mercury quincunx Saturn close at 1.1°
Speaking freely and speaking carefully took constant balancing, and she weighed words before letting them go.
Jupiter sextile Uranus close at 1.1°
Sudden openings: she spotted new chances early and jumped at them.

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 water at all, so feelings came out in actions more than in words.
