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.

Beyond the planetsNorth Node in Gemini, 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 Gemini

    The direction her life grows in: Gemini, curious and quick-witted.

    4°04′

  • Chiron in Pisces

    In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.

    18°26′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius

    In Aquarius, Lilith is the outsider’s streak, at its best when it does not fit in.

    19°44′

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

PatternsT-square, T-square
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.

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 mind (Mercury in Sagittarius) and her optimism (Jupiter in Gemini) face each other across the wheel, and her independence (Uranus in Virgo) takes the strain: the part of her that works hardest.

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 mind (Mercury in Sagittarius) and her optimism (Jupiter in Gemini) face each other across the wheel, and her intensity (Pluto in Virgo) takes the strain: the part of her that works hardest.

Aspects by strength14 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.

  • Mercury square Uranus almost exact at 0.3°

    Her mind runs ahead of the conversation: she says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.

  • Mercury square Pluto almost exact at 0.9°

    Her words have force: she speaks to persuade, and she keeps her own counsel until the right moment.

  • The Sun square the Moon close at 1.0°

    The self she shows the world and the self she comes home to want different things, and she makes room for both.

  • Uranus conjunction Pluto close at 1.2°

    Born into a time of upheaval: she wants radical change, and wants it at once.

  • Uranus sextile Neptune close at 1.8°

    Change and idealism go together: new ideas come wrapped in dreams of a better world.

  • Mars trine North Node close at 2.2°

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

Show more aspectsShow fewer
  • Neptune sextile Pluto close at 3.0°

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

  • The Sun sextile Saturn wide at 3.1°

    Purpose and patience work as a team: she builds slowly and gets better with every year.

  • Jupiter square Uranus wide at 4.9°

    Restless hope: she wants more freedom than any situation gives, and big changes come suddenly.

  • Mercury opposition Jupiter wide at 5.2°

    Big ideas and loose details: she thinks on a large scale, and the small print is where things get away from her.

  • Saturn opposition Pluto wide at 6.1°

    Heavy demands and hard limits: she faces a great deal of pressure and comes out tougher for it.

  • Jupiter square Pluto wide at 6.1°

    She wants more power than comes easily, and the struggle for it shapes her life.

  • Venus conjunction Mars wide at 7.0°

    Magnetic: affection and desire come together in her, and people notice.

  • Saturn opposition Uranus wide at 7.2°

    Tradition and rebellion fight in her: she wants security and freedom, and can rarely have both at once.
