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 Gemini
The Messenger. Curious and many-sided.
26°25′
Moon in Cancer
The Nest-Maker. Home is the heart.
20°50′

The Remembering Mind. A memory for tone.

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 Scorpio
The direction her life grows in: Scorpio, intense and private.
22°11′
Chiron in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Chiron is the feeling of having grown up too soon, and a gift for showing others how to stand on their own.
2°53′
Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Lilith is an intensity and a private power that stay unexplained.
3°53′
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 imagination and her intensity (the Sun, Neptune and Pluto) gather in Gemini, and that part of life drew her attention first.
Stellium
Three or more planets gathered in one sign or one house, so that part of the chart speaks loudest.
In her chart, her feelings, her mind and her heart (the Moon, Mercury and Venus) gather in Cancer, 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 independence (Uranus in Sagittarius) and her intensity (Pluto in Gemini) face each other across the wheel, and her drive (Mars in Virgo) 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.
The Moon conjunction Mercury almost exact at 0.1°
She thought with her feelings: memory, mood and wit came together, and her words gave away what she felt.
Venus opposition Jupiter almost exact at 0.3°
She loved too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures ran past what one life could use.
Mars square Pluto close at 1.0°
A fierce will: she met opposition head on, and a fight brought out her full strength.
Mercury trine North Node close at 1.3°
Her way with words helped her find her direction, and the right ideas came at the right time.
The Moon trine North Node close at 1.4°
What comforted her also moved her forward: her instincts pointed the right way.
Mars square Uranus close at 1.9°
Restless and quick to rebel: she pushed against limits, and sudden decisions came with the territory.

Mars trine Saturn close at 2.0°

The Sun conjunction Neptune close at 2.4°
She took in moods, music and other people’s hopes, and gave them back as something new.
Uranus opposition Pluto close at 3.0°
Upheaval and the urge to break free ran strong, and she pushed for change rather than waiting for it.
The Sun quincunx North Node wide at 4.2°
The way forward asked her to bend habits that felt like part of who she was.
Mercury sextile Mars wide at 4.6°
A quick, direct mind: she made decisions fast and said what she meant.
Jupiter conjunction Saturn wide at 4.6°
Optimism with a plan: her hopes were practical, and she built them slowly into something real.
Venus opposition Saturn wide at 5.0°
Love felt like something to be earned, and she held back until she was sure of it.
Mercury opposition Saturn wide at 6.6°
She doubted her own ideas before anyone else could, and so she checked every one twice.
Mars trine Jupiter wide at 6.6°
Big drive and big confidence: she went after large goals, and her enthusiasm carried others along.
The Sun conjunction Pluto wide at 9.0°
Intensity at the centre: she wanted the whole truth about everything, herself first, and she remade herself more than once to reach it.
