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 Sagittarius
The Explorer. Honest, free and far-seeing.
0°43′
Moon in Aquarius
The Moon moved from Aquarius into Pisces at 11:33 p.m. that day, local time: in Aquarius for a birth before then, in Pisces for one after.
23°44′
Mercury in Sagittarius
The Philosopher. The big picture.
11°15′
Venus in Sagittarius
The Adventurer. Love as an adventure.
22°40′
Mars in Sagittarius
The Champion. The long shot.

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 Cancer
The direction her life grows in: Cancer, protective and caring.
11°57′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
10°14′
Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Lilith is an intensity and a private power that stay unexplained.
24°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, her heart and her drive (the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars) gather in Sagittarius, and that part of life draws 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.
Jupiter quincunx Uranus almost exact at 0.1°
Her hopes and her restlessness keep changing places, and she redraws her plans more than once.
Mercury quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.7°
Her habits of thought need small, steady changes to fit the way forward.
The Moon sextile Venus close at 1.1°
She puts people at ease without trying: kindness and charm come from the same place.
Mercury square Uranus close at 1.4°
Her mind runs ahead of the conversation: she says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.
Venus conjunction Mars close at 1.4°
Magnetic: affection and desire come together in her, and people notice.
Saturn square Neptune close at 1.4°
The dream and the hard work seldom agree on terms: her discipline and her imagination ask different things of her.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Mercury trine Jupiter close at 1.5°
A generous, wide-ranging mind: she learns easily, tells a good story and sees the big picture.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.9°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Uranus sextile North Node close at 2.1°
Change helps her forward: she grows by trying the new.
Pluto sextile North Node close at 2.1°
Deep change helps her forward: each time she starts over, she goes further.
Jupiter square North Node close at 2.2°
Easy hopes and the harder way forward go different ways, and real growth comes from the harder one.
Mercury square Pluto close at 2.8°
Her words have force: she speaks to persuade, and she keeps her own counsel until the right moment.
Mars sextile Saturn wide at 3.9°
Her drive and her discipline work together easily: she can push hard and keep going.
Neptune trine North Node wide at 4.0°
Imagination helps her forward, through art, ideals and care for others.
Uranus conjunction Pluto wide at 4.2°
Born into a time of upheaval: she wants radical change, and wants it at once.
