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 Libra
The Diplomat. Grace, fairness and balance.
20°11′
Moon in Virgo
The Moon moved from Leo into Virgo at 4:03 a.m. that day, local time: in Leo for a birth before then, in Virgo for one after.
4°24′
Mercury in Scorpio
The Investigator. Hears what was left out.
3°50′
Venus in Sagittarius
The Adventurer. Love as an adventure.
3°49′
Mars in Virgo
The Craftsperson. The craftsman’s drive.

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 Leo
The direction her life grows in: Leo, warm and dramatic.
9°08′
Chiron in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.
7°28′
Black Moon Lilith in Gemini
In Gemini, Lilith is the quick tongue that says out loud what the room only thinks.
10°29′
The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.
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.
Saturn quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.1°
Responsibility and growth needed steady balancing, and she learned which duties to keep.
The Moon trine Uranus almost exact at 0.5°
Her feelings liked freedom: she needed space in close ties and gave it back just as easily.
The Moon sextile Mercury almost exact at 0.6°
Feeling and thought spoke the same language: she could put a mood into words, and her words carried feeling.
The Moon square Venus almost exact at 0.6°
What comforted her and what she loved were different things, so her heart and her moods kept negotiating.
Mercury sextile Uranus close at 1.1°
A quick, original mind: ideas arrived in flashes, and she saw answers others missed.
Jupiter trine Saturn close at 1.6°
Hope and caution in balance: she dreamed big and planned carefully, and both helped.
