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 Scorpio
The Detective. Intense, private and loyal.
16°12′
Moon in Cancer
The Moon moved from Cancer into Leo at 3:37 p.m. that day, local time: in Cancer for a birth before then, in Leo 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 Pisces
The direction her life grows in: Pisces, dreamy and compassionate.
2°32′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
14°28′
Black Moon Lilith in Taurus
In Taurus, Lilith is an appetite for pleasure that sees no need to apologise.
8°43′
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 and her drive (the Sun, Mercury and Mars) gather in Scorpio, 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.
Saturn conjunction Pluto almost exact at 0.2°
Iron will and great patience: she built slowly and for keeps.
The Moon trine Mars almost exact at 0.5°
Her feelings turned straight into action: when something mattered, she did something about it.
Pluto trine North Node almost exact at 0.6°
Deep change helped her forward: each time she started over, she went further.
Saturn trine North Node almost exact at 0.8°
Discipline helped her grow: patience and hard work kept her on course.
Venus sextile Jupiter close at 1.8°
Affection came to her with generosity attached: her heart and her optimism helped each other.
Mars trine Neptune close at 1.9°
She worked for ideals: her drive came alive for a cause, a role or a dream.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Neptune quincunx North Node close at 2.1°
She grew by testing her ideals against real life, again and again.
The Sun square Jupiter close at 2.2°
She reached for more than one life could hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
Mercury square Jupiter close at 2.3°
Big ideas and loose details: she thought on a large scale, and the small print was where things got away from her.
The Moon conjunction Neptune close at 2.4°
Feelings without edges: other people’s sorrow and joy reached her as if they were her own.
Mercury square Uranus wide at 3.8°
Her mind ran ahead of the conversation: she said the unexpected thing, and not everyone was ready to hear it.
Mars square North Node wide at 4.0°
Old fights and the way forward disagreed, and she grew by choosing which battles mattered.
Venus sextile Uranus wide at 4.3°
She loved the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all her own.
The Sun conjunction Mercury wide at 4.5°
Her mind and her identity were close together: she spoke as she thought, and her ideas were part of who she was.
Jupiter conjunction Uranus wide at 6.1°
An inventive optimism: she believed in the new, and she took leaps others would not.
Uranus opposition Neptune wide at 7.5°
The urge for change and the longing for ideals clashed, and she lived with both.
The Sun square Uranus wide at 8.3°
She needed room to be herself, and any rule that fit too tightly got broken.
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 earth at all, so the practical, settled side was the one she had to find.
