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 Aries, 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 Aries

    The direction her life grows in: Aries, bold and direct.

    7°53′

  • Chiron in Sagittarius

    In Sagittarius, Chiron is a restless question about what it all means, and a gift for lending others a wider view.

    20°45′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Taurus

    In Taurus, Lilith is an appetite for pleasure that sees no need to apologise.

    4°59′

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

PatternsStellium, Grand trine, Grand trine
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 mind, her heart and her optimism (Mercury, Venus and Jupiter) gather in Aquarius, and that part of life draws her attention first.

Grand trine

Three planets in an easy triangle, each in flowing contact with the other two: a gift that comes without effort.

In her chart, her feelings, her mind and her imagination (the Moon in Gemini, Mercury in Aquarius and Neptune in Libra) make the triangle, so these come to her naturally.

Grand trine

Three planets in an easy triangle, each in flowing contact with the other two: a gift that comes without effort.

In her chart, her feelings, her optimism and her imagination (the Moon in Gemini, Jupiter in Aquarius and Neptune in Libra) make the triangle, so these come to her naturally.

Aspects by strength21 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.

  • The Moon trine Neptune almost exact at 0.1°

    She picks up what others feel before a word is said, and her compassion reaches far.

  • The Moon square Saturn almost exact at 0.3°

    Feelings come second to duty: she holds herself to a high standard, even in private.

  • Neptune sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.4°

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

  • The Moon sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.5°

    Her feelings run deep and hold steady: she comes through hard times with more strength than she goes in with.

  • Mercury opposition Pluto close at 1.8°

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

  • Mars opposition North Node close at 1.9°

    Old fights and the way forward disagree, and she grows by choosing which battles matter.

  • Mercury quincunx Saturn close at 2.0°

    Speaking freely and speaking carefully take constant balancing, and she weighs words before letting them go.

    She thinks in pictures and music: her words carry a mood, and her imagination gives her ideas colour.

    Feeling and thought speak the same language: she can put a mood into words, and her words carry feeling.

    Good-hearted and generous: she feels looked after by life, and she passes that on.
