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 Cancer
The Protector. Home, memory and care.
6°22′
Moon in Pisces
The Tide. Tender, and stronger than it looks.
16°08′
Mercury in Leo
Mercury moved from Cancer into Leo at 11:27 a.m. that day, local time: in Cancer for a birth before then, in Leo for one after.
0°02′

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 Capricorn
The direction her life grows in: Capricorn, ambitious and patient.
6°26′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
16°18′
Black Moon Lilith in Gemini
In Gemini, Lilith is the quick tongue that says out loud what the room only thinks.
20°33′
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.
The Sun opposition North Node almost exact at 0.1°
Being herself and growing asked for different things, and her biggest steps forward came when she stretched past her habits.
The Sun sextile Uranus almost exact at 0.6°
Independence came easily: she did things her own way, and people found it refreshing rather than rude.
Uranus trine North Node almost exact at 0.6°
Change helped her forward: she grew by trying the new.
Mars trine Jupiter close at 1.2°
Big drive and big confidence: she went after large goals, and her enthusiasm carried others along.
Mars square Neptune close at 2.0°
Drive and dreams mixed uneasily: the goal was clear to her, and the way to it harder to see.
Mercury sextile Pluto close at 2.3°
A probing mind: she got to the bottom of things, and her words had power when she chose to use them.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Mercury square Saturn close at 2.7°
She doubted her own ideas before anyone else could, and so she checked every one twice.
Venus sextile Uranus wide at 3.9°
She loved the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all her own.
The Sun conjunction Venus wide at 4.5°
Charm came naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things were close to her core.
Venus opposition North Node wide at 4.5°
What felt comfortable in love and what helped her grow were different things, and she chose between them more than once.

No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through took deliberate effort.
