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 Leo
The Bright One. Warm, proud and generous.
9°45′
Moon in Aries
The Moon moved from Aries into Taurus at 8:48 p.m. that day, local time: in Aries for a birth before then, in Taurus for one after.
25°25′
Mercury in Leo
The Storyteller. A voice that carries.
9°29′
Venus in Cancer
The Nurturer. Love that makes a home.
12°33′
Mars in Virgo
The Craftsperson. The craftsman’s drive.
0°51′

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 Virgo
The direction her life grows in: Virgo, precise and helpful.
4°29′
Chiron in Leo
In Leo, Chiron is a quiet doubt about deserving the light, and a gift for helping others shine without apology.
17°30′
Black Moon Lilith in Gemini
In Gemini, Lilith is the quick tongue that says out loud what the room only thinks.
27°12′
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 intensity (the Sun, Mercury and Pluto) gather in Leo, 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.
The Sun conjunction Mercury almost exact at 0.3°
Her mind and her identity are close together: she speaks as she thinks, and her ideas are part of who she is.
The Sun sextile Saturn almost exact at 0.3°
Purpose and patience work as a team: she builds slowly and gets better with every year.
Uranus square North Node almost exact at 0.5°
The way forward asks for steadiness, and the urge for change keeps breaking in.
Venus conjunction Jupiter almost exact at 0.6°
A generous heart: love and good company come to her easily, and she shares both.
Mercury sextile Saturn almost exact at 0.6°
A patient, exact mind: she chooses every word, and her thinking gets sharper with practice.
Uranus sextile Pluto close at 1.5°
She can help change things at the root, and upheaval suits her.

Saturn square North Node wide at 5.6°
