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 Taurus
The Gardener. Steady, sensual and sure.
25°16′
Moon in Pisces
The Tide. Tender, and stronger than it looks.
23°52′

The Careful Thinker. Slow to decide, sure once decided.

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 Sagittarius
The direction her life grows in: Sagittarius, free and far-ranging.
12°19′
Chiron in Leo
In Leo, Chiron is a quiet doubt about deserving the light, and a gift for helping others shine without apology.
17°56′
Black Moon Lilith in Pisces
In Pisces, Lilith is a dreamer who wants no rescuing, with a private world all its own.
23°39′
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.
T-square
Two planets pull against each other, and a third stands at right angles to both, where the strain gathers.
In her chart, her identity and her mind (the Sun and Mercury, together in Taurus) and her intensity (Pluto in Scorpio) face each other across the wheel, and her discipline (Saturn in Aquarius) takes the strain: the part of her that works hardest.
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 exact at 0.0°
Her mind and her identity are close together: she speaks as she thinks, and her ideas are part of who she is.
The Moon trine Pluto almost exact at 0.2°
Her feelings run deep and hold steady: she comes through hard times with more strength than she goes in with.
Venus trine North Node almost exact at 0.3°
Love and friendship move her forward: the people she cares for help her find her way.
Uranus conjunction Neptune close at 1.0°
Visionary: the new and the ideal meet in her imagination.
The Sun opposition Pluto close at 1.1°
Nothing about her is halfway: she insists on running her own life, and the struggle makes her formidable.
Mercury opposition Pluto close at 1.2°
Her words have force: she speaks to persuade, and she keeps her own counsel until the right moment.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
The Sun sextile the Moon close at 1.4°
Her purpose and her feelings are on the same side: the life she chooses and the comfort she needs go together.
The Moon sextile Mercury close at 1.4°
Feeling and thought speak the same language: she can put a mood into words, and her words carry feeling.
Uranus sextile Pluto close at 2.1°
She can help change things at the root, and upheaval suits her.
Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 3.1°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
The Sun trine Uranus wide at 3.2°
Independence comes easily: she does things her own way, and people find it refreshing rather than rude.
Mercury trine Uranus wide at 3.2°
A quick, original mind: ideas arrive in flashes, and she sees answers others miss.
Mars trine North Node wide at 3.3°
Courage moves her forward, and each bold step takes her further along her path.
Venus trine Mars wide at 3.6°
Charm and desire work together: she knows what she wants in love and how to win it.
Mars sextile Jupiter wide at 3.9°
Big drive and big confidence: she goes after large goals, and her enthusiasm carries others along.
The Sun trine Neptune wide at 4.2°
Imagination and identity work together: she can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
Mercury trine Neptune wide at 4.3°
She thinks in pictures and music: her words carry a mood, and her imagination gives her ideas colour.
Mercury square Saturn wide at 4.5°
She doubts her own ideas before anyone else can, and so she checks every one twice.
The Sun square Saturn wide at 4.5°
Self-belief comes slowly and has to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counts.
Saturn square Pluto wide at 5.7°
Heavy demands and hard limits: she faces a great deal of pressure and comes out tougher for it.
Venus opposition Jupiter wide at 7.5°
She loves too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures run past what one life can use.
