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.
8°01′
Moon in Virgo
The Mender. Care in the details.
19°51′
Mercury in Leo
Mercury moved from Leo into Virgo at 12:24 p.m. that day, local time: in Leo for a birth before then, in Virgo for one after.
29°59′
Venus in Virgo
The Quiet Romantic. Love in small attentions.
7°03′
Mars in Libra
The Negotiator. A fighter for fairness.

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 Gemini
The direction her life grows in: Gemini, curious and quick-witted.
12°12′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
22°00′
Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Lilith is the outsider’s streak, at its best when it does not fit in.
2°40′
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.
Uranus square North Node almost exact at 0.7°
The way forward asks for steadiness, and the urge for change keeps breaking in.
Saturn trine Neptune almost exact at 0.9°
Practical dreams: she gives ideals a shape and works to make them real.
Mars quincunx Saturn close at 1.4°
When to push and when to wait takes constant judging, and she learns timing the hard way.
Saturn opposition Pluto close at 1.6°
Heavy demands and hard limits: she faces a great deal of pressure and comes out tougher for it.
Uranus conjunction Pluto close at 1.9°
Born into a time of upheaval: she wants radical change, and wants it at once.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 2.5°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.

Words with charm in them: she has an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people like listening to her.
