The chart, fact by fact
Planets

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 Sagittarius
The Explorer. Honest, free and far-seeing.

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 Leo
The direction her life grows in: Leo, warm and dramatic.
17°05′
Black Moon Lilith in Leo
In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.
27°07′
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.
Mars square Saturn almost exact at 0.4°
Drive with the brakes on: she wanted to move, something held her back, and the friction made her tough.
The Sun square Neptune almost exact at 0.4°
The self she knew and the image others saw drifted apart at times, and she worked to keep hold of the real one.
Neptune trine Pluto almost exact at 0.5°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Jupiter sextile North Node close at 1.5°
Hope helped her grow: faith in what was possible kept her moving forward.
Mercury opposition Uranus close at 1.7°
Her mind ran ahead of the conversation: she said the unexpected thing, and not everyone was ready to hear it.
Mars quincunx North Node close at 2.1°
She kept adjusting how hard she pushed to fit where her life was going.

Saturn sextile North Node close at 2.5°
Discipline helped her grow: patience and hard work kept her on course.
Jupiter trine Saturn wide at 4.0°
Hope and caution in balance: she dreamed big and planned carefully, and both helped.
The Sun sextile Saturn wide at 4.9°
Purpose and patience worked as a team: she built slowly and got better with every year.
Mars trine Neptune wide at 5.7°
She worked for ideals: her drive came alive for a cause, a role or a dream.
Saturn square Pluto wide at 5.8°
Heavy demands and hard limits: she faced a great deal of pressure and came out tougher for it.
Mars conjunction Pluto wide at 6.2°
Concentrated force: when she wanted something, she went after it with everything.
The Sun trine North Node wide at 7.4°
The direction her life took suited her: being herself and growing went hand in hand.
The Sun opposition Jupiter wide at 8.9°
She reached for more than one life could hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
Chart signature
What’s this?Close
The chart’s balance at a glance: which of the four elements and three modes it leans on, which body is most connected, and any body standing alone.

Modes
Standing alone: Venus. It makes no major aspect, so her heart went its own way, and she loved on her own terms.
