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 Aries
The Pioneer. First in, first to try.
17°04′
Moon in Taurus
The Moon moved from Aries into Taurus at 8:53 a.m. that day, local time: in Aries for a birth before then, in Taurus for one after.
1°38′
Mercury in Taurus
The Careful Thinker. Slow to decide, sure once decided.
5°52′
Venus in Taurus
The Keeper. Slow, sensual and loyal.
20°53′
Mars in Aries
The Trailblazer. First through the door.

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 Pisces
The direction her life grows in: Pisces, dreamy and compassionate.
18°50′
Chiron in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Chiron is the feeling of having grown up too soon, and a gift for showing others how to stand on their own.
2°47′
Black Moon Lilith in Gemini
In Gemini, Lilith is the quick tongue that says out loud what the room only thinks.
20°17′
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.
Mercury sextile Uranus almost exact at 0.2°
A quick, original mind: ideas arrive in flashes, and she sees answers others miss.
Mars quincunx Saturn almost exact at 0.4°
When to push and when to wait takes constant judging, and she learns timing the hard way.
The Sun trine Pluto almost exact at 0.5°
A quiet strength: under pressure she grows more focused, and she knows how to start over.
Neptune quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.6°
She grows by testing her ideals against real life, again and again.
Neptune sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.7°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Jupiter opposition Saturn almost exact at 0.8°
Growth and caution keep checking each other: she moves forward in bursts, then pauses to consolidate.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
The Sun opposition Neptune close at 1.1°
The self she knows and the image others see drift apart at times, and she works to keep hold of the real one.
Pluto quincunx North Node close at 1.3°
She keeps giving up a little control to keep growing.
Venus sextile North Node close at 2.0°
Love and friendship move her forward: the people she cares for help her find her way.
Venus square Pluto wide at 3.3°
Love comes with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where she stands.
The Moon conjunction Mars wide at 3.6°
Her feelings run hot and fast, and she protects the people she loves fiercely.
Mercury conjunction Mars wide at 7.9°
She thinks fast and speaks faster: her mind likes a contest, and her words have an edge.
