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 Gemini
The Messenger. Curious and many-sided.
16°04′
Moon in Capricorn
The Moon moved from Capricorn into Aquarius at 2:04 p.m. that day, local time: in Capricorn for a birth before then, in Aquarius for one after.
28°49′

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.
16°38′
Chiron in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.
28°10′
Black Moon Lilith in Virgo
In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.
28°09′
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, her heart and her intensity (the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Pluto) gather in Gemini, and that part of life drew 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.
Saturn square Uranus almost exact at 0.1°
Tradition and rebellion fought in her: she wanted security and freedom, and could rarely have both at once.
Mercury conjunction Venus almost exact at 0.2°
Words with charm in them: she had an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people liked listening to her.
The Sun conjunction North Node almost exact at 0.6°
Her identity and her direction in life lined up: the more fully she became herself, the further she went.
Mars opposition Jupiter close at 1.2°
She took on more than any one person could, and her boldness ran ahead of her plans.
Venus conjunction Pluto close at 1.6°
A deep, private heart: she drew people in and kept some feelings locked away.
Mercury conjunction Pluto close at 1.8°
She thought like a detective: nothing was taken at face value, and she remembered everything.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Saturn sextile North Node wide at 3.8°
Discipline helped her grow: patience and hard work kept her on course.
The Sun quincunx Uranus wide at 4.3°
Her restlessness kept testing her plans, so she changed course more than once to stay true to herself.
The Sun sextile Saturn wide at 4.4°
Purpose and patience worked as a team: she built slowly and got better with every year.
Saturn sextile Pluto wide at 4.7°
Endurance: she could work through hard times, and what she built survived pressure.
Uranus opposition Neptune wide at 4.7°
The urge for change and the longing for ideals clashed, and she lived with both.
Saturn square Neptune wide at 4.8°
The dream and the hard work seldom agreed on terms: her discipline and her imagination asked different things of her.
The Sun square Mars wide at 8.4°
She fought hard for what she wanted, and her temper was part of her courage.
The Sun conjunction Pluto wide at 9.0°
Intensity at the centre: she wanted the whole truth about everything, herself first, and she remade herself more than once to reach it.
