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 Capricorn
The Architect. Ambitious, patient and dry.
19°04′
Moon in Gemini
The Moon moved from Taurus into Gemini at 3:27 a.m. that day, local time: in Taurus for a birth before then, in Gemini for one after.
4°23′
Mercury in Capricorn
The Planner. Foundations first.
18°01′
Venus in Sagittarius
The Adventurer. Love as an adventure.
24°46′

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 Libra
The direction her life grows in: Libra, graceful and fair.
5°18′
Chiron in Cancer
In Cancer, Chiron is an early longing to belong somewhere, and a knack for making strangers feel at home.
29°06′
Black Moon Lilith in Aries
In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.
23°34′
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 trine Pluto almost exact at 0.2°
Stamina and willpower: she keeps going long after others stop, and she does her best work under pressure.
Jupiter quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.5°
Some hopes have to be let go to fit the way forward, and she chooses which ones.
The Moon trine North Node almost exact at 0.9°
What comforts her also moves her forward: her instincts point the right way.
The Sun conjunction Mercury close at 1.1°
Her mind and her identity are close together: she speaks as she thinks, and her ideas are part of who she is.
The Moon opposition Mars close at 1.1°
Quick feelings and a quick temper: she reacts first, and her courage comes from the same place as her flashes of anger.
Pluto sextile North Node close at 1.8°
Deep change helps her forward: each time she starts over, she goes further.
