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°02′
Moon in Aries
The Moon moved from Pisces into Aries at 7:08 a.m. that day, local time: in Pisces for a birth before then, in Aries for one after.
2°35′
Mercury in Sagittarius
The Philosopher. The big picture.
25°52′
Venus in Sagittarius
The Adventurer. Love as an adventure.
26°28′
Mars in Virgo
The Craftsperson. The craftsman’s drive.

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.
22°40′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
15°07′
Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.
10°06′
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 drive, her independence and her intensity (Mars, Uranus and Pluto) gather in Virgo, and that part of life draws her attention first.
Grand trine
Three planets in an easy triangle, each in flowing contact with the other two: a gift that comes without effort.
In her chart, her identity, her optimism and her independence (the Sun in Capricorn, Jupiter in Taurus and Uranus in Virgo) make the triangle, so these come to her naturally.

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 square Mars exact at 0.0°
Sharp words and a sharp mind: she argues well, sometimes too well, and a debate is a kind of sport to her.
Jupiter trine Pluto almost exact at 0.1°
Ambition with depth: she knows how to build influence, and she uses it to make big changes.
The Sun sextile Neptune almost exact at 0.5°
Imagination and identity work together: she can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
Venus square Mars almost exact at 0.6°
In love she wants tenderness and a chase at once, and her relationships are rarely calm.
Mercury conjunction Venus almost exact at 0.6°
Words with charm in them: she has an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people like listening to her.
Jupiter trine Uranus close at 1.4°
Sudden openings: she spots new chances early and jumps at them.

Uranus conjunction Pluto close at 1.6°
Born into a time of upheaval: she wants radical change, and wants it at once.
The Sun trine Pluto close at 2.8°
A quiet strength: under pressure she grows more focused, and she knows how to start over.
The Sun trine Jupiter close at 2.9°
Her confidence comes easily and spreads: she thinks big, and other people want to come along.
Mercury opposition North Node wide at 3.2°
Old ideas and the way forward are at odds, and she learns new ways of thinking to move on.
Mars square North Node wide at 3.2°
Old fights and the way forward disagree, and she grows by choosing which battles matter.
Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 3.3°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Jupiter opposition Neptune wide at 3.4°
Her hopes run ahead of what is real, and she learns to check a beautiful idea against the facts.
The Sun quincunx North Node wide at 3.6°
The way forward asks her to bend habits that feel like part of who she is.
Venus opposition North Node wide at 3.8°
What feels comfortable in love and what helps her grow are different things, and she chooses between them more than once.
The Sun trine Uranus wide at 4.4°
Independence comes easily: she does things her own way, and people find it refreshing rather than rude.
Uranus sextile Neptune wide at 4.9°
Change and idealism go together: new ideas come wrapped in dreams of a better world.
Pluto square North Node wide at 6.5°
Old attachments hold her back from the way forward, and she grows by letting some things go.
The Sun trine Mars wide at 6.9°
Her purpose and her drive work together: once she decides on something, she moves on it fast.
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.
Elements
Modes
The Moon changed sign that day; it is counted where it stood at noon.
No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through takes deliberate effort.
Standing alone: Saturn. It makes no major aspect, so her discipline works alone: strict in one part of life, and missing from others.
