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 Cancer
The Protector. Home, memory and care.
2°29′
Moon in Gemini
The Moon moved from Gemini into Cancer at 3:52 p.m. that day, local time: in Gemini for a birth before then, in Cancer for one after.
28°01′
Mercury in Cancerretrograde
The Remembering Mind. A memory for tone.
14°55′
Venus in Cancer
The Nurturer. Love that makes a home.
20°06′
Mars in Pisces
The Gentle Warrior. Strength that flows round.

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 Virgo
The direction her life grows in: Virgo, precise and helpful.
26°42′
Chiron in Leo
In Leo, Chiron is a quiet doubt about deserving the light, and a gift for helping others shine without apology.
0°49′
Black Moon Lilith in Taurus
In Taurus, Lilith is an appetite for pleasure that sees no need to apologise.
11°58′
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.
T-square
Two planets pull against each other, and a third stands at right angles to both, where the strain gathers.
In her chart, her drive (Mars in Pisces) and her imagination (Neptune in Virgo) face each other across the wheel, and her identity (the Sun in Cancer) takes the strain: the part of her that works hardest.
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 opposition Neptune almost exact at 0.4°
Drive and dreams mix uneasily: the goal is clear to her, and the way to it harder to see.
Saturn trine Neptune close at 1.3°
Practical dreams: she gives ideals a shape and works to make them real.
The Moon square North Node close at 1.3°
Home comforts and the way forward ask for different things, and growing means leaving some familiar things behind.
Mars opposition North Node close at 1.3°
Old fights and the way forward disagree, and she grows by choosing which battles matter.
Uranus trine North Node close at 1.6°
Change helps her forward: she grows by trying the new.
Mars sextile Saturn close at 1.7°
Her drive and her discipline work together easily: she can push hard and keep going.
