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.

    22°06′

  • Moon in Pisces

    The Moon moved from Pisces into Aries at 1:48 p.m. that day, local time: in Pisces for a birth before then, in Aries for one after.

    28°58′

  • Mercury in Capricornretrograde

    The Planner. Foundations first.

    23°40′

  • Venus in Capricorn

    The Loyal Partner. Love built to last.

    19°11′

  • Mars in Pisces

    The Gentle Warrior. Strength that flows round.

Beyond the planetsNorth Node in Pisces, Chiron and Lilith
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.

    13°07′

  • Chiron in Aries

    In Aries, Chiron is a doubt about the right to go first, and with it a talent for giving others their nerve.

    2°46′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Leo

    In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.

    4°04′

The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.

PatternsStellium
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 and her heart (the Sun, Mercury and Venus) gather in Capricorn, and that part of life draws her attention first.

Aspects by strength14 between the planets, the closest first
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.

  • The Sun sextile Mars close at 1.1°

    Her purpose and her drive work together: once she decides on something, she moves on it fast.

  • The Moon trine Neptune close at 1.3°

    She picks up what others feel before a word is said, and her compassion reaches far.

  • The Sun conjunction Mercury close at 1.6°

    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 Pluto close at 1.6°

    She loves hard and holds on hard, and letting go takes her a long time.

  • Jupiter opposition Saturn close at 1.6°

    Growth and caution keep checking each other: she moves forward in bursts, then pauses to consolidate.

  • Venus sextile Mars close at 1.8°

    Charm and desire work together: she knows what she wants in love and how to win it.

    A probing mind: she gets to the bottom of things, and her words have power when she chooses to use them.

    Words with charm in them: she has an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people like listening to her.

  • The Sun trine Pluto wide at 5.2°
