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 Scorpio
The Detective. Intense, private and loyal.
10°07′
Moon in Virgo
The Mender. Care in the details.
6°15′
Mercury in Libra
The Mediator. Both sides of the question.
22°41′
Venus in Libra
The Sweetheart. Grace, romance and balance.
19°28′
Mars in Scorpio
The Strategist. Will under a still surface.

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 Leo
The direction her life grows in: Leo, warm and dramatic.
24°11′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
1°56′
Black Moon Lilith in Virgo
In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.
0°30′
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 drive and her imagination (the Sun, Mars and Neptune) gather in Scorpio, and that part of life draws her attention first.
Stellium

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 quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.1°
Responsibility and growth need steady balancing, and she learns which duties to keep.
Jupiter quincunx Uranus almost exact at 0.2°
Her hopes and her restlessness keep changing places, and she redraws her plans more than once.
The Sun sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.4°
A quiet strength: under pressure she grows more focused, and she knows how to start over.
The Sun conjunction Neptune almost exact at 0.9°
She takes in moods, music and other people’s hopes, and gives them back as something new.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.3°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Mercury sextile North Node close at 1.5°
Her way with words helps her find her direction, and the right ideas come at the right time.
