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 Leo
The Bright One. Warm, proud and generous.
6°46′
Moon in Aquarius
The Moon moved from Capricorn into Aquarius at 4:53 a.m. that day, local time: in Capricorn for a birth before then, in Aquarius for one after.
3°53′
Mercury in Virgo
The Analyst. The editor’s eye.
3°30′
Venus in Cancer
The Nurturer. Love that makes a home.
9°53′
Mars in Taurus
The Stayer. Slow to start, impossible to stop.
5°40′

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.
25°43′
Chiron in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.
20°52′
Black Moon Lilith in Aries
In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.
17°51′
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 identity (the Sun in Leo) and her feelings (the Moon in Aquarius) face each other across the wheel, and her imagination (Neptune in Scorpio) takes the strain: the part of her that works hardest.
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 Taurus) and her imagination (Neptune in Scorpio) face each other across the wheel, and her identity (the Sun in Leo) takes the strain: the part of her that works hardest.
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 Taurus) and her imagination (Neptune in Scorpio) face each other across the wheel, and her feelings (the Moon in Aquarius) takes the strain: the part of her that works hardest.
Grand cross
Four planets in a square, two pairs pulling against each other: strain on every side, and great staying power.
In her chart, her identity, her feelings, her drive and her imagination (the Sun in Leo, the Moon in Aquarius, Mars in Taurus and Neptune in Scorpio) make the cross, and she learns to hold all four at once.
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.
Neptune sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.9°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
The Sun square Mars close at 1.1°
She fights hard for what she wants, and her temper is part of her courage.
Mercury sextile Neptune close at 1.4°
She thinks in pictures and music: her words carry a mood, and her imagination gives her ideas colour.
Jupiter conjunction North Node close at 1.5°
Generosity is part of her path: teaching, travel and big ideas move her forward.
The Moon square Mars close at 1.8°
Quick feelings and a quick temper: she reacts first, and her courage comes from the same place as her flashes of anger.
The Moon square Neptune close at 1.8°
Her feelings and her imagination pull in different directions: she lives between what is real and what she longs for.
