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 Virgo
The Fixer. Precise, useful and kind.
23°35′
Moon in Taurus
The Moon moved from Taurus into Gemini at 1:26 p.m. that day, local time: in Taurus for a birth before then, in Gemini for one after.
29°16′
Mercury in Virgo
The Analyst. The editor’s eye.
5°59′
Venus in Libra
The Sweetheart. Grace, romance and balance.
18°30′
Mars in Sagittarius
The Champion. The long shot.
17°22′

Jupiter in Capricorn

Saturn in Scorpio
The Stalwart. Strength under pressure.

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 Taurus
The direction her life grows in: Taurus, steady and sensual.
29°37′
Chiron in Gemini
In Gemini, Chiron is an old fear of not being heard, which becomes a gift for finding the words others lack.
8°33′
Black Moon Lilith in Aries
In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.
1°14′
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 imagination (Mars, Uranus and Neptune) gather in Sagittarius, and that part of life draws her attention first.
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.
The Moon conjunction North Node almost exact at 0.3°
Her instincts lead the way: following her feelings is how she finds her direction.
Neptune quincunx North Node close at 1.0°
She grows by testing her ideals against real life, again and again.
Pluto quincunx North Node close at 1.0°
She keeps giving up a little control to keep growing.
Venus sextile Mars close at 1.1°
Charm and desire work together: she knows what she wants in love and how to win it.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.9°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Mercury trine Jupiter close at 2.4°
A generous, wide-ranging mind: she learns easily, tells a good story and sees the big picture.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Jupiter sextile Pluto close at 3.0°
Ambition with depth: she knows how to build influence, and she uses it to make big changes.
Mercury square Uranus wide at 3.9°
Her mind runs ahead of the conversation: she says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.
Jupiter conjunction Neptune wide at 4.9°
A dreamer’s faith: she believes in something larger, and her compassion and her hopes go together.
The Sun square Neptune wide at 5.1°
The self she knows and the image others see drift apart at times, and she works to keep hold of the real one.
The Sun trine North Node wide at 6.0°
The direction her life takes suits her: being herself and growing go hand in hand.
The Sun square Mars wide at 6.2°
She fights hard for what she wants, and her temper is part of her courage.
Mercury square North Node wide at 6.4°
Old ideas and the way forward are at odds, and she learns new ways of thinking to move on.
Mars conjunction Uranus wide at 7.5°
Electric: she acts on impulse, loves a risk and refuses to be told what to do.
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.
Standing alone: Saturn. It makes no major aspect, so her discipline works alone: strict in one part of life, and missing from others.
