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.

Beyond the planetsNorth Node in Scorpio, 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 Scorpio

    The direction her life grows in: Scorpio, intense and private.

    15°36′

  • 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.

    24°43′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Aries

    In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.

    12°48′

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

Aspects by strength10 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.

  • Mercury square Uranus close at 1.6°

    Her mind runs ahead of the conversation: she says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.

  • The Moon opposition Mars close at 2.3°

    Quick feelings and a quick temper: she reacts first, and her courage comes from the same place as her flashes of anger.

  • Mars sextile Jupiter close at 2.4°

    Big drive and big confidence: she goes after large goals, and her enthusiasm carries others along.

  • Venus square Uranus close at 2.4°

    Love comes in sudden starts and stops: she falls for people quickly and needs room just as quickly.

  • Neptune sextile Pluto close at 2.6°

    A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.

  • Mercury trine Pluto close at 2.6°

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

  • The Sun trine Uranus wide at 3.1°

    Independence comes easily: she does things her own way, and people find it refreshing rather than rude.

  • Jupiter square Saturn wide at 3.9°

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

  • Mercury conjunction Venus wide at 4.0°

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

  • Mars opposition Neptune wide at 6.9°

    Drive and dreams mix uneasily: the goal is clear to her, and the way to it harder to see.

No earth at all, so the practical, settled side is the one she has to find.
