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 Aquarius
The Free Thinker. Original, free and humane.
11°43′
Moon in Cancer
The Moon moved from Gemini into Cancer at 10:20 a.m. that day, local time: in Gemini for a birth before then, in Cancer for one after.
0°51′
Mercury in Capricorn
The Planner. Foundations first.
16°57′
Venus in Pisces
The Tender Heart. Love without limits.
28°32′

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.
27°47′
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.
27°35′
Black Moon Lilith in Taurus
In Taurus, Lilith is an appetite for pleasure that sees no need to apologise.
20°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 Aquarius) and her discipline (Saturn in Leo) face each other across the wheel, and her independence (Uranus in Scorpio) takes the strain: the part of her that works hardest.
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 Sun square Uranus exact at 0.0°
She needs room to be herself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.
Saturn sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.5°
Endurance: she can work through hard times, and what she builds survives pressure.
Venus quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.8°
She keeps adjusting what she wants from people to fit the life she is growing into.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.4°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Mars trine Jupiter close at 1.6°
Big drive and big confidence: she goes after large goals, and her enthusiasm carries others along.
The Sun opposition Saturn close at 1.9°
Self-belief comes slowly and has to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counts.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Saturn square Uranus close at 1.9°
Tradition and rebellion fight in her: she wants security and freedom, and can rarely have both at once.
Saturn trine Neptune close at 2.0°
Practical dreams: she gives ideals a shape and works to make them real.
The Moon square Venus close at 2.3°
What comforts her and what she loves are different things, so her heart and her moods keep negotiating.
The Sun trine Pluto close at 2.4°
A quiet strength: under pressure she grows more focused, and she knows how to start over.
Mercury square Pluto close at 2.8°
Her words have force: she speaks to persuade, and she keeps her own counsel until the right moment.
The Sun sextile Neptune wide at 3.9°
Imagination and identity work together: she can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
Mars square North Node wide at 4.5°
Old fights and the way forward disagree, and she grows by choosing which battles matter.
Mercury trine Jupiter wide at 4.7°
A generous, wide-ranging mind: she learns easily, tells a good story and sees the big picture.
Mercury conjunction Mars wide at 6.3°
She thinks fast and speaks faster: her mind likes a contest, and her words have an edge.
