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 Taurus
The Gardener. Steady, sensual and sure.
8°03′
Moon in Scorpio
The Moon moved from Libra into Scorpio at 7:52 a.m. that day, local time: in Libra for a birth before then, in Scorpio for one after.

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 Aquarius
The direction her life grows in: Aquarius, independent and original.
7°48′
Chiron in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Chiron is the feeling of having grown up too soon, and a gift for showing others how to stand on their own.
21°03′
Black Moon Lilith in Virgo
In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.
13°57′
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 optimism (the Sun, Mars and Jupiter) gather in Taurus, 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 Sun square North Node almost exact at 0.3°
Being herself and growing ask for different things, and her biggest steps forward come when she stretches past her habits.
Venus square Uranus almost exact at 0.6°
Love comes in sudden starts and stops: she falls for people quickly and needs room just as quickly.
Mars conjunction Jupiter almost exact at 0.7°
Enthusiasm at full speed: she charges at life with confidence, and setbacks slow her only briefly.
Mercury square Uranus almost exact at 0.8°
Her mind runs ahead of the conversation: she says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.
Saturn conjunction Neptune almost exact at 0.8°
She takes dreams seriously and gives them structure, and her ideals have to prove themselves.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.3°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.

Mercury conjunction Venus close at 1.4°
Words with charm in them: she has an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people like listening to her.
Saturn sextile Pluto close at 2.1°
Endurance: she can work through hard times, and what she builds survives pressure.
Venus trine Pluto wide at 5.1°
She loves with depth and loyalty, and the bonds she forms change both people.
Venus opposition Neptune wide at 6.4°
She loves the dream of a person, and the real one has to compete with it.
Jupiter square Pluto wide at 6.7°
She wants more power than comes easily, and the struggle for it shapes her life.
Venus opposition Saturn wide at 7.2°
Love feels like something to be earned, and she holds back until she is sure of it.
