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°29′
Moon in Taurus
The Moon moved from Aries into Taurus at 4:39 a.m. that day, local time: in Aries for a birth before then, in Taurus for one after.
3°50′
Mercury in Virgoretrograde
The Analyst. The editor’s eye.
14°03′
Venus in Leo
The Romantic. Grand, generous love.
7°39′
Mars in Aquariusretrograde
The Rebel. Rebel with a cause.

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 Leo
The direction her life grows in: Leo, warm and dramatic.
22°38′
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.
23°38′
Black Moon Lilith in Gemini
In Gemini, Lilith is the quick tongue that says out loud what the room only thinks.
19°52′
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 mind (Mercury in Virgo) and her independence (Uranus in Pisces) face each other across the wheel, and her optimism (Jupiter in Sagittarius) took the strain: the part of her that worked 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.
Mercury sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.6°
A probing mind: she got to the bottom of things, and her words had power when she chose to use them.
Jupiter quincunx Pluto almost exact at 0.9°
The bigger the stakes grew, the more she had to rethink her aims.
Neptune conjunction North Node close at 1.3°
A path lit by imagination: she followed a vision more than a plan.
Mercury square Jupiter close at 1.6°
Big ideas and loose details: she thought on a large scale, and the small print was where things got away from her.
Uranus quincunx Neptune close at 2.0°
Sudden change and slow dreams kept adjusting to each other.
The Sun quincunx Mars close at 2.1°
Aim and action ran at different speeds, and she spent real effort keeping them in step.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Mars opposition North Node close at 2.9°
Old fights and the way forward disagreed, and she grew by choosing which battles mattered.
The Moon opposition Saturn wide at 3.5°
Feelings came second to duty: she held herself to a high standard, even in private.
The Sun opposition Uranus wide at 4.1°
She needed room to be herself, and any rule that fit too tightly got broken.
Mars opposition Neptune wide at 4.2°
Drive and dreams mixed uneasily: the goal was clear to her, and the way to it harder to see.
Mars trine Saturn wide at 4.7°
Her drive and her discipline worked together easily: she could push hard and keep going.
Venus trine Jupiter wide at 4.8°
Affection came to her with generosity attached: her heart and her optimism helped each other.
Mercury opposition Uranus wide at 5.3°
Her mind ran ahead of the conversation: she said the unexpected thing, and not everyone was ready to hear it.
Uranus trine Pluto wide at 6.0°
She could help change things at the root, and upheaval suited her.
Jupiter square Uranus wide at 6.9°
Restless hope: she wanted more freedom than any situation gave, and big changes came suddenly.
