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 Gemini
The Messenger. Curious and many-sided.
14°11′
Moon in Capricorn
The Moon moved from Sagittarius into Capricorn at 1:52 a.m. that day, local time: in Sagittarius for a birth before then, in Capricorn for one after.
5°01′
Mercury in Cancer
The Remembering Mind. A memory for tone.
5°08′
Venus in Taurus
The Keeper. Slow, sensual and loyal.
20°05′
Mars in Taurus
The Stayer. Slow to start, impossible to stop.

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 Gemini
The direction her life grows in: Gemini, curious and quick-witted.
2°33′
Chiron in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Chiron is a wariness about trust that runs deep, and the strength to stay close when others are at their lowest.
2°53′
Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.
13°58′
The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.
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.
Venus opposition Jupiter almost exact at 0.1°
She loves too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures run past what one life can use.
The Moon opposition Mercury almost exact at 0.1°
Her head and her feelings argue: she knows what she thinks before she knows what she feels, or the other way round.
Mars square Pluto almost exact at 0.2°
A fierce will: she meets opposition head on, and a fight brings out her full strength.
Jupiter quincunx Uranus close at 1.4°
Her hopes and her restlessness keep changing places, and she redraws her plans more than once.
Saturn sextile North Node close at 2.7°
Discipline helps her grow: patience and hard work keep her on course.
The Sun sextile Pluto close at 2.8°
A quiet strength: under pressure she grows more focused, and she knows how to start over.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Saturn sextile Neptune close at 2.8°
Practical dreams: she gives ideals a shape and works to make them real.
Mercury square Neptune close at 2.9°
Facts and dreams blur together in her mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details matter.
Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 3.3°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Neptune trine North Node wide at 5.5°
Imagination helps her forward, through art, ideals and care for others.
The Sun trine Neptune wide at 6.1°
Imagination and identity work together: she can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
Saturn conjunction Pluto wide at 6.1°
Iron will and great patience: she builds slowly and for keeps.
Mars square Saturn wide at 6.3°
Drive with the brakes on: she wants to move, something holds her back, and the friction makes her tough.
The Sun conjunction Uranus wide at 7.3°
Born original: her identity and her need for freedom are the same thing, and she surprises people, herself included.
