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.
9°59′
Moon in Capricorn
The Moon moved from Sagittarius into Capricorn at 11:20 a.m. that day, local time: in Sagittarius for a birth before then, in Capricorn for one after.
0°24′
Mercury in Cancer
The Remembering Mind. A memory for tone.
3°15′
Venus in Aries
The Chaser. Love at first sight.
25°56′

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 Virgo
The direction her life grows in: Virgo, precise and helpful.
0°41′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
6°39′
Black Moon Lilith in Leo
In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.
13°19′
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 drive (Mars in Leo) and her optimism (Jupiter in Aquarius) face each other across the wheel, and her imagination (Neptune 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 Moon trine North Node almost exact at 0.3°
What comforts her also moves her forward: her instincts point the right way.
The Sun quincunx Neptune almost exact at 0.8°
She keeps redrawing the line between the life she has and the life she imagines.
Saturn quincunx North Node close at 1.2°
Responsibility and growth need steady balancing, and she learns which duties to keep.
Jupiter quincunx Pluto close at 1.5°
The bigger the stakes grow, the more she has to rethink her aims.
Jupiter square Neptune close at 2.0°
Her hopes run ahead of what is real, and she learns to check a beautiful idea against the facts.
Mercury sextile Pluto close at 2.4°
A probing mind: she gets to the bottom of things, and her words have power when she chooses to use them.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Mercury sextile North Node close at 2.6°
Her way with words helps her find her direction, and the right ideas come at the right time.
The Moon opposition Mercury close at 2.8°
Her head and her feelings argue: she knows what she thinks before she knows what she feels, or the other way round.
The Sun trine Jupiter close at 2.9°
Her confidence comes easily and spreads: she thinks big, and other people want to come along.
Venus square Saturn wide at 3.5°
Love feels like something to be earned, and she holds back until she is sure of it.
Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 3.6°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
The Sun sextile Mars wide at 3.8°
Her purpose and her drive work together: once she decides on something, she moves on it fast.
Venus trine Uranus wide at 3.8°
She loves the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all her own.
The Sun square Pluto wide at 4.4°
Nothing about her is halfway: she insists on running her own life, and the struggle makes her formidable.
Mars square Neptune wide at 4.6°
Drive and dreams mix uneasily: the goal is clear to her, and the way to it harder to see.
Venus trine North Node wide at 4.7°
Love and friendship move her forward: the people she cares for help her find her way.
Pluto conjunction North Node wide at 4.9°
A path of transformation: her direction in life asks her to change herself completely, more than once.
Mercury trine Neptune wide at 5.9°
She thinks in pictures and music: her words carry a mood, and her imagination gives her ideas colour.
Mars opposition Jupiter wide at 6.7°
She takes on more than any one person can, and her boldness runs ahead of her plans.
Jupiter conjunction Saturn wide at 7.6°
Optimism with a plan: her hopes are practical, and she builds them slowly into something real.
