The chart, fact by fact
Planets

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 Libra
The Diplomat. Grace, fairness and balance.

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 Aries
The direction her life grows in: Aries, bold and direct.
19°40′
Chiron in Virgo
In Virgo, Chiron is the sense that no effort is ever quite enough, and a gift for patient, practical help.
15°14′
Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Lilith is a free mind that keeps only the beliefs it chose.
21°29′
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 discipline (the Sun, Mars and Saturn) gather in Libra, and that part of life drew her attention first.
Stellium
Three or more planets gathered in one sign or one house, so that part of the chart speaks loudest.
In her chart, her optimism, her imagination and her intensity (Jupiter, Neptune and Pluto) gather in Gemini, and that part of life drew 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 Moon sextile Saturn almost exact at 0.6°
Steady feelings: she kept calm under strain, and she loved in ways that lasted.
Uranus quincunx Pluto almost exact at 0.8°
Freedom and control needed constant adjusting, and she changed in stages rather than all at once.
The Sun opposition North Node close at 1.9°
Being herself and growing asked for different things, and her biggest steps forward came when she stretched past her habits.
Mercury conjunction Uranus close at 2.2°
She thought in leaps: brilliant, contrary and quick to get bored with the obvious.
Venus opposition Jupiter close at 2.5°
She loved too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures ran past what one life could use.
The Moon opposition Neptune close at 2.6°
Her feelings and her imagination pulled in different directions: she lived between what was real and what she longed for.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Mars trine Pluto close at 2.6°
Stamina and willpower: she kept going long after others stopped, and she did her best work under pressure.
Neptune conjunction Pluto close at 2.8°
Imagination and intensity in one place, a meeting that comes about once in five hundred years: a feel for how things end and begin again.
Saturn opposition North Node wide at 3.1°
Duty and growth competed: what she owed others and where she needed to go called for hard choices.
Saturn trine Neptune wide at 3.2°
Practical dreams: she gave ideals a shape and worked to make them real.
The Sun conjunction Saturn wide at 5.1°
Serious from early on: purpose and duty were one thing to her, and she treated her own life as work to be done well.
Mars trine Neptune wide at 5.4°
She worked for ideals: her drive came alive for a cause, a role or a dream.
Saturn trine Pluto wide at 5.9°
Endurance: she could work through hard times, and what she built survived pressure.
The Sun trine Neptune wide at 8.2°
Imagination and identity worked together: she could become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.

No earth at all, so the practical, settled side was the one she had to find.
