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 Aries
The Pioneer. First in, first to try.
26°59′
Moon in Cancer
The Moon moved from Cancer into Leo at 8:55 p.m. that day, local time: in Cancer for a birth before then, in Leo for one after.
25°02′
Mercury in Aries

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 Taurus
The direction her life grows in: Taurus, steady and sensual.
6°58′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
27°31′
Black Moon Lilith in Aries
In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.
12°31′
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 mind and her discipline (the Sun, Mercury and Saturn) gather in Aries, and that part of life draws her attention first.
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 identity (the Sun in Aries) and her drive (Mars in Libra) face each other across the wheel, and her feelings (the Moon in Cancer) takes the strain: the part of her that works hardest.
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 identity (the Sun in Aries) and her drive (Mars in Libra) face each other across the wheel, and her optimism (Jupiter in Cancer) 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 conjunction Jupiter almost exact at 0.5°
Big feelings and a big heart: her good moods lift everyone near, and she gives comfort freely.
Mercury conjunction Saturn almost exact at 0.8°
Serious thoughts: she says less than she knows, and what she says holds up.
Mercury sextile Venus almost exact at 0.8°
A graceful mind: she speaks kindly and well, and she knows how to say a hard thing gently.
The Moon square Mars close at 1.1°
Quick feelings and a quick temper: she reacts first, and her courage comes from the same place as her flashes of anger.
The Moon trine Neptune close at 1.4°
She picks up what others feel before a word is said, and her compassion reaches far.
The Sun square Jupiter close at 1.4°
She reaches for more than one life can hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
