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 Pisces
The Sun moved from Pisces into Aries at 2:16 p.m. that day, local time: in Pisces for a birth before then, in Aries for one after.

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 Sagittarius
The direction her life grows in: Sagittarius, free and far-ranging.
18°49′
Chiron in Gemini
In Gemini, Chiron is an old fear of not being heard, which becomes a gift for finding the words others lack.
18°10′
Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Lilith is an intensity and a private power that stay unexplained.
18°48′
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.
Grand trine
Three planets in an easy triangle, each in flowing contact with the other two: a gift that comes without effort.
In her chart, her identity, her drive and her intensity (the Sun in Pisces, Mars in Sagittarius and Pluto in Cancer) make the triangle, so these come to her naturally.
Grand trine
Three planets in an easy triangle, each in flowing contact with the other two: a gift that comes without effort.
In her chart, her drive, her discipline and her intensity (Mars in Sagittarius, Saturn in Pisces and Pluto in Cancer) make the triangle, so these come to her naturally.
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 conjunction Saturn almost exact at 0.1°
Serious thoughts: she says less than she knows, and what she says holds up.
Saturn trine Pluto almost exact at 0.8°
Endurance: she can work through hard times, and what she builds survives pressure.
Mercury trine Pluto almost exact at 0.9°
A probing mind: she gets to the bottom of things, and her words have power when she chooses to use them.
Neptune square North Node close at 1.6°
Dreams and the way forward clash, and growing means trading some illusions for clear sight.
The Sun trine Mars close at 2.3°
Her purpose and her drive work together: once she decides on something, she moves on it fast.
Venus conjunction Uranus close at 2.5°
Love at first sight, and freedom after it: the different and the new win her heart.
