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 Leo
The Bright One. Warm, proud and generous.
13°06′
Moon in Capricorn
The Moon moved from Sagittarius into Capricorn at 2:10 a.m. that day, local time: in Sagittarius for a birth before then, in Capricorn for one after.
4°53′
Mercury in Virgo
The Analyst. The editor’s eye.
9°35′
Venus in Virgo
The Quiet Romantic. Love in small attentions.
23°44′
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 Taurus
The direction her life grows in: Taurus, steady and sensual.
4°55′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
5°39′
Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Lilith is a free mind that keeps only the beliefs it chose.
26°02′
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 Taurus) and her optimism (Jupiter in Scorpio) face each other across the wheel, and her identity (the Sun in Leo) took the strain: the part of her that worked 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 exact at 0.0°
What comforted her also moved her forward: her instincts pointed the right way.
The Sun square Mars almost exact at 0.9°
She fought hard for what she wanted, and her temper was part of her courage.
Jupiter opposition North Node close at 1.5°
Easy hopes and the harder way forward went different ways, and real growth came from the harder one.
Venus sextile Neptune close at 1.6°
A romantic with an artist’s eye: she saw the beauty in people and made it visible to others.
Uranus quincunx Pluto close at 1.8°
Freedom and control needed constant adjusting, and she changed in stages rather than all at once.
Saturn sextile Neptune close at 2.5°
Practical dreams: she gave ideals a shape and worked to make them real.

Controlled force: she worked with patience and grit, and she finished what she started.
The Sun square Saturn wide at 6.5°
Self-belief came slowly and had to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counted.
The Sun square Jupiter wide at 6.7°

Mars opposition Jupiter wide at 7.6°
She took on more than any one person could, and her boldness ran ahead of her plans.
The Sun square North Node wide at 8.2°
Being herself and growing asked for different things, and her biggest steps forward came when she stretched past her habits.
