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 Cancer
The Protector. Home, memory and care.
25°13′
Moon in Scorpio
The Moon moved from Scorpio into Sagittarius at 2:32 p.m. that day, local time: in Scorpio for a birth before then, in Sagittarius for one after.
28°36′
Mercury in Cancer
The Remembering Mind. A memory for tone.
10°06′
Venus in Virgo
The Quiet Romantic. Love in small attentions.
5°53′
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 Scorpio
The direction her life grows in: Scorpio, intense and private.
29°34′
Chiron in Aries
In Aries, Chiron is a doubt about the right to go first, and with it a talent for giving others their nerve.
28°04′
Black Moon Lilith in Pisces
In Pisces, Lilith is a dreamer who wants no rescuing, with a private world all its own.
18°16′
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 Cancer, 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 optimism (Jupiter in Aries) and her independence (Uranus in Libra) face each other across the wheel, and her identity (the Sun 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.
Jupiter square Saturn almost exact at 0.6°
Growth and caution keep checking each other: she moves forward in bursts, then pauses to consolidate.
Mercury quincunx Neptune almost exact at 0.8°
Meaning comes to her before the words do, and clear speech follows the feeling.
The Moon conjunction North Node close at 1.0°
Her instincts lead the way: following her feelings is how she finds her direction.
The Sun square Jupiter close at 1.7°
She reaches for more than one life can hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.
Mercury sextile Mars close at 2.0°
A quick, direct mind: she makes decisions fast and says what she means.
The Sun conjunction Saturn close at 2.3°
Serious from early on: purpose and duty are one thing to her, and she treats her own life as work to be done well.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 2.6°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
The Sun square Uranus wide at 3.2°
She needs room to be herself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.
Mercury square Pluto wide at 3.4°
Her words have force: she speaks to persuade, and she keeps her own counsel until the right moment.
Venus square Neptune wide at 3.4°
She loves the dream of a person, and the real one has to compete with it.
Mercury sextile Venus wide at 4.2°
A graceful mind: she speaks kindly and well, and she knows how to say a hard thing gently.
The Sun trine North Node wide at 4.4°
The direction her life takes suits her: being herself and growing go hand in hand.
Jupiter opposition Uranus wide at 4.9°
Restless hope: she wants more freedom than any situation gives, and big changes come suddenly.
Saturn square Uranus wide at 5.5°
Tradition and rebellion fight in her: she wants security and freedom, and can rarely have both at once.
Venus trine Mars wide at 6.2°
Charm and desire work together: she knows what she wants in love and how to win it.
Venus square North Node wide at 6.3°
What feels comfortable in love and what helps her grow are different things, and she chooses between them more than once.
Saturn trine North Node wide at 6.7°
Discipline helps her grow: patience and hard work keep her on course.
