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 Taurus
The Gardener. Steady, sensual and sure.
24°11′
Moon in Leo
The Moon moved from Cancer into Leo at 9:28 a.m. that day, local time: in Cancer for a birth before then, in Leo for one after.
1°28′

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.
15°16′
Chiron in Gemini
In Gemini, Chiron is an old fear of not being heard, which becomes a gift for finding the words others lack.
21°34′
Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Lilith is an intensity and a private power that stay unexplained.
24°58′
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 independence (the Sun, Mercury and Uranus) gather in Taurus, and that part of life drew her attention first.
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 feelings, her drive and her discipline (the Moon in Leo, Mars in Scorpio and Saturn in Aries) make the triangle, so these came 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 Scorpio, Saturn in Aries and Pluto in Cancer) make the triangle, so these came 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.
Jupiter opposition Pluto almost exact at 0.6°
She wanted more power than came easily, and the struggle for it shaped her life.
The Moon trine Saturn almost exact at 0.6°
Steady feelings: she kept calm under strain, and she loved in ways that lasted.
Neptune square North Node close at 1.0°
Dreams and the way forward clashed, and growing meant trading some illusions for clear sight.
The Moon trine Mars close at 1.6°
Her feelings turned straight into action: when something mattered, she did something about it.
Mercury trine Neptune close at 1.7°
She thought in pictures and music: her words carried a mood, and her imagination gave her ideas colour.
Mars trine Saturn close at 2.2°
Her drive and her discipline worked together easily: she could push hard and keep going.

What’s this?Close
The chart’s balance at a glance: which of the four elements and three modes it leans on, which body is most connected, and any body standing alone.

The Moon changed sign that day; it is counted where it stood at noon.
No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through took deliberate effort.
