The chart, fact by fact
Planets

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 Scorpio
The Detective. Intense, private and loyal.
24°14′
Moon in Aquarius
The Cool Head. Cool head, warm heart.
8°51′

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 Libra
The direction her life grows in: Libra, graceful and fair.
14°31′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
2°28′
Black Moon Lilith in Gemini
In Gemini, Lilith is the quick tongue that says out loud what the room only thinks.
23°03′
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 heart and her independence (the Sun, Venus and Uranus) gather in Scorpio, 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 feelings (the Moon in Aquarius) and her drive (Mars in Leo) face each other across the wheel, and her heart (Venus in Scorpio) 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.
Neptune sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.5°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Neptune sextile North Node almost exact at 0.5°
Imagination helps her forward, through art, ideals and care for others.
Venus square Mars almost exact at 0.6°
In love she wants tenderness and a chase at once, and her relationships are rarely calm.
The Moon square Venus almost exact at 0.7°
What comforts her and what she loves are different things, so her heart and her moods keep negotiating.
Pluto conjunction North Node close at 1.1°
A path of transformation: her direction in life asks her to change herself completely, more than once.
The Moon opposition Mars close at 1.3°
Quick feelings and a quick temper: she reacts first, and her courage comes from the same place as her flashes of anger.

Mercury trine Mars close at 2.8°
A quick, direct mind: she makes decisions fast and says what she means.
Venus trine Jupiter close at 3.0°

Venus conjunction Uranus wide at 4.7°
Love at first sight, and freedom after it: the different and the new win her heart.
Mercury conjunction Neptune wide at 4.7°
A poet’s mind: she hears what goes unsaid, and her best ideas come from somewhere hard to explain.
Mars square Uranus wide at 5.3°
Restless and quick to rebel: she pushes against limits, and sudden decisions come with the territory.
The Sun square Saturn wide at 5.8°
Self-belief comes slowly and has to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counts.
