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 Capricorn
The Architect. Ambitious, patient and dry.
6°05′
Moon in Virgo
The Moon moved from Virgo into Libra at 1:00 p.m. that day, local time: in Virgo for a birth before then, in Libra for one after.
29°30′
Mercury in Capricorn
The Planner. Foundations first.
4°34′
Venus in Capricorn
The Loyal Partner. Love built to last.
15°37′
Mars in Libra
The Negotiator. A fighter for fairness.

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 Aquarius
The direction her life grows in: Aquarius, independent and original.
1°22′
Chiron in Gemini
In Gemini, Chiron is an old fear of not being heard, which becomes a gift for finding the words others lack.
5°44′
Black Moon Lilith in Leo
In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.
18°01′
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 heart (the Sun, Mercury and Venus) gather in Capricorn, and that part of life drew her attention first.
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.
Venus sextile Jupiter almost exact at 0.6°
Affection came to her with generosity attached: her heart and her optimism helped each other.
Saturn quincunx Pluto almost exact at 0.7°
She kept adjusting between control and acceptance, and learned where each belonged.
Venus trine Neptune close at 1.1°
A romantic with an artist’s eye: she saw the beauty in people and made it visible to others.
The Sun conjunction Mercury close at 1.5°
Her mind and her identity were close together: she spoke as she thought, and her ideas were part of who she was.
Jupiter sextile Neptune close at 1.7°
Faith and imagination together: she believed in people and ideals, and that belief was catching.
The Moon trine North Node close at 1.9°
What comforted her also moved her forward: her instincts pointed the right way.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
The Sun square Mars close at 2.1°
She fought hard for what she wanted, and her temper was part of her courage.
Uranus square Pluto close at 2.2°
Upheaval and the urge to break free ran strong, and she pushed for change rather than waiting for it.
Saturn sextile Uranus close at 2.9°
Old and new sat well together: she could change things without throwing out what worked.
Mercury square Mars wide at 3.6°
Sharp words and a sharp mind: she argued well, sometimes too well, and a debate was a kind of sport to her.
Uranus square North Node wide at 3.8°
The way forward asked for steadiness, and the urge for change kept breaking in.
Pluto opposition North Node wide at 6.0°
Old attachments held her back from the way forward, and she grew by letting some things go.
The Sun trine Neptune wide at 8.5°
Imagination and identity worked together: she could become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
The Sun conjunction Venus wide at 9.6°
Charm came naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things were close to her core.
