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 Virgo
The Fixer. Precise, useful and kind.
21°29′
Moon in Virgo
The Moon moved from Leo into Virgo at 10:18 a.m. that day, local time: in Leo for a birth before then, in Virgo for one after.
1°00′

The Analyst. The editor’s eye.

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 Capricorn
The direction her life grows in: Capricorn, ambitious and patient.
23°15′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
12°44′
Black Moon Lilith in Taurus
In Taurus, Lilith is an appetite for pleasure that sees no need to apologise.
18°37′
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 drive, her imagination and her intensity (Mars, Neptune and Pluto) gather in Taurus, 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 quincunx Jupiter almost exact at 0.1°
Her taste and her appetite for more needed adjusting: she kept learning what was enough.
Jupiter opposition Uranus almost exact at 0.2°
Restless hope: she wanted more freedom than any situation gave, and big changes came suddenly.
Mercury conjunction Uranus almost exact at 0.8°
She thought in leaps: brilliant, contrary and quick to get bored with the obvious.
Mercury opposition Jupiter close at 1.1°
Big ideas and loose details: she thought on a large scale, and the small print was where things got away from her.
The Sun trine North Node close at 1.8°
The direction her life took suited her: being herself and growing went hand in hand.
Mars conjunction Pluto close at 1.9°
Concentrated force: when she wanted something, she went after it with everything.

Deep change helped her forward: each time she started over, she went further.
The Sun trine Pluto wide at 5.9°
A quiet strength: under pressure she grew more focused, and she knew how to start over.
Uranus trine Neptune wide at 6.2°
Change and idealism went together: new ideas came wrapped in dreams of a better world.
