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 Aries
The Pioneer. First in, first to try.
28°40′
Moon in Capricorn
The Moon moved from Sagittarius into Capricorn at 1:21 a.m. that day, local time: in Sagittarius for a birth before then, in Capricorn for one after.
6°22′
Mercury in Aries
The Spark. First to speak.
10°31′
Venus in Pisces
The Tender Heart. Love without limits.
25°53′

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 Aries
The direction her life grows in: Aries, bold and direct.
11°25′
Chiron in Gemini
In Gemini, Chiron is an old fear of not being heard, which becomes a gift for finding the words others lack.
17°45′
Black Moon Lilith in Cancer
In Cancer, Lilith is a fierce need to belong, and no wish to look after anyone on command.
16°26′
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 optimism (the Sun, Mercury and Jupiter) gather in Aries, and that part of life draws her attention first.
Yod
Two planets in easy contact both point awkwardly at a third, which becomes the focus: a talent that takes constant adjusting.
In her chart, her mind (Mercury in Aries) and her drive (Mars in Gemini) both point at her intensity (Pluto in Scorpio), the part of her that keeps needing adjustment and gives her life its focus.
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 conjunction North Node exact at 0.0°
Generosity is part of her path: teaching, travel and big ideas move her forward.
Mars quincunx Pluto almost exact at 0.2°
Force and restraint keep trading places, and she learns when to let go.
Venus square Uranus almost exact at 0.7°
Love comes in sudden starts and stops: she falls for people quickly and needs room just as quickly.
Mercury conjunction Jupiter almost exact at 0.9°
She loves ideas, the bigger the better, and she can talk anyone into hoping.
Mercury conjunction North Node almost exact at 0.9°
Ideas and talk set her course: she finds her direction by learning and talking things through.
Neptune sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.9°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
