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.

    6°51′

  • Moon in Cancer

    The Moon moved from Cancer into Leo at 9:37 p.m. that day, local time: in Cancer for a birth before then, in Leo for one after.

    25°11′

  • Mercury in Pisces

    The Poet. Knowing without explaining.

    24°59′

  • Venus in Ariesretrograde

    The Chaser. Love at first sight.

    25°05′

  • Mars in Sagittarius

    The Champion. The long shot.

    11°43′

Beyond the planetsNorth Node in Aries, Chiron and Lilith
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.

    0°15′

  • Chiron in Aries

    In Aries, Chiron is a doubt about the right to go first, and with it a talent for giving others their nerve.

    3°02′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Cancer

    In Cancer, Lilith is a fierce need to belong, and no wish to look after anyone on command.

    1°32′

The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.

PatternsStellium
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 discipline (the Sun, Venus and Saturn) gather in Aries, and that part of life draws her attention first.

Aspects by strength25 between the planets, the closest first
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.

  • The Moon square Venus almost exact at 0.1°

    What comforts her and what she loves are different things, so her heart and her moods keep negotiating.

  • Jupiter opposition North Node almost exact at 0.2°

    Easy hopes and the harder way forward go different ways, and real growth comes from the harder one.

  • The Moon trine Mercury almost exact at 0.2°

    Feeling and thought speak the same language: she can put a mood into words, and her words carry feeling.

  • The Moon square Saturn almost exact at 0.6°

    Feelings come second to duty: she holds herself to a high standard, even in private.

  • Venus conjunction Saturn almost exact at 0.7°

    Serious about love: she gives affection slowly, and once given, it stays given.

  • Jupiter conjunction Uranus close at 1.4°

    An inventive optimism: she believes in the new, and she takes leaps others would not.

  • Uranus opposition North Node close at 1.5°

    The way forward asks for steadiness, and the urge for change keeps breaking in.

  • Mercury opposition Pluto close at 1.6°

    Her words have force: she speaks to persuade, and she keeps her own counsel until the right moment.

  • Venus quincunx Pluto close at 1.6°

    Affection and the need for control keep getting in each other’s way, and trust takes her time.

  • Neptune trine North Node close at 1.7°

    Imagination helps her forward, through art, ideals and care for others.

  • Jupiter sextile Neptune close at 1.9°

    Faith and imagination together: she believes in people and ideals, and that belief is catching.

  • Saturn quincunx Pluto close at 2.4°

    She keeps adjusting between control and acceptance, and learns where each belongs.

  • Saturn quincunx Neptune close at 2.7°

    Duty and dreams keep trading places as the priority.

  • Uranus sextile Neptune wide at 3.2°

    Change and idealism go together: new ideas come wrapped in dreams of a better world.

  • Mercury trine Neptune wide at 3.5°

    She thinks in pictures and music: her words carry a mood, and her imagination gives her ideas colour.

  • The Sun trine Mars wide at 4.9°

    Her purpose and her drive work together: once she decides on something, she moves on it fast.

  • The Sun opposition Uranus wide at 5.1°

    She needs room to be herself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.

  • Mercury conjunction North Node wide at 5.2°

    Ideas and talk set her course: she finds her direction by learning and talking things through.

  • Mercury opposition Jupiter wide at 5.4°

    Big ideas and loose details: she thinks on a large scale, and the small print is where things get away from her.

  • The Sun opposition Jupiter wide at 6.5°

    She reaches for more than one life can hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.

  • The Sun conjunction North Node wide at 6.6°

    Her identity and her direction in life line up: the more fully she becomes herself, the further she goes.

  • Mercury opposition Uranus wide at 6.8°

    Her mind runs ahead of the conversation: she says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.

  • Pluto opposition North Node wide at 6.8°

    Old attachments hold her back from the way forward, and she grows by letting some things go.

  • Jupiter conjunction Pluto wide at 7.0°

    Large ambitions and the will to see them through: she works on a grand scale.

  • The Sun trine Neptune wide at 8.3°

    Imagination and identity work together: she can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
