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.
1°18′
Moon in Leo
The Moon moved from Cancer into Leo at 9:02 a.m. that day, local time: in Cancer for a birth before then, in Leo for one after.
1°52′
Mercury in Leoretrograde
The Storyteller. A voice that carries.
17°40′
Venus in Libra
The Sweetheart. Grace, romance and balance.

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 Gemini
The direction her life grows in: Gemini, curious and quick-witted.
10°16′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
21°07′
Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Lilith is the outsider’s streak, at its best when it does not fit in.
5°22′
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 independence and her intensity (the Sun, Uranus and Pluto) gather in Virgo, and that part of life draws 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.
Mercury square Neptune almost exact at 0.3°
Facts and dreams blur together in her mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details matter.
Saturn opposition Uranus almost exact at 0.5°
Tradition and rebellion fight in her: she wants security and freedom, and can rarely have both at once.
Saturn opposition Pluto almost exact at 0.8°
Heavy demands and hard limits: she faces a great deal of pressure and comes out tougher for it.
The Moon square Mars almost exact at 0.8°
Quick feelings and a quick temper: she reacts first, and her courage comes from the same place as her flashes of anger.
Uranus conjunction Pluto close at 1.2°
Born into a time of upheaval: she wants radical change, and wants it at once.
The Sun sextile Mars close at 1.4°
Her purpose and her drive work together: once she decides on something, she moves on it fast.
