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.

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.
23°52′
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.
6°09′
Black Moon Lilith in Virgo
In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.
14°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 mind, her heart and her imagination (Mercury, Venus and Neptune) gather in Sagittarius, 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.
Jupiter sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.1°
Ambition with depth: she knows how to build influence, and she uses it to make big changes.
The Moon trine Mars almost exact at 0.3°
Her feelings turn straight into action: when something matters, she does something about it.
Mars square North Node close at 1.0°
Old fights and the way forward disagree, and she grows by choosing which battles matter.
Mercury square Pluto close at 1.0°
Her words have force: she speaks to persuade, and she keeps her own counsel until the right moment.
The Sun opposition the Moon close at 1.8°
The self she shows the world and the self she comes home to want different things, and she makes room for both.
Venus conjunction Neptune close at 2.0°
Romance without limits: she falls for ideals as much as people, and her taste runs to the dreamy and the beautiful.

The Sun sextile Mars close at 2.0°
Her purpose and her drive work together: once she decides on something, she moves on it fast.
Saturn quincunx Uranus close at 2.2°
When to keep the rules and when to break them takes constant deciding.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 2.6°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Jupiter conjunction Neptune close at 2.8°

Venus conjunction Jupiter wide at 4.8°
A generous heart: love and good company come to her easily, and she shares both.
The Sun trine Saturn wide at 5.1°
Purpose and patience work as a team: she builds slowly and gets better with every year.
Jupiter square North Node wide at 5.7°
Easy hopes and the harder way forward go different ways, and real growth comes from the harder one.
Mars conjunction Jupiter wide at 6.7°
Enthusiasm at full speed: she charges at life with confidence, and setbacks slow her only briefly.
Mars opposition Saturn wide at 7.1°
Drive with the brakes on: she wants to move, something holds her back, and the friction makes her tough.
The Sun square Uranus wide at 7.3°
She needs room to be herself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.
