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.

Beyond the planetsNorth Node in Cancer, 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 Cancer

    The direction her life grows in: Cancer, protective and caring.

    1°28′

  • Chiron in Pisces

    In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.

    18°02′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius

    In Sagittarius, Lilith is a free mind that keeps only the beliefs it chose.

    22°24′

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 mind, her independence and her intensity (Mercury, Uranus and Pluto) gather in Virgo, and that part of life draws her attention first.

Aspects by strength13 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.

  • Mars conjunction North Node almost exact at 0.5°

    Driven towards her path: she goes after the life she wants with real force.

  • Mercury conjunction Uranus close at 1.1°

    She thinks in leaps: brilliant, contrary and quick to get bored with the obvious.

  • Mars trine Saturn close at 1.3°

    Her drive and her discipline work together easily: she can push hard and keep going.

  • Saturn trine North Node close at 1.8°

    Discipline helps her grow: patience and hard work keep her on course.

  • Neptune sextile Pluto close at 2.3°

    A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.

  • Venus conjunction North Node wide at 3.2°

    Following her heart is following her path: the people and pleasures she loves lead her forward.

Show more aspectsShow fewer
  • Venus conjunction Mars wide at 3.7°

    Magnetic: affection and desire come together in her, and people notice.

  • Mercury opposition Saturn wide at 4.2°

    She doubts her own ideas before anyone else can, and so she checks every one twice.

  • Uranus conjunction Pluto wide at 4.3°

    Born into a time of upheaval: she wants radical change, and wants it at once.

  • The Sun square Neptune wide at 4.7°

    The self she knows and the image others see drift apart at times, and she works to keep hold of the real one.

  • Venus trine Saturn wide at 5.1°

    Loyal in love: she chooses carefully, and what she builds with people lasts.

  • Saturn opposition Uranus wide at 5.3°

    Tradition and rebellion fight in her: she wants security and freedom, and can rarely have both at once.

  • Mercury conjunction Pluto wide at 5.3°

    She thinks like a detective: nothing is taken at face value, and she remembers everything.
