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.
7°50′
Moon in Cancer
The Moon moved from Cancer into Leo at 3:14 p.m. that day, local time: in Cancer for a birth before then, in Leo for one after.
28°08′
Mercury in Capricorn
The Planner. Foundations first.
27°25′
Venus in Aquarius
The Kindred Spirit. Friend first, lover too.
21°24′
Mars in Libra
The Negotiator. A fighter for fairness.

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 Sagittarius
The direction her life grows in: Sagittarius, free and far-ranging.
24°17′
Chiron in Gemini
In Gemini, Chiron is an old fear of not being heard, which becomes a gift for finding the words others lack.
19°32′
Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Lilith is an intensity and a private power that stay unexplained.
9°46′
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 Capricorn, and that part of life drew her attention first.
T-square
Two planets pull against each other, and a third stands at right angles to both, where the strain gathers.
In her chart, her feelings and her intensity (the Moon and Pluto, together in Cancer) and her mind (Mercury in Capricorn) face each other across the wheel, and her drive (Mars in Libra) took the strain: the part of her that worked hardest.
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.
The Moon conjunction Pluto almost exact at 0.1°
Intense, private feelings: she kept an inner life few people saw, and she guarded it well.
Jupiter trine Uranus almost exact at 0.5°
Sudden openings: she spotted new chances early and jumped at them.
Mercury opposition Pluto almost exact at 0.6°
Her words had force: she spoke to persuade, and she kept her own counsel until the right moment.
The Moon opposition Mercury almost exact at 0.7°
Her head and her feelings argued: she knew what she thought before she knew what she felt, or the other way round.
Mercury square Mars close at 1.3°
Sharp words and a sharp mind: she argued well, sometimes too well, and a debate was a kind of sport to her.
The Sun conjunction Jupiter close at 1.6°
Optimism at the centre of her: she expected things to go well, and that confidence won people over.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Saturn opposition Neptune close at 1.8°
The dream and the hard work seldom agreed on terms: her discipline and her imagination asked different things of her.
Mars sextile North Node close at 1.8°
Courage moved her forward, and each bold step took her further along her path.
Mars square Pluto close at 2.0°
A fierce will: she met opposition head on, and a fight brought out her full strength.
The Moon square Mars close at 2.0°
Quick feelings and a quick temper: she reacted first, and her courage came from the same place as her flashes of anger.
The Sun trine Uranus close at 2.1°
Independence came easily: she did things her own way, and people found it refreshing rather than rude.
Venus sextile North Node close at 2.9°
Love and friendship moved her forward: the people she cared for helped her find her way.
Venus trine Mars wide at 4.7°
Charm and desire worked together: she knew what she wanted in love and how to win it.
Neptune square North Node wide at 5.3°
Dreams and the way forward clashed, and growing meant trading some illusions for clear sight.
Chart signature
What’s this?Close
The chart’s balance at a glance: which of the four elements and three modes it leans on, which body is most connected, and any body standing alone.
Elements
Modes
The Moon changed sign that day; it is counted where it stood at noon.
No fire at all, so the bold first move came by choice rather than by instinct.
