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 Taurus
The Gardener. Steady, sensual and sure.
25°01′
Moon in Taurus
The Moon moved from Aries into Taurus at 8:05 a.m. that day, local time: in Aries for a birth before then, in Taurus for one after.
1°57′
Mercury in Taurus
The Careful Thinker. Slow to decide, sure once decided.
4°53′
Venus in Aries
The Chaser. Love at first sight.

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 Libra
The direction her life grows in: Libra, graceful and fair.
24°11′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
2°54′
Black Moon Lilith in Gemini
In Gemini, Lilith is the quick tongue that says out loud what the room only thinks.
2°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.
Grand trine
Three planets in an easy triangle, each in flowing contact with the other two: a gift that comes without effort.
In her chart, her heart, her discipline and her imagination (Venus in Aries, Saturn in Leo and Neptune in Sagittarius) make the triangle, so these come to her naturally.

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.
Venus conjunction Mars exact at 0.0°
Magnetic: affection and desire come together in her, and people notice.
Jupiter quincunx Uranus exact at 0.0°
Her hopes and her restlessness keep changing places, and she redraws her plans more than once.
Saturn sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.7°
Endurance: she can work through hard times, and what she builds survives pressure.
The Sun quincunx North Node almost exact at 0.8°
The way forward asks her to bend habits that feel like part of who she is.
Venus trine Neptune close at 1.2°
A romantic with an artist’s eye: she sees the beauty in people and makes it visible to others.
Mars trine Neptune close at 1.2°
She works for ideals: her drive comes alive for a cause, a role or a dream.
