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.

Moon in Aries
The Moon moved from Pisces into Aries at 2:16 a.m. that day, local time: in Pisces for a birth before then, in Aries for one after.

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 Cancer
The direction her life grows in: Cancer, protective and caring.
3°00′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
17°57′
Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Lilith is a free mind that keeps only the beliefs it chose.
12°52′
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, her drive and her optimism (the Sun, Mercury, Mars and Jupiter) gather in Taurus, 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 trine Uranus almost exact at 0.4°
Sudden openings: she spots new chances early and jumps at them.
Mercury conjunction Mars almost exact at 0.8°
She thinks fast and speaks faster: her mind likes a contest, and her words have an edge.
Saturn trine North Node almost exact at 0.9°
Discipline helps her grow: patience and hard work keep her on course.
Venus sextile Mars close at 1.1°
Charm and desire work together: she knows what she wants in love and how to win it.
Mercury sextile North Node close at 1.4°
Her way with words helps her find her direction, and the right ideas come at the right time.
The Sun opposition Neptune close at 1.8°
The self she knows and the image others see drift apart at times, and she works to keep hold of the real one.
