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 Aquarius
The Sun moved from Aquarius into Pisces at 11:51 p.m. that day, local time: in Aquarius for a birth before then, in Pisces 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 Taurus
The direction her life grows in: Taurus, steady and sensual.
12°54′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
2°13′
Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Lilith is a free mind that keeps only the beliefs it chose.
7°18′
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 optimism and her imagination (Venus in Pisces, Jupiter in Scorpio and Neptune in Cancer) make the triangle, so these came 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.
Mars trine North Node almost exact at 0.4°
Courage moved her forward, and each bold step took her further along her path.
The Moon square Mercury almost exact at 0.5°
Her head and her feelings argued: she knew what she thought before she knew what she felt, or the other way round.
Venus trine Neptune almost exact at 0.5°
A romantic with an artist’s eye: she saw the beauty in people and made it visible to others.
Mars sextile Jupiter close at 1.1°
Big drive and big confidence: she went after large goals, and her enthusiasm carried others along.
Uranus quincunx Pluto close at 1.2°
Freedom and control needed constant adjusting, and she changed in stages rather than all at once.
Jupiter opposition North Node close at 1.5°
Easy hopes and the harder way forward went different ways, and real growth came from the harder one.

The Sun sextile Saturn close at 2.2°
Purpose and patience worked as a team: she built slowly and got better with every year.
The Sun trine Pluto wide at 3.5°
A quiet strength: under pressure she grew more focused, and she knew how to start over.
The Moon opposition North Node wide at 3.9°
Home comforts and the way forward asked for different things, and growing meant leaving some familiar things behind.
Mercury square North Node wide at 4.3°
Old ideas and the way forward were at odds, and she learned new ways of thinking to move on.
Saturn square Uranus wide at 4.5°
Tradition and rebellion fought in her: she wanted security and freedom, and could rarely have both at once.
Jupiter trine Neptune wide at 4.8°
Faith and imagination together: she believed in people and ideals, and that belief was catching.
Venus trine Jupiter wide at 5.3°
Affection came to her with generosity attached: her heart and her optimism helped each other.
Mercury square Jupiter wide at 5.8°
Big ideas and loose details: she thought on a large scale, and the small print was where things got away from her.
Mars opposition Neptune wide at 5.9°
Drive and dreams mixed uneasily: the goal was clear to her, and the way to it harder to see.
Venus square Pluto wide at 6.3°
Love came with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where she stood.

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.

No fire at all, so the bold first move came by choice rather than by instinct.
