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 Aries, 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 Aries

    The direction her life grows in: Aries, bold and direct.

    23°28′

  • Chiron in Sagittarius

    In Sagittarius, Chiron is a restless question about what it all means, and a gift for lending others a wider view.

    4°13′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Aries

    In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.

    7°28′

The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.

PatternsStellium, Yod
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 heart and her independence (the Sun, Venus and Uranus) gather in Cancer, and that part of life draws her attention first.

Yod

Two planets in easy contact both point awkwardly at a third, which becomes the focus: a talent that takes constant adjusting.

In her chart, her identity (the Sun in Cancer) and her discipline (Saturn in Virgo) both point at her optimism (Jupiter in Aquarius), the part of her that keeps needing adjustment and gives her life its focus.

Aspects by strength14 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.

  • The Sun conjunction Uranus almost exact at 0.1°

    Born original: her identity and her need for freedom are the same thing, and she surprises people, herself included.

  • Jupiter quincunx Uranus almost exact at 0.2°

    Her hopes and her restlessness keep changing places, and she redraws her plans more than once.

  • The Sun quincunx Jupiter almost exact at 0.4°

    She keeps fitting her ambitions to her purpose, and some big plans have to wait.

  • The Sun sextile Saturn almost exact at 0.7°

    Purpose and patience work as a team: she builds slowly and gets better with every year.

  • Saturn sextile Uranus almost exact at 0.8°

    Old and new sit well together: she can change things without throwing out what works.

  • Jupiter quincunx Saturn close at 1.1°

    When to expand and when to hold back takes constant rethinking.

Show more aspectsShow fewer
  • Mercury conjunction Mars close at 1.4°

    She thinks fast and speaks faster: her mind likes a contest, and her words have an edge.

  • The Moon square Pluto close at 1.5°

    She loves hard and holds on hard, and letting go takes her a long time.

  • Mercury trine Neptune close at 2.0°

    She thinks in pictures and music: her words carry a mood, and her imagination gives her ideas colour.

  • Neptune sextile Pluto close at 2.5°

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

  • Mars trine Neptune wide at 3.5°

    She works for ideals: her drive comes alive for a cause, a role or a dream.

  • Mercury sextile Pluto wide at 4.5°

    A probing mind: she gets to the bottom of things, and her words have power when she chooses to use them.

  • Venus square North Node wide at 4.8°

    What feels comfortable in love and what helps her grow are different things, and she chooses between them more than once.

  • Venus square Neptune wide at 6.2°

    She loves the dream of a person, and the real one has to compete with it.
