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 Aries
The Pioneer. First in, first to try.
16°54′
Moon in Aquarius
The Moon moved from Aquarius into Pisces at 10:38 p.m. that day, local time: in Aquarius for a birth before then, in Pisces for one after.
24°31′
Mercury in Aries
The Spark. First to speak.
17°32′
Venus in Gemini
The Charmer. Love through conversation.
2°30′

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.
9°39′
Chiron in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.
10°49′
Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.
13°36′
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.
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 heart (Venus in Gemini) and her discipline (Saturn in Sagittarius) face each other across the wheel, and her intensity (Pluto in Leo) takes the strain: the part of her that works hardest.
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 drive (Mars in Capricorn) and her independence (Uranus in Cancer) face each other across the wheel, and her imagination (Neptune in Libra) takes the strain: the part of her that works 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.
Venus opposition Saturn almost exact at 0.2°
Love feels like something to be earned, and she holds back until she is sure of it.
The Sun conjunction Mercury almost exact at 0.6°
Her mind and her identity are close together: she speaks as she thinks, and her ideas are part of who she is.
Uranus square Neptune close at 1.2°
The urge for change and the longing for ideals clash, and she lives with both.
Mars quincunx Pluto close at 1.6°
Force and restraint keep trading places, and she learns when to let go.
The Moon opposition Pluto close at 1.8°
She loves hard and holds on hard, and letting go takes her a long time.
The Moon opposition Jupiter close at 2.9°
Her feelings run large: she wants more comfort, more company and more of everything than any one day gives.
