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 Cancer
The Protector. Home, memory and care.
10°19′
Moon in Aries
The Moon moved from Pisces into Aries at 7:48 a.m. that day, local time: in Pisces for a birth before then, in Aries for one after.
2°09′

Venus in Leo
The Romantic. Grand, generous love.
24°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 Gemini
The direction her life grows in: Gemini, curious and quick-witted.
24°58′
Chiron in Gemini
In Gemini, Chiron is an old fear of not being heard, which becomes a gift for finding the words others lack.
0°42′
Black Moon Lilith in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Lilith is the outsider’s streak, at its best when it does not fit in.
11°50′
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 and her drive (the Sun, Mercury and Mars) gather in Cancer, and that part of life draws her attention first.
Stellium
Three or more planets gathered in one sign or one house, so that part of the chart speaks loudest.
In her chart, her optimism, her independence and her imagination (Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune) gather in Sagittarius, 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.
The Moon trine Jupiter exact at 0.0°
Good-hearted and generous: she feels looked after by life, and she passes that on.
Mercury quincunx Jupiter exact at 0.0°
The facts and the bigger picture need constant reconciling, and she keeps checking one against the other.
The Moon square Mercury almost exact at 0.1°
Her head and her feelings argue: she knows what she thinks before she knows what she feels, or the other way round.
The Moon square Mars almost exact at 0.2°
Quick feelings and a quick temper: she reacts first, and her courage comes from the same place as her flashes of anger.
Saturn sextile Neptune almost exact at 0.2°
Practical dreams: she gives ideals a shape and works to make them real.
Mars quincunx Jupiter almost exact at 0.2°
Drive and hope keep going in slightly different directions, and she aims again and again.
