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 Gemini
The Messenger. Curious and many-sided.
4°04′
Moon in Aquarius
The Moon moved from Capricorn into Aquarius at 4:26 a.m. that day, local time: in Capricorn for a birth before then, in Aquarius for one after.
4°31′
Mercury in Taurus
The Careful Thinker. Slow to decide, sure once decided.
13°39′
Venus in Cancer
The Nurturer. Love that makes a home.
3°44′
Mars in Gemini
The Multitasker. Quick with the comeback.

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 Pisces
The direction her life grows in: Pisces, dreamy and compassionate.
7°31′
Chiron in Aries
In Aries, Chiron is a doubt about the right to go first, and with it a talent for giving others their nerve.
9°22′
Black Moon Lilith in Leo
In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.
18°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.
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 identity, her feelings and her independence (the Sun in Gemini, the Moon in Aquarius and Uranus in Libra) make the triangle, so these come 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 square Pluto almost exact at 0.3°
A fierce will: she meets opposition head on, and a fight brings out her full strength.
The Moon trine Uranus almost exact at 0.3°
Her feelings like freedom: she needs space in close ties and gives it back just as easily.
The Sun trine the Moon almost exact at 0.5°
Her purpose and her feelings are on the same side: the life she chooses and the comfort she needs go together.
The Sun trine Uranus almost exact at 0.7°
Independence comes easily: she does things her own way, and people find it refreshing rather than rude.
Venus square Uranus close at 1.1°
Love comes in sudden starts and stops: she falls for people quickly and needs room just as quickly.
Mercury conjunction Saturn close at 1.4°
Serious thoughts: she says less than she knows, and what she says holds up.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Mars trine Jupiter close at 2.3°
Big drive and big confidence: she goes after large goals, and her enthusiasm carries others along.
Uranus quincunx North Node close at 2.7°
Sudden changes keep shifting the way forward, and she adapts each time.
The Sun square North Node wide at 3.5°
Being herself and growing ask for different things, and her biggest steps forward come when she stretches past her habits.
Venus trine North Node wide at 3.8°
Love and friendship move her forward: the people she cares for help her find her way.
The Sun opposition Neptune wide at 4.7°
The self she knows and the image others see drift apart at times, and she works to keep hold of the real one.
Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 4.7°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Chart signature
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.
Elements
Modes
The Moon changed sign that day; it is counted where it stood at noon.
No fire at all, so the bold first move comes by choice rather than by instinct.
