The chart, fact by fact
Planets

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.

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 Capricorn
The direction her life grows in: Capricorn, ambitious and patient.
28°58′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
26°21′
Black Moon Lilith in Cancer
In Cancer, Lilith is a fierce need to belong, and no wish to look after anyone on command.
15°40′
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 feelings, her heart, her discipline and her intensity (the Sun, the Moon, Venus, Saturn and Pluto) gather in Cancer, and that part of life drew 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.
Mercury square Mars almost exact at 0.1°
Sharp words and a sharp mind: she argued well, sometimes too well, and a debate was a kind of sport to her.
Saturn quincunx Uranus almost exact at 0.6°
When to keep the rules and when to break them took constant deciding.
Jupiter square Neptune almost exact at 0.7°
Her hopes ran ahead of what was real, and she learned to check a beautiful idea against the facts.
The Moon sextile Mars close at 1.0°
Her feelings turned straight into action: when something mattered, she did something about it.
Mars sextile Saturn close at 1.3°
Her drive and her discipline worked together easily: she could push hard and keep going.
Jupiter square North Node close at 1.8°
Easy hopes and the harder way forward went different ways, and real growth came from the harder one.

Mercury trine Uranus close at 1.9°
A quick, original mind: ideas arrived in flashes, and she saw answers others missed.
Mars quincunx Uranus close at 1.9°
Effort and restlessness kept catching each other off guard, and her plans changed at short notice.
Jupiter sextile Pluto close at 2.2°
Ambition with depth: she knew how to build influence, and she used it to make big changes.
The Moon conjunction Saturn close at 2.3°
Self-contained: she kept her feelings in order, and she gave comfort in practical ways rather than in words.
Neptune opposition North Node close at 2.5°
Dreams and the way forward clashed, and growing meant trading some illusions for clear sight.
The Moon conjunction Venus wide at 3.1°
Tenderness through and through: she needed beauty and affection the way others needed air.
Venus sextile Mars wide at 4.1°
Charm and desire worked together: she knew what she wanted in love and how to win it.
The Sun conjunction Venus wide at 4.3°
Charm came naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things were close to her core.
Venus conjunction Saturn wide at 5.4°
Serious about love: she gave affection slowly, and once given, it stayed given.
The Sun conjunction Pluto wide at 6.0°
Intensity at the centre: she wanted the whole truth about everything, herself first, and she remade herself more than once to reach it.
