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.
28°21′
Moon in Leo
The Moon moved from Leo into Virgo at 4:33 p.m. that day, local time: in Leo for a birth before then, in Virgo for one after.
27°19′
Mercury in Gemini
The Quick Wit. The messenger at home.
17°27′
Venus in Gemini
The Charmer. Love through conversation.
6°55′
Mars in Virgo
The Craftsperson. The craftsman’s drive.

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 Aries
The direction her life grows in: Aries, bold and direct.
10°56′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
21°23′
Black Moon Lilith in Pisces
In Pisces, Lilith is a dreamer who wants no rescuing, with a private world all its own.
24°46′
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 heart (the Sun, Mercury and Venus) gather in Gemini, and that part of life drew her attention first.
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 optimism and her intensity (Jupiter and Pluto, together in Cancer) and her discipline (Saturn in Capricorn) face each other across the wheel, and her independence (Uranus in Aries) took the strain: the part of her that worked 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.
Uranus square Pluto almost exact at 0.9°
Upheaval and the urge to break free ran strong, and she pushed for change rather than waiting for it.
Mercury sextile Uranus close at 1.4°
A quick, original mind: ideas arrived in flashes, and she saw answers others missed.
Venus square Mars close at 1.5°
In love she wanted tenderness and a chase at once, and her relationships were rarely calm.
Saturn opposition Pluto close at 1.7°
Heavy demands and hard limits: she faced a great deal of pressure and came out tougher for it.
Mars conjunction Neptune close at 2.1°
Action guided by imagination: she moved on instinct and feeling, and she gave her all to a vision.
Jupiter opposition Saturn close at 2.6°
Growth and caution kept checking each other: she moved forward in bursts, then paused to consolidate.

The Sun sextile Neptune wide at 5.0°

Jupiter square Uranus wide at 5.3°
Restless hope: she wanted more freedom than any situation gave, and big changes came suddenly.
Uranus conjunction North Node wide at 8.0°
An unusual path: her direction in life came through sudden turns and fresh starts.
