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 Virgo
The Fixer. Precise, useful and kind.

Moon in Capricorn
The Moon moved from Sagittarius into Capricorn at 11:12 a.m. that day, local time: in Sagittarius for a birth before then, in Capricorn for one after.

29°02′

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.
17°07′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
28°40′
Black Moon Lilith in Taurus
In Taurus, Lilith is an appetite for pleasure that sees no need to apologise.
14°18′
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 optimism and her imagination (the Sun, Jupiter and Neptune) gather in Virgo, 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.
Mars square Uranus almost exact at 0.2°
Restless and quick to rebel: she pushed against limits, and sudden decisions came with the territory.
Uranus square Pluto almost exact at 0.3°
Upheaval and the urge to break free ran strong, and she pushed for change rather than waiting for it.
Mercury quincunx Saturn almost exact at 0.5°
Speaking freely and speaking carefully took constant balancing, and she weighed words before letting them go.
Mars conjunction Pluto almost exact at 0.5°
Concentrated force: when she wanted something, she went after it with everything.
Venus opposition Saturn close at 1.3°
Love felt like something to be earned, and she held back until she was sure of it.
The Sun opposition North Node close at 1.4°
Being herself and growing asked for different things, and her biggest steps forward came when she stretched past her habits.

Saturn square Uranus wide at 5.8°

Mars opposition Saturn wide at 6.1°
Drive with the brakes on: she wanted to move, something held her back, and the friction made her tough.
The Sun sextile Mars wide at 6.8°

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.

Modes
The Moon changed sign that day; it is counted where it stood at noon.
No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through took deliberate effort.
