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.

Beyond the planetsNorth Node in Cancer, Chiron and Lilith
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 Cancer

    The direction her life grows in: Cancer, protective and caring.

    28°59′

  • Chiron in Virgo

    In Virgo, Chiron is the sense that no effort is ever quite enough, and a gift for patient, practical help.

    9°38′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Virgo

    In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.

    10°39′

The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.

PatternsStellium
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 drive, her optimism and her intensity (Mars, Jupiter and Pluto) gather in Leo, and that part of life draws her attention first.

Aspects by strength16 between the planets, the closest first
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 sextile Neptune almost exact at 0.4°

    She works for ideals: her drive comes alive for a cause, a role or a dream.

  • The Moon square Neptune close at 1.7°

    Her feelings and her imagination pull in different directions: she lives between what is real and what she longs for.

  • The Sun trine Neptune close at 1.8°

    Imagination and identity work together: she can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.

  • Uranus sextile Pluto close at 1.9°

    She can help change things at the root, and upheaval suits her.

  • The Sun sextile Mars close at 2.1°

    Her purpose and her drive work together: once she decides on something, she moves on it fast.

  • Mars conjunction North Node close at 2.2°

    Driven towards her path: she goes after the life she wants with real force.

  • Neptune sextile North Node close at 2.6°

    Imagination helps her forward, through art, ideals and care for others.

  • Mercury square Pluto close at 3.0°

    Her words have force: she speaks to persuade, and she keeps her own counsel until the right moment.

  • The Sun sextile Pluto wide at 3.4°

    A quiet strength: under pressure she grows more focused, and she knows how to start over.

  • The Sun sextile North Node wide at 4.3°

    The direction her life takes suits her: being herself and growing go hand in hand.

  • Venus square Jupiter wide at 4.7°

    She loves too much of a good thing: pleasure, praise and grand gestures run past what one life can use.

  • Saturn square Neptune wide at 5.0°

    The dream and the hard work seldom agree on terms: her discipline and her imagination ask different things of her.

  • The Sun conjunction Uranus wide at 5.2°

    Born original: her identity and her need for freedom are the same thing, and she surprises people, herself included.

  • Mars conjunction Pluto wide at 5.5°

    Concentrated force: when she wants something, she goes after it with everything.

  • Pluto conjunction North Node wide at 7.7°

    A path of transformation: her direction in life asks her to change herself completely, more than once.

  • The Sun conjunction Venus wide at 9.1°

    Charm comes naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things are close to her core.
