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°00′
Moon in Capricorn
The Steady Hand. Steady feeling, kept in check.
19°41′

Venus in Leo
The Romantic. Grand, generous love.

Mars in Taurus
The Stayer. Slow to start, impossible to stop.

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 Leo
The direction her life grows in: Leo, warm and dramatic.
9°28′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
10°52′
Black Moon Lilith in Virgo
In Virgo, Lilith is a set of private standards, kept for their own sake and not to please.
25°55′
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.
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 (Jupiter in Pisces) and her intensity (Pluto in Virgo) face each other across the wheel, and her mind (Mercury in Gemini) takes the strain: the part of her that works hardest.
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 drive (Mars in Taurus) and her imagination (Neptune in Scorpio) face each other across the wheel, and her discipline (Saturn in Aquarius) takes the strain: the part of her that works 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.
Saturn square Neptune almost exact at 0.3°
The dream and the hard work seldom agree on terms: her discipline and her imagination ask different things of her.
Mercury square Jupiter almost exact at 0.6°
Big ideas and loose details: she thinks on a large scale, and the small print is where things get away from her.
The Sun sextile Uranus almost exact at 0.7°
Independence comes easily: she does things her own way, and people find it refreshing rather than rude.
Mercury quincunx Neptune almost exact at 0.8°
Meaning comes to her before the words do, and clear speech follows the feeling.
Mercury trine Saturn close at 1.1°
A patient, exact mind: she chooses every word, and her thinking gets sharper with practice.
Saturn opposition North Node close at 1.3°
Duty and growth compete: what she owes others and where she needs to go call for hard choices.

Jupiter trine Neptune close at 1.4°

Neptune square North Node close at 1.5°

Mercury sextile North Node close at 2.4°
Her way with words helps her find her direction, and the right ideas come at the right time.
Jupiter quincunx North Node close at 3.0°
Some hopes have to be let go to fit the way forward, and she chooses which ones.
Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 3.2°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Mars sextile Jupiter wide at 3.7°
Big drive and big confidence: she goes after large goals, and her enthusiasm carries others along.
Mercury square Pluto wide at 4.1°
Her words have force: she speaks to persuade, and she keeps her own counsel until the right moment.
Jupiter opposition Pluto wide at 4.7°
She wants more power than comes easily, and the struggle for it shapes her life.
Mars opposition Neptune wide at 5.1°
Drive and dreams mix uneasily: the goal is clear to her, and the way to it harder to see.
Mars square Saturn wide at 5.4°
Drive with the brakes on: she wants to move, something holds her back, and the friction makes her tough.
Venus conjunction North Node wide at 6.5°
Following her heart is following her path: the people and pleasures she loves lead her forward.
