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 Cancer
The Protector. Home, memory and care.
24°30′
Moon in Cancer
The Nest-Maker. Home is the heart.
8°42′
Mercury in Leo
Mercury moved from Cancer into Leo at 8:26 a.m. that day, local time: in Cancer for a birth before then, in Leo for one after.
0°18′
Venus in Leo
The Romantic. Grand, generous love.

Mars in Gemini
The Multitasker. Quick with the comeback.

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.
10°47′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
29°51′
Black Moon Lilith in Leo
In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.
28°00′
The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.
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 trine Uranus almost exact at 0.1°
Quick and inventive in action: she moved fast, broke with habit and made sudden changes work.
Jupiter sextile Saturn almost exact at 0.7°
Hope and caution in balance: she dreamed big and planned carefully, and both helped.
Jupiter sextile Neptune almost exact at 0.7°
Faith and imagination together: she believed in people and ideals, and that belief was catching.
Saturn conjunction Neptune close at 1.3°
She took dreams seriously and gave them structure, and her ideals had to prove themselves.
The Sun quincunx Uranus close at 1.7°
Her restlessness kept testing her plans, so she changed course more than once to stay true to herself.
The Moon opposition North Node close at 2.1°
Home comforts and the way forward asked for different things, and growing meant leaving some familiar things behind.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Mercury conjunction Saturn close at 2.6°
Serious thoughts: she said less than she knew, and what she said held up.
Mercury sextile Jupiter wide at 3.2°
A generous, wide-ranging mind: she learned easily, told a good story and saw the big picture.
Mercury conjunction Neptune wide at 3.9°
A poet’s mind: she heard what went unsaid, and her best ideas came from somewhere hard to explain.
The Sun conjunction Mercury wide at 5.8°
Her mind and her identity were close together: she spoke as she thought, and her ideas were part of who she was.
Venus opposition Uranus wide at 6.2°
Love came in sudden starts and stops: she fell for people quickly and needed room just as quickly.
Pluto opposition North Node wide at 6.3°
Old attachments held her back from the way forward, and she grew by letting some things go.
The Sun conjunction Saturn wide at 8.4°
Serious from early on: purpose and duty were one thing to her, and she treated her own life as work to be done well.
