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 Pisces, 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 Pisces

    The direction her life grows in: Pisces, dreamy and compassionate.

    21°03′

  • Chiron in Aries

    In Aries, Chiron is a doubt about the right to go first, and with it a talent for giving others their nerve.

    4°05′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Cancer

    In Cancer, Lilith is a fierce need to belong, and no wish to look after anyone on command.

    23°27′

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

Aspects by strength17 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.

  • The Sun conjunction Jupiter almost exact at 0.3°

    Optimism at the centre of her: she expects things to go well, and that confidence wins people over.

  • Venus opposition North Node close at 1.1°

    What feels comfortable in love and what helps her grow are different things, and she chooses between them more than once.

  • Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.2°

    A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.

  • The Moon opposition North Node close at 1.6°

    Home comforts and the way forward ask for different things, and growing means leaving some familiar things behind.

  • Saturn quincunx Uranus close at 1.8°

    When to keep the rules and when to break them takes constant deciding.

  • The Moon conjunction Venus close at 2.7°

    Tenderness through and through: she needs beauty and affection the way others need air.

  • Mercury sextile Neptune close at 3.0°

    She thinks in pictures and music: her words carry a mood, and her imagination gives her ideas colour.

  • The Moon conjunction Pluto wide at 3.1°

    Intense, private feelings: she keeps an inner life few people see, and she guards it well.

  • Mercury conjunction Pluto wide at 4.2°

    She thinks like a detective: nothing is taken at face value, and she remembers everything.

  • The Sun square Mars wide at 4.3°

    She fights hard for what she wants, and her temper is part of her courage.

  • Mars square Jupiter wide at 4.6°

    She takes on more than any one person can, and her boldness runs ahead of her plans.

  • Pluto opposition North Node wide at 4.7°

    Old attachments hold her back from the way forward, and she grows by letting some things go.

  • Mars trine Saturn wide at 4.7°

    Her drive and her discipline work together easily: she can push hard and keep going.

  • Mercury conjunction Uranus wide at 5.2°

    She thinks in leaps: brilliant, contrary and quick to get bored with the obvious.

  • Venus conjunction Pluto wide at 5.8°

    A deep, private heart: she draws people in and keeps some feelings locked away.

  • Neptune trine North Node wide at 5.9°

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

  • Mars square Uranus wide at 6.5°

    Restless and quick to rebel: she pushes against limits, and sudden decisions come with the territory.

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.

Fire · instinct and enthusiasm0
Earth · the practical and the solid6

Modes

Fixed · holding steady2
Mutable · adapting4

No fire at all, so the bold first move comes by choice rather than by instinct.
