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 Scorpio
The Detective. Intense, private and loyal.
9°20′
Moon in Pisces
The Moon moved from Aquarius into Pisces at 7:10 a.m. that day, local time: in Aquarius for a birth before then, in Pisces for one after.
2°28′
Mercury in Scorpio
The Investigator. Hears what was left out.
23°15′
Venus in Sagittariusretrograde
The Adventurer. Love as an adventure.

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 Scorpio
The direction her life grows in: Scorpio, intense and private.
17°50′
Chiron in Cancer
In Cancer, Chiron is an early longing to belong somewhere, and a knack for making strangers feel at home.
9°56′
Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.
24°30′
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 mind (Mercury in Scorpio) and her independence (Uranus in Taurus) face each other across the wheel, and her optimism (Jupiter 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.
Jupiter quincunx Neptune almost exact at 0.2°
Her ideals and her beliefs need constant matching up, and she keeps asking what she really believes.
Venus sextile Mars almost exact at 0.3°
Charm and desire work together: she knows what she wants in love and how to win it.
Mercury square Jupiter almost exact at 0.5°
Big ideas and loose details: she thinks on a large scale, and the small print is where things get away from her.
Mercury sextile Neptune almost exact at 0.7°
She thinks in pictures and music: her words carry a mood, and her imagination gives her ideas colour.
Uranus opposition North Node close at 1.8°
The way forward asks for steadiness, and the urge for change keeps breaking in.
The Moon square Venus close at 2.3°
What comforts her and what she loves are different things, so her heart and her moods keep negotiating.

Venus trine Pluto wide at 3.3°
She loves with depth and loyalty, and the bonds she forms change both people.
The Sun quincunx Saturn wide at 3.4°

Neptune sextile North Node wide at 4.7°
Imagination helps her forward, through art, ideals and care for others.
Jupiter square North Node wide at 4.9°
Easy hopes and the harder way forward go different ways, and real growth comes from the harder one.

Uranus trine Neptune wide at 6.5°

The Sun opposition Uranus wide at 6.7°
She needs room to be herself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.
Mercury opposition Uranus wide at 7.2°
Her mind runs ahead of the conversation: she says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.
Mars opposition Saturn wide at 7.6°
Drive with the brakes on: she wants to move, something holds her back, and the friction makes her tough.
The Sun square Pluto wide at 7.8°
Nothing about her is halfway: she insists on running her own life, and the struggle makes her formidable.
The Sun conjunction North Node wide at 8.5°
Her identity and her direction in life line up: the more fully she becomes herself, the further she goes.
