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 Aries
The Pioneer. First in, first to try.
2°14′
Moon in Capricorn
The Moon moved from Sagittarius into Capricorn at 8:49 a.m. that day, local time: in Sagittarius for a birth before then, in Capricorn for one after.
1°47′
Mercury in Pisces
The Poet. Knowing without explaining.
22°38′
Venus in Pisces
The Tender Heart. Love without limits.
9°30′

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.
13°23′
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.
26°08′
Black Moon Lilith in Aries
In Aries, Lilith is a temper and an independence that ask nobody’s permission.
15°57′
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 feelings (the Moon in Capricorn) and her drive (Mars in Cancer) face each other across the wheel, and her identity (the Sun in Aries) 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.
The Moon opposition Mars almost exact at 0.1°
Quick feelings and a quick temper: she reacts first, and her courage comes from the same place as her flashes of anger.
The Sun square Mars almost exact at 0.4°
She fights hard for what she wants, and her temper is part of her courage.
The Sun square the Moon almost exact at 0.5°
The self she shows the world and the self she comes home to want different things, and she makes room for both.
Venus quincunx Pluto close at 1.1°
Affection and the need for control keep getting in each other’s way, and trust takes her time.
Mars sextile Jupiter close at 2.7°
Big drive and big confidence: she goes after large goals, and her enthusiasm carries others along.
Venus trine Uranus wide at 3.1°
She loves the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all her own.
Show more aspectsShow fewer

Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 3.4°

Mercury trine Saturn wide at 3.4°

Venus trine North Node wide at 3.9°
Love and friendship move her forward: the people she cares for help her find her way.
The Sun quincunx Uranus wide at 4.2°

Venus square Neptune wide at 4.5°
She loves the dream of a person, and the real one has to compete with it.
Mars trine Uranus wide at 4.6°
Quick and inventive in action: she moves fast, breaks with habit and makes sudden changes work.
The Sun trine Saturn wide at 6.2°

Uranus conjunction North Node wide at 7.0°
An unusual path: her direction in life comes through sudden turns and fresh starts.
Jupiter opposition Uranus wide at 7.3°
Restless hope: she wants more freedom than any situation gives, and big changes come suddenly.
The Sun opposition Pluto wide at 8.3°
Nothing about her is halfway: she insists on running her own life, and the struggle makes her formidable.
