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 Capricorn
The Architect. Ambitious, patient and dry.
18°44′
Moon in Capricorn
The Moon moved from Capricorn into Aquarius at 7:52 p.m. that day, local time: in Capricorn for a birth before then, in Aquarius for one after.
25°28′
Mercury in Sagittarius
The Philosopher. The big picture.
28°42′
Venus in Aquarius
The Kindred Spirit. Friend first, lover too.

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 Libra
The direction her life grows in: Libra, graceful and fair.
17°30′
Chiron in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.
20°19′
Black Moon Lilith in Taurus
In Taurus, Lilith is an appetite for pleasure that sees no need to apologise.
5°56′
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.
The Moon sextile Jupiter almost exact at 0.1°
Good-hearted and generous: she feels looked after by life, and she passes that on.
The Sun trine Mars almost exact at 0.3°
Her purpose and her drive work together: once she decides on something, she moves on it fast.
Venus quincunx Pluto almost exact at 0.9°
Affection and the need for control keep getting in each other’s way, and trust takes her time.
The Sun square North Node close at 1.2°
Being herself and growing ask for different things, and her biggest steps forward come when she stretches past her habits.
Mars quincunx North Node close at 1.6°
She keeps adjusting how hard she pushes to fit where her life is going.
Mercury conjunction Saturn close at 1.8°
Serious thoughts: she says less than she knows, and what she says holds up.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Uranus sextile North Node close at 2.1°
Change helps her forward: she grows by trying the new.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 2.8°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
The Sun quincunx Uranus wide at 3.4°
Her restlessness keeps testing her plans, so she changes course more than once to stay true to herself.
Saturn trine Pluto wide at 3.5°
Endurance: she can work through hard times, and what she builds survives pressure.
Mars square Uranus wide at 3.7°
Restless and quick to rebel: she pushes against limits, and sudden decisions come with the territory.
Venus square Neptune wide at 3.7°
She loves the dream of a person, and the real one has to compete with it.
Mercury trine Pluto wide at 5.2°
A probing mind: she gets to the bottom of things, and her words have power when she chooses to use them.
Mars opposition Jupiter wide at 6.5°
She takes on more than any one person can, and her boldness runs ahead of her plans.
