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 Leo
The Bright One. Warm, proud and generous.
23°00′
Moon in Gemini
The Moon moved from Gemini into Cancer at 7:13 p.m. that day, local time: in Gemini for a birth before then, in Cancer for one after.
25°44′
Mercury in Virgo
The Analyst. The editor’s eye.
19°52′
Venus in Leo
The Romantic. Grand, generous love.
2°42′
Mars in Taurus
The Stayer. Slow to start, impossible to stop.

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 Aquarius
The direction her life grows in: Aquarius, independent and original.
7°15′
Chiron in Cancer
In Cancer, Chiron is an early longing to belong somewhere, and a knack for making strangers feel at home.
22°32′
Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Lilith is a free mind that keeps only the beliefs it chose.
1°51′
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.
Stellium
Three or more planets gathered in one sign or one house, so that part of the chart speaks loudest.
In her chart, her discipline, her independence and her imagination (Saturn, Uranus and Neptune) gather in Capricorn, and that part of life draws her attention first.
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 drive (Mars in Taurus) and her intensity (Pluto in Scorpio) face each other across the wheel, and her identity (the Sun in Leo) takes the strain: the part of her that works hardest.
Grand trine
Three planets in an easy triangle, each in flowing contact with the other two: a gift that comes without effort.
In her chart, her mind, her drive and her discipline (Mercury in Virgo, Mars in Taurus and Saturn in Capricorn) make the triangle, so these come to her naturally.
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.
Mercury trine Saturn exact at 0.0°
A patient, exact mind: she chooses every word, and her thinking gets sharper with practice.
The Sun square Mars close at 1.3°
She fights hard for what she wants, and her temper is part of her courage.
Mercury trine Mars close at 1.9°
A quick, direct mind: she makes decisions fast and says what she means.
Mars trine Saturn close at 1.9°
Her drive and her discipline work together easily: she can push hard and keep going.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 2.9°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Venus conjunction Jupiter wide at 3.2°
A generous heart: love and good company come to her easily, and she shares both.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
The Sun quincunx Saturn wide at 3.2°
The wish to shine and the wish to be careful need steady adjusting: she moves forward a step, then checks it.
Venus opposition North Node wide at 4.6°
What feels comfortable in love and what helps her grow are different things, and she chooses between them more than once.
Saturn sextile Pluto wide at 4.7°
Endurance: she can work through hard times, and what she builds survives pressure.
Uranus conjunction Neptune wide at 6.2°
Visionary: the new and the ideal meet in her imagination.
Mars opposition Pluto wide at 6.7°
A fierce will: she meets opposition head on, and a fight brings out her full strength.
Saturn conjunction Neptune wide at 7.7°
She takes dreams seriously and gives them structure, and her ideals have to prove themselves.
Jupiter opposition North Node wide at 7.7°
Easy hopes and the harder way forward go different ways, and real growth comes from the harder one.
The Sun square Pluto wide at 7.9°
Nothing about her is halfway: she insists on running her own life, and the struggle makes her formidable.
