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.

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.
16°49′
Chiron in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.
20°45′
Black Moon Lilith in Taurus
In Taurus, Lilith is an appetite for pleasure that sees no need to apologise.
6°41′
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 identity, her mind and her discipline (the Sun, Mercury and Saturn) gather in Capricorn, and that part of life draws her attention first.
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 Sun sextile Jupiter close at 1.1°
Her confidence comes easily and spreads: she thinks big, and other people want to come along.
Mercury sextile Neptune close at 1.4°
She thinks in pictures and music: her words carry a mood, and her imagination gives her ideas colour.
Uranus sextile North Node close at 1.7°
Change helps her forward: she grows by trying the new.
Saturn trine Pluto close at 2.6°
Endurance: she can work through hard times, and what she builds survives pressure.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 3.0°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Venus opposition Uranus wide at 3.7°
Love comes in sudden starts and stops: she falls for people quickly and needs room just as quickly.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
The Moon opposition North Node wide at 4.1°
Home comforts and the way forward ask for different things, and growing means leaving some familiar things behind.
Mercury trine Pluto wide at 4.4°
A probing mind: she gets to the bottom of things, and her words have power when she chooses to use them.
Venus square Neptune wide at 4.6°
She loves the dream of a person, and the real one has to compete with it.
The Sun trine Mars wide at 4.8°
Her purpose and her drive work together: once she decides on something, she moves on it fast.
Venus trine North Node wide at 5.4°
Love and friendship move her forward: the people she cares for help her find her way.
Mars square Uranus wide at 5.7°
Restless and quick to rebel: she pushes against limits, and sudden decisions come with the territory.
Mars opposition Jupiter wide at 5.8°
She takes on more than any one person can, and her boldness runs ahead of her plans.
Mercury conjunction Saturn wide at 7.0°
Serious thoughts: she says less than she knows, and what she says holds up.
