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.
25°25′
Moon in Libra
The Moon moved from Libra into Scorpio at 11:13 p.m. that day, local time: in Libra for a birth before then, in Scorpio for one after.
24°02′
Mercury in Leo
The Storyteller. A voice that carries.
7°21′
Venus in Virgo
The Quiet Romantic. Love in small attentions.
8°03′
Mars in Scorpio
The Strategist. Will under a still surface.
19°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.
9°26′
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.
9°56′
Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.
3°40′
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, her optimism and her imagination (the Sun, Mercury, Jupiter and Neptune) gather in Leo, and that part of life drew 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.
Venus sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.4°
She loved with depth and loyalty, and the bonds she formed changed both people.
Pluto trine North Node close at 1.0°
Deep change helped her forward: each time she started over, she went further.
Venus sextile North Node close at 1.4°
Love and friendship moved her forward: the people she cared for helped her find her way.
Mercury square North Node close at 2.1°
Old ideas and the way forward were at odds, and she learned new ways of thinking to move on.
Neptune square North Node close at 2.4°
Dreams and the way forward clashed, and growing meant trading some illusions for clear sight.
The Sun conjunction Jupiter close at 2.7°
Optimism at the centre of her: she expected things to go well, and that confidence won people over.

Uranus trine Pluto wide at 4.4°
She could help change things at the root, and upheaval suited her.
Venus conjunction Saturn wide at 4.4°

A poet’s mind: she heard what went unsaid, and her best ideas came from somewhere hard to explain.
Uranus trine North Node wide at 5.4°
Change helped her forward: she grew by trying the new.
Jupiter opposition Uranus wide at 5.9°
Restless hope: she wanted more freedom than any situation gave, and big changes came suddenly.

She fought hard for what she wanted, and her temper was part of her courage.
The Sun opposition Uranus wide at 8.6°
She needed room to be herself, and any rule that fit too tightly got broken.
