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 Gemini
The Messenger. Curious and many-sided.
29°08′
Moon in Leo
The Moon moved from Cancer into Leo at 5:37 a.m. that day, local time: in Cancer for a birth before then, in Leo for one after.
4°00′
Mercury in Cancer
The Remembering Mind. A memory for tone.
23°22′
Venus in Gemini
The Charmer. Love through conversation.
9°03′

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 Gemini
The direction her life grows in: Gemini, curious and quick-witted.
2°20′
Chiron in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Chiron is a wariness about trust that runs deep, and the strength to stay close when others are at their lowest.
2°24′
Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.
15°43′
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 heart and her independence (the Sun, Venus and Uranus) gather in Gemini, 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.
Mercury sextile Mars almost exact at 0.4°
A quick, direct mind: she makes decisions fast and says what she means.
Venus trine Neptune close at 1.0°
A romantic with an artist’s eye: she sees the beauty in people and makes it visible to others.
Saturn sextile Neptune close at 1.2°
Practical dreams: she gives ideals a shape and works to make them real.
Venus sextile Saturn close at 2.2°
Loyal in love: she chooses carefully, and what she builds with people lasts.
Venus sextile Pluto close at 2.7°
She loves with depth and loyalty, and the bonds she forms change both people.
Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 3.7°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
