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 Taurus
The Gardener. Steady, sensual and sure.
3°24′
Moon in Gemini
The Moon moved from Gemini into Cancer at 10:14 p.m. that day, local time: in Gemini for a birth before then, in Cancer for one after.
23°52′
Mercury in Aries
The Spark. First to speak.
22°46′
Venus in Aries
The Chaser. Love at first sight.
15°04′

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.
9°59′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
5°32′
Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio
In Scorpio, Lilith is an intensity and a private power that stay unexplained.
16°22′
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 mind, her heart, her optimism and her independence (Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and Uranus) gather in Aries, 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 square Pluto almost exact at 0.1°
Love came with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where she stood.
Mercury conjunction Jupiter close at 2.1°
She loved ideas, the bigger the better, and she could talk anyone into hoping.
Jupiter trine Saturn close at 2.1°
Hope and caution in balance: she dreamed big and planned carefully, and both helped.
Mars square North Node close at 2.5°
Old fights and the way forward disagreed, and she grew by choosing which battles mattered.
Mars trine Pluto close at 2.7°
Stamina and willpower: she kept going long after others stopped, and she did her best work under pressure.
Venus trine Saturn wide at 3.5°
Loyal in love: she chose carefully, and what she built with people lasted.

Mercury trine Neptune wide at 3.7°
She thought in pictures and music: her words carried a mood, and her imagination gave her ideas colour.
Mercury trine Saturn wide at 4.2°
A patient, exact mind: she chose every word, and her thinking got sharper with practice.
Uranus sextile North Node wide at 4.9°
Change helped her forward: she grew by trying the new.
Jupiter square Pluto wide at 5.6°
She wanted more power than came easily, and the struggle for it shaped her life.
Venus conjunction Jupiter wide at 5.6°
A generous heart: love and good company came to her easily, and she shared both.
Jupiter trine Neptune wide at 5.8°
Faith and imagination together: she believed in people and ideals, and that belief was catching.
Mars square Saturn wide at 6.2°
Drive with the brakes on: she wanted to move, something held her back, and the friction made her tough.
The Sun trine Neptune wide at 7.0°
Imagination and identity worked together: she could become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
