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 Sagittarius
The Explorer. Honest, free and far-seeing.
15°57′
Moon in Libra
The Moon moved from Libra into Scorpio at 2:18 p.m. that day, local time: in Libra for a birth before then, in Scorpio for one after.
28°38′
Mercury in Scorpio
The Investigator. Hears what was left out.
25°58′
Venus in Sagittarius
The Adventurer. Love as an adventure.
23°11′
Mars in Libra
The Negotiator. A fighter for fairness.

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 Taurus
The direction her life grows in: Taurus, steady and sensual.
15°58′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
21°41′
Black Moon Lilith in Pisces
In Pisces, Lilith is a dreamer who wants no rescuing, with a private world all its own.
28°03′
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.
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 discipline (Saturn in Pisces) and her independence and her intensity (Uranus and Pluto, together in Virgo) face each other across the wheel, and her identity (the Sun in Sagittarius) took the strain: the part of her that worked hardest.

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 quincunx North Node exact at 0.0°
The way forward asked her to bend habits that felt like part of who she was.
Venus square Saturn almost exact at 0.1°
Love felt like something to be earned, and she held back until she was sure of it.
Saturn trine Neptune almost exact at 0.3°
Practical dreams: she gave ideals a shape and worked to make them real.
Venus square Uranus close at 1.0°
Love came in sudden starts and stops: she fell for people quickly and needed room just as quickly.
Saturn opposition Uranus close at 1.2°
Tradition and rebellion fought in her: she wanted security and freedom, and could rarely have both at once.
Uranus sextile Neptune close at 1.4°
Change and idealism went together: new ideas came wrapped in dreams of a better world.
