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.
16°47′
Moon in Gemini
The Moon moved from Gemini into Cancer at 4:50 p.m. that day, local time: in Gemini for a birth before then, in Cancer for one after.
26°56′
Mercury in Scorpio
The Investigator. Hears what was left out.
26°02′
Venus in Scorpio
The Devotee. All or nothing.
17°08′
Mars in Sagittarius
The Champion. The long shot.
23°59′

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.
11°46′
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.
3°49′
Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Lilith is a free mind that keeps only the beliefs it chose.
24°11′
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 and her optimism (Mercury, Venus and Jupiter) gather in Scorpio, 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.
Venus conjunction Jupiter close at 1.1°
A generous heart: love and good company come to her easily, and she shares both.
Neptune trine North Node close at 1.3°
Imagination helps her forward, through art, ideals and care for others.
Pluto sextile North Node close at 1.5°
Deep change helps her forward: each time she starts over, she goes further.
Saturn sextile Neptune close at 1.9°
Practical dreams: she gives ideals a shape and works to make them real.
Venus quincunx Uranus close at 2.8°
Affection and independence need constant trading off, and she keeps renegotiating the terms of her relationships.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 2.8°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.

Chart signature
What’s this?Close
The chart’s balance at a glance: which of the four elements and three modes it leans on, which body is most connected, and any body standing alone.

Modes
The Moon changed sign that day; it is counted where it stood at noon.
No earth at all, so the practical, settled side is the one she has to find.
