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 Aries
The Pioneer. First in, first to try.
19°59′
Moon in Virgo
The Moon moved from Virgo into Libra at 7:45 p.m. that day, local time: in Virgo for a birth before then, in Libra for one after.
26°04′
Mercury in Pisces
The Poet. Knowing without explaining.
26°11′
Venus in Pisces
The Tender Heart. Love without limits.
14°44′
Mars in Aries
The Trailblazer. First through the door.

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 Virgo
The direction her life grows in: Virgo, precise and helpful.
17°16′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
8°08′
Black Moon Lilith in Leo
In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.
20°00′
The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.
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 Moon opposition Mercury almost exact at 0.1°
Her head and her feelings argue: she knows what she thinks before she knows what she feels, or the other way round.
The Sun quincunx Uranus almost exact at 0.2°
Her restlessness keeps testing her plans, so she changes course more than once to stay true to herself.
The Sun trine Neptune almost exact at 0.4°
Imagination and identity work together: she can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
The Sun opposition Pluto close at 2.2°
Nothing about her is halfway: she insists on running her own life, and the struggle makes her formidable.
Venus opposition North Node close at 2.5°
What feels comfortable in love and what helps her grow are different things, and she chooses between them more than once.
Neptune sextile Pluto close at 2.6°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.

The Sun quincunx North Node close at 2.7°

Neptune square North Node wide at 3.1°

Mercury trine Jupiter wide at 3.2°
A generous, wide-ranging mind: she learns easily, tells a good story and sees the big picture.
Mars trine Jupiter wide at 3.3°
Big drive and big confidence: she goes after large goals, and her enthusiasm carries others along.
Venus trine Uranus wide at 5.4°
She loves the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all her own.
Venus square Neptune wide at 5.7°
She loves the dream of a person, and the real one has to compete with it.
Mercury square Neptune wide at 5.8°
Facts and dreams blur together in her mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details matter.
Mercury trine Uranus wide at 6.0°
A quick, original mind: ideas arrive in flashes, and she sees answers others miss.
Mercury conjunction Mars wide at 6.5°
She thinks fast and speaks faster: her mind likes a contest, and her words have an edge.
Venus opposition Saturn wide at 6.9°
Love feels like something to be earned, and she holds back until she is sure of it.
