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 Virgo
The Fixer. Precise, useful and kind.
7°40′
Moon in Cancer
The Moon moved from Gemini into Cancer at 6:52 a.m. that day, local time: in Gemini for a birth before then, in Cancer for one after.
3°04′
Mercury in Libra
The Mediator. Both sides of the question.
4°48′
Venus in Cancer
The Nurturer. Love that makes a home.
21°50′
Mars in Piscesretrograde
The Gentle Warrior. Strength that flows round.

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 Sagittarius
The direction her life grows in: Sagittarius, free and far-ranging.
3°15′
Chiron in Aquarius
In Aquarius, Chiron is the ache of not quite fitting in, and a gift for making room for every outsider.
7°31′
Black Moon Lilith in Capricorn
In Capricorn, Lilith is an ambition that has stopped waiting its turn.
29°55′
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.
Grand trine
Three planets in an easy triangle, each in flowing contact with the other two: a gift that comes without effort.
In her chart, her heart, her drive and her discipline (Venus in Cancer, Mars in Pisces and Saturn in Scorpio) make the triangle, so these come to her naturally.
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 Uranus exact at 0.0°
A quick, original mind: ideas arrive in flashes, and she sees answers others miss.
Neptune sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.2°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Venus trine Mars almost exact at 0.8°
Charm and desire work together: she knows what she wants in love and how to win it.
Uranus trine North Node close at 1.5°
Change helps her forward: she grows by trying the new.
Mercury sextile North Node close at 1.6°
Her way with words helps her find her direction, and the right ideas come at the right time.
Saturn square Pluto close at 1.7°
Heavy demands and hard limits: she faces a great deal of pressure and comes out tougher for it.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
The Moon square Mercury close at 1.7°
Her head and her feelings argue: she knows what she thinks before she knows what she feels, or the other way round.
The Sun conjunction Jupiter wide at 3.4°
Optimism at the centre of her: she expects things to go well, and that confidence wins people over.
The Sun square North Node wide at 4.4°
Being herself and growing ask for different things, and her biggest steps forward come when she stretches past her habits.
Pluto square North Node wide at 4.6°
Old attachments hold her back from the way forward, and she grows by letting some things go.
Venus trine Saturn wide at 5.1°
Loyal in love: she chooses carefully, and what she builds with people lasts.
Mars trine Saturn wide at 5.9°
Her drive and her discipline work together easily: she can push hard and keep going.
Saturn conjunction North Node wide at 6.3°
A serious path: growing asks for patience, and she gives it.
Uranus square Neptune wide at 6.4°
The urge for change and the longing for ideals clash, and she lives with both.
Venus square Neptune wide at 6.5°
She loves the dream of a person, and the real one has to compete with it.
The Sun conjunction Pluto wide at 9.1°
Intensity at the centre: she wants the whole truth about everything, herself first, and she remakes herself more than once to reach it.
