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 Pisces
The Dreamer. Gentle, dreamy and deep.
27°23′
Moon in Sagittarius
The Moon moved from Sagittarius into Capricorn at 12:35 p.m. that day, local time: in Sagittarius for a birth before then, in Capricorn for one after.
29°42′
Mercury in Pisces
The Poet. Knowing without explaining.
16°05′
Venus in Aquarius
The Kindred Spirit. Friend first, lover too.

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 Cancer
The direction her life grows in: Cancer, protective and caring.
27°39′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
11°33′
Black Moon Lilith in Libra
In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.
26°20′
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 identity, her mind and her optimism (the Sun, Mercury and Jupiter) gather in Pisces, 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.
The Sun trine North Node almost exact at 0.3°
The direction her life takes suits her: being herself and growing go hand in hand.
Mercury trine Neptune almost exact at 0.7°
She thinks in pictures and music: her words carry a mood, and her imagination gives her ideas colour.
Venus square Neptune close at 1.2°
She loves the dream of a person, and the real one has to compete with it.
The Sun conjunction Jupiter close at 1.3°
Optimism at the centre of her: she expects things to go well, and that confidence wins people over.
Jupiter trine North Node close at 1.6°
Hope helps her grow: faith in what is possible keeps her moving forward.
Venus conjunction Saturn close at 2.1°
Serious about love: she gives affection slowly, and once given, it stays given.

The Sun square the Moon close at 2.3°
The self she shows the world and the self she comes home to want different things, and she makes room for both.
The Moon trine Uranus close at 2.5°
Her feelings like freedom: she needs space in close ties and gives it back just as easily.
Saturn square Neptune wide at 3.3°
The dream and the hard work seldom agree on terms: her discipline and her imagination ask different things of her.
Neptune sextile Pluto wide at 5.0°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Mercury opposition Pluto wide at 5.6°
Her words have force: she speaks to persuade, and she keeps her own counsel until the right moment.
Mars conjunction North Node wide at 7.7°
Driven towards her path: she goes after the life she wants with real force.
The Sun trine Mars wide at 8.0°
Her purpose and her drive work together: once she decides on something, she moves on it fast.
