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 Gemini
The Messenger. Curious and many-sided.
26°42′
Moon in Leo
The Moon moved from Leo into Virgo at 6:47 p.m. that day, local time: in Leo for a birth before then, in Virgo for one after.
26°33′
Mercury in Cancer
The Remembering Mind. A memory for tone.
20°53′

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 Leo
The direction her life grows in: Leo, warm and dramatic.
21°35′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
16°21′
Black Moon Lilith in Libra
In Libra, Lilith is the one who stops keeping the peace at any price.
8°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.
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 identity and her heart (the Sun and Venus, together in Gemini) and her imagination (Neptune in Sagittarius) face each other across the wheel, and her discipline (Saturn in Virgo) takes the strain: the part of her that works 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.
Mercury sextile Saturn almost exact at 0.1°
A patient, exact mind: she chooses every word, and her thinking gets sharper with practice.
The Sun sextile the Moon almost exact at 0.2°
Her purpose and her feelings are on the same side: the life she chooses and the comfort she needs go together.
Mercury quincunx Neptune almost exact at 0.3°
Meaning comes to her before the words do, and clear speech follows the feeling.
Saturn square Neptune almost exact at 0.4°
The dream and the hard work seldom agree on terms: her discipline and her imagination ask different things of her.
Neptune trine North Node almost exact at 0.4°
Imagination helps her forward, through art, ideals and care for others.
Venus quincunx Uranus almost exact at 0.6°
Affection and independence need constant trading off, and she keeps renegotiating the terms of her relationships.
