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 Aquarius
The Free Thinker. Original, free and humane.
5°29′
Moon in Aries
The Moon moved from Aries into Taurus at 8:29 p.m. that day, local time: in Aries for a birth before then, in Taurus for one after.
25°11′
Mercury in Aquarius
The Inventor. The original thinker.
18°02′

The Loyal Partner. Love built to last.

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.
7°12′
Chiron in Taurus
In Taurus, Chiron is a tender place around worth and having enough, and a gift for helping others feel secure.
17°37′
Black Moon Lilith in Leo
In Leo, Lilith is the wish to be seen whole, without shrinking to suit anyone.
24°42′
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.
Mercury quincunx Uranus almost exact at 0.1°
Ordinary logic and sudden insight needed constant translating, and she spent time explaining how she got there.
The Sun square Saturn almost exact at 0.4°
Self-belief came slowly and had to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counted.
Saturn quincunx North Node close at 1.3°
Responsibility and growth needed steady balancing, and she learned which duties to keep.
Mercury square Jupiter close at 1.4°
Big ideas and loose details: she thought on a large scale, and the small print was where things got away from her.
Jupiter trine Uranus close at 1.5°
Sudden openings: she spotted new chances early and jumped at them.
Venus quincunx Mars close at 1.7°
What she found beautiful and what she desired kept parting ways, and love took some working out.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
Venus trine Pluto close at 1.7°
She loved with depth and loyalty, and the bonds she formed changed both people.
The Sun sextile North Node close at 1.7°
The direction her life took suited her: being herself and growing went hand in hand.
Jupiter conjunction Neptune close at 2.8°
A dreamer’s faith: she believed in something larger, and her compassion and her hopes went together.
Mercury square Neptune wide at 4.3°
Facts and dreams blurred together in her mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details mattered.
Uranus trine Neptune wide at 4.3°
Change and idealism went together: new ideas came wrapped in dreams of a better world.
The Sun conjunction Venus wide at 6.4°
Charm came naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things were close to her core.
Saturn conjunction Neptune wide at 7.9°
She took dreams seriously and gave them structure, and her ideals had to prove themselves.
The Sun trine Pluto wide at 8.1°
A quiet strength: under pressure she grew more focused, and she knew how to start over.
The Sun square Neptune wide at 8.3°
The self she knew and the image others saw drifted apart at times, and she worked to keep hold of the real one.
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 water at all, so feelings came out in actions more than in words.
