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.
18°13′
Moon in Virgo
The Moon moved from Leo into Virgo at 10:22 a.m. that day, local time: in Leo for a birth before then, in Virgo for one after.
0°58′
Mercury in Pisces
The Poet. Knowing without explaining.
24°08′
Venus in Aries
The Chaser. Love at first sight.

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 Libra
The direction her life grows in: Libra, graceful and fair.
1°47′
Chiron in Cancer
In Cancer, Chiron is an early longing to belong somewhere, and a knack for making strangers feel at home.
25°21′
Black Moon Lilith in Taurus
In Taurus, Lilith is an appetite for pleasure that sees no need to apologise.
3°25′
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 optimism, her discipline and her independence (Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus) gather in Taurus, and that part of life drew 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.
Mercury sextile Uranus almost exact at 0.1°
A quick, original mind: ideas arrived in flashes, and she saw answers others missed.
Pluto sextile North Node almost exact at 0.3°
Deep change helped her forward: each time she started over, she went further.
Mercury opposition Neptune close at 1.6°
Facts and dreams blurred together in her mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details mattered.
Uranus trine Neptune close at 1.7°
Change and idealism went together: new ideas came wrapped in dreams of a better world.
Mars opposition Pluto close at 2.1°
A fierce will: she met opposition head on, and a fight brought out her full strength.
Mars trine North Node close at 2.4°
Courage moved her forward, and each bold step took her further along her path.
