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.
17°09′
Moon in Capricorn
The Moon moved from Sagittarius into Capricorn at 9:36 a.m. that day, local time: in Sagittarius for a birth before then, in Capricorn for one after.

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.
8°40′
Chiron in Pisces
In Pisces, Chiron is a tenderness that feels everything a little too much, and a gift for quiet compassion.
14°38′
Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius
In Sagittarius, Lilith is a free mind that keeps only the beliefs it chose.
5°59′
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 drive (the Sun, Mercury and Mars) 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.
Mars opposition Pluto almost exact at 0.1°
A fierce will: she meets opposition head on, and a fight brings out her full strength.
The Sun trine Neptune almost exact at 0.6°
Imagination and identity work together: she can become a character, a mood or an idea, and make others believe in it.
Mercury opposition Pluto almost exact at 0.7°
Her words have force: she speaks to persuade, and she keeps her own counsel until the right moment.
Mercury conjunction Mars almost exact at 0.8°
She thinks fast and speaks faster: her mind likes a contest, and her words have an edge.
The Moon trine Venus close at 1.0°
She puts people at ease without trying: kindness and charm come from the same place.
Uranus sextile North Node close at 1.1°
Change helps her forward: she grows by trying the new.
