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 Scorpio
The Detective. Intense, private and loyal.
1°24′
Moon in Cancer
The Moon moved from Gemini into Cancer at 9:58 a.m. that day, local time: in Gemini for a birth before then, in Cancer for one after.
1°06′
Mercury in Libra
The Mediator. Both sides of the question.
13°08′
Venus in Virgo
The Quiet Romantic. Love in small attentions.
15°29′
Mars in Cancer
The Defender. Fierce for its own.

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 Scorpio
The direction her life grows in: Scorpio, intense and private.
21°52′
Chiron in Aries
In Aries, Chiron is a doubt about the right to go first, and with it a talent for giving others their nerve.
25°35′
Black Moon Lilith in Pisces
In Pisces, Lilith is a dreamer who wants no rescuing, with a private world all its own.
29°19′
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.
Neptune sextile Pluto almost exact at 0.1°
A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.
Saturn square Uranus almost exact at 0.1°
Tradition and rebellion fight in her: she wants security and freedom, and can rarely have both at once.
The Sun trine Mars almost exact at 0.3°
Her purpose and her drive work together: once she decides on something, she moves on it fast.
The Sun trine the Moon almost exact at 0.3°
Her purpose and her feelings are on the same side: the life she chooses and the comfort she needs go together.
The Moon conjunction Mars almost exact at 0.6°
Her feelings run hot and fast, and she protects the people she loves fiercely.
Mars trine Uranus close at 1.1°
Quick and inventive in action: she moves fast, breaks with habit and makes sudden changes work.
Show more aspectsShow fewer
The Sun square Saturn close at 1.2°
Self-belief comes slowly and has to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counts.
The Sun conjunction Uranus close at 1.3°
Born original: her identity and her need for freedom are the same thing, and she surprises people, herself included.
The Moon trine Uranus close at 1.6°
Her feelings like freedom: she needs space in close ties and gives it back just as easily.
Mercury sextile Neptune close at 3.0°
She thinks in pictures and music: her words carry a mood, and her imagination gives her ideas colour.
Mercury conjunction Pluto wide at 3.1°
She thinks like a detective: nothing is taken at face value, and she remembers everything.
Mercury opposition Jupiter wide at 5.0°
Big ideas and loose details: she thinks on a large scale, and the small print is where things get away from her.
Venus square Neptune wide at 5.4°
She loves the dream of a person, and the real one has to compete with it.
