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.

Beyond the planetsNorth Node in Aries, Chiron and Lilith
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 Aries

    The direction her life grows in: Aries, bold and direct.

    3°25′

  • Chiron in Gemini

    In Gemini, Chiron is an old fear of not being heard, which becomes a gift for finding the words others lack.

    26°38′

  • Black Moon Lilith in Cancer

    In Cancer, Lilith is a fierce need to belong, and no wish to look after anyone on command.

    28°51′

The rising sign and the Midheaven need the birth time to the minute, so they are left out.

PatternsStellium, T-square
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, her heart and her drive (the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars) gather in Leo, and that part of life draws her attention first.

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 optimism (Jupiter in Aries) and her intensity (Pluto in Scorpio) face each other across the wheel, and her mind (Mercury in Leo) takes the strain: the part of her that works hardest.

Aspects by strength17 between the planets, the closest first
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.

  • The Sun trine Saturn almost exact at 0.4°

    Purpose and patience work as a team: she builds slowly and gets better with every year.

  • Mercury trine North Node close at 1.1°

    Her way with words helps her find her direction, and the right ideas come at the right time.

  • Neptune sextile Pluto close at 1.6°

    A quiet hunger for meaning under everyday life, and a tolerance for great change.

  • Neptune square North Node close at 2.2°

    Dreams and the way forward clash, and growing means trading some illusions for clear sight.

  • Mars trine Uranus close at 2.3°

    Quick and inventive in action: she moves fast, breaks with habit and makes sudden changes work.

  • Mercury square Jupiter close at 2.8°

    Big ideas and loose details: she thinks on a large scale, and the small print is where things get away from her.

  • Venus square Pluto wide at 3.6°

    Love comes with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where she stands.

  • Venus trine Saturn wide at 3.7°

    Loyal in love: she chooses carefully, and what she builds with people lasts.

  • The Sun conjunction Venus wide at 4.2°

    Charm comes naturally: taste, warmth and a love of beautiful things are close to her core.

  • Mercury square Pluto wide at 5.0°

    Her words have force: she speaks to persuade, and she keeps her own counsel until the right moment.

  • The Sun conjunction Mars wide at 5.6°

    Purpose and drive in one place: she is quick to start, quick to compete and hard to stop.

  • Mars trine Saturn wide at 6.0°

    Her drive and her discipline work together easily: she can push hard and keep going.

  • Jupiter trine Neptune wide at 6.1°

    Faith and imagination together: she believes in people and ideals, and that belief is catching.

  • Jupiter trine Uranus wide at 6.5°

    Sudden openings: she spots new chances early and jumps at them.

  • Jupiter opposition Pluto wide at 7.8°

    She wants more power than comes easily, and the struggle for it shapes her life.

  • The Sun square Pluto wide at 7.8°

    Nothing about her is halfway: she insists on running her own life, and the struggle makes her formidable.

  • The Sun trine Uranus wide at 7.9°

    Independence comes easily: she does things her own way, and people find it refreshing rather than rude.

Chart signatureMost in fire signs
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.

Elements

Fire · instinct and enthusiasm7
Earth · the practical and the solid2
Air · ideas and people0
Water · feeling and intuition1

Modes

Cardinal · starting things3
Fixed · holding steady5
Mutable · adapting2

The Moon changed sign that day; it is counted where it stood at noon.

No air at all, so stepping back to talk a thing through takes deliberate effort.
