Sun in Libra
1°50′Your identity seeks balance and harmony: beauty, fair agreement and the art of being in relationship. Your purpose flourishes when you build bridges, weigh nuances and look for the right balance in relationships.
Moon in Scorpio
10°21′You feel with a passionate, intuitive intensity: all or nothing, with an emotional memory that neither forgets nor betrays. Your security comes from deep loyalty, emotional honesty and the ability to regenerate after any crisis.
Virgo ascendant
29°58′You come across as attentive and modest, with a practical intelligence that repairs whatever it finds broken or not working, because you look at your surroundings with an analytical, pragmatic, detail-minded eye. Your life's journey teaches you to cultivate discernment, self-care and the integration of body and mind.

Beyond the planets
Eight keys beyond the ten classical planets, which astrology reads as axes of the chart.
The sign rising on the eastern horizon at birth. It shapes how you appear to the world.
The point opposite the Ascendant, where the zodiac was setting at your birth. It speaks of the other: what you look for and meet in your bonds.
The highest point in the sky at birth. It points to your vocation and public self.
The lowest point of the sky at your birth, opposite the Midheaven. It points to your root: the origin, the home and the intimacy you set out from.
The wounded healer: a small icy body between Saturn and Uranus. It marks the wound that, once moved through, teaches.
Not a body but a point of the Moon's orbit. It marks the direction of your growth.
The exact point opposite the North Node. It holds the ground you have already walked: the familiar place worth leaving behind.
The Black Moon: a mathematical point tied to the untamed and what refuses to submit.
