Sun in Taurus
19°22′Your centre is steadiness: you slowly build things that last, and sensory pleasure orders you. You flourish when you build at your own pace and give tangible form to what you value.
Moon in Virgo
20°36′You settle by ordering: your emotions are tended with kind routines and useful gestures, not with high drama. You heal what you feel when you give it a practical form, analysing and caring for the details of daily life.
Birth time not documented
The Ascendant changes sign every two hours, and no verified birth time is recorded for Missy Franklin, so this chart doesn't set it. Their planets by sign, however, remain reliable.

Beyond the planets
Three keys beyond the ten classical planets, which astrology reads as axes of the chart. All four angles need your birth time.
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 Black Moon: a mathematical point tied to the untamed and what refuses to submit.
Missy Franklin's aspects
