The tightest aspects in Whitney Houston's chart

An aspect is the angle between two planets; the smaller the orb, the more closely their themes are read as bound together. The tightest in this chart:

• Sun trine Moon, orb 0.4°. Sun symbolizes core self, will and vitality; Moon, emotions, comfort and the need to feel safe. A trine is usually described as a natural, easy flow of support.
• Jupiter sextile Saturn, orb 0.5°. Jupiter symbolizes growth, faith, generosity and meaning; Saturn, structure, responsibility, limits and maturity. A sextile is usually described as an easy cooperation that rewards a little effort.
• Mercury conjunction Pluto, orb 0.8°. Mercury symbolizes thinking, speech, learning and exchange; Pluto, depth, power, transformation and renewal. A conjunction is usually described as two planets' themes fused, each amplifying the other.
• Venus square Neptune, orb 1.7°. Venus symbolizes love, beauty, values and pleasure; Neptune, dreams, imagination, compassion and blurred boundaries. A square is usually described as friction that also drives.

Stelliums and patterns

• Mercury, Uranus and Pluto in Virgo: three or more planets in one sign make a stellium, and that sign's themes stand out in the chart.
• Sun, Venus and Uranus in the 6th house: the part of life this house covers carries a lot of weight.
• Mercury, Mars and Pluto in the 7th house: the part of life this house covers carries a lot of weight.

A birth chart describes the sky at the moment of birth. We use astrology's language as a cultural reference here: it says nothing about the person's character, private life or future.
