Auguste Rodin's Birth Chart
Sun in Scorpio · Moon in Gemini ≈
François Auguste René Rodin was a French sculptor generally considered the founder of modern sculpture. He was schooled traditionally and took a craftsman-like approach to his work. Rodin possessed a unique ability to model a complex, turbulent, and deeply pocketed surface in clay. He is known for such sculptures as The Thinker, Monument to Balzac, The Kiss, The Burghers of Calais, and The Gates of Hell. Wikipedia
Section I · The core
The two luminaries
Two lights set the tone of the whole chart: the Sun, the identity; the Moon, the emotional world.
Auguste Rodin's Sun, in Scorpio
Your core is intensity: living fully, transforming yourself and looking where others turn away. Your essence grows stronger in depth, transformation and naked truth. You need to cross the shadows, let go of what is obsolete and be reborn with greater inner solidity.
Auguste Rodin's Moon, in Gemini
Your emotions ask for words: to name them, tell them, understand them in conversation. You process what you feel through thought and speech. Your emotional security comes from understanding your experiences, voicing them and keeping your mind open and flexible.
Without an exact birth time, the Moon could fall in the neighbouring sign: it changed sign that day.
Section II · The map
Their natal wheel
The sky on the day they were born. The outer ring is the twelve signs; the lines across the centre, the aspects between planets. Without a birth time, houses and the Ascendant aren't drawn.
Section III · The detail
Planets and aspects
The exact numbers behind the drawing. Each table expands one layer of the wheel.
Auguste Rodin's placements
We compute the placements for the day of birth. Without the exact time the Ascendant and houses can't be fixed, but each planet's sign is reliable.
| Planet | Sign | Degree |
|---|---|---|
| Sun | Scorpio | 20°13′ |
| Moon | Gemini | 28°50′ |
| Mercury | Sagittarius | 12°44′ |
| Venus | Sagittarius | 18°44′ |
| Mars | Virgo | 19°17′ |
| Jupiter | Scorpio | 27°27′ |
| Saturn | Sagittarius | 20°19′ |
| Uranus | Pisces ℞ | 16°32′ |
| Neptune | Aquarius | 12°10′ |
| Pluto | Aries ℞ | 18°22′ |
Auguste Rodin's aspects
Each aspect is an angle between two planets; it defines how they speak to each other. Aspects to the Moon are approximate: they depend on the exact birth time.
Elements and modalities
How their energy is split across the four elements and the three modalities.
Section IV · The signature
The signature of their sky
The whole at a glance: how the planets are spread, and the accents that set the overall tone of the chart.
Seesaw
Your planets gather in two opposite groups: you live in the push and pull between them.
Their energy concentrates in the element of Fire and the Mutable modality.
Saturn is the most connected planet in their chart: 8 aspects tie it to the rest.
Three or more planets together in Sagittarius: a strongly marked focus of energy in that area.
An opposition with a third planet square to both: the chart's engine of tension and achievement.
