Claude Lévi-Strauss's Birth Chart
Sun in Sagittarius · Moon in Aquarius ≈
Claude Lévi-Strauss was a Belgian-born French anthropologist and ethnologist whose work was key in the development of the theories of structuralism and structural anthropology. He held the chair of Social Anthropology at the Collège de France between 1959 and 1982, was elected a member of the Académie française in 1973 and was a member of the School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences in Paris. He received numerous honors from universities and institutions throughout the world. Wikipedia
Sun in Sagittarius
5°53′Your identity is an arrow: meaning, horizon, the faith that there's always wider ground. It expands through the search for meaning, adventure and trust in life. You need wide horizons, philosophy and constant learning in order to make sense of existence.
Moon in Aquarius
4°18′You feel with a certain panoramic distance: you need freedom even inside affection. You process emotions with objective detachment and a need for personal space. Your comfort lies in mental freedom, authenticity without labels and the complicity of groups.

Birth time not documented
The Ascendant changes sign every two hours, and no verified birth time is recorded for Claude Lévi-Strauss, so this chart doesn't set it. Their planets by sign, however, remain reliable.
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.
Claude Lévi-Strauss'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.

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.
Claude Lévi-Strauss'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.
Splay
Your planets gather in irregular clusters: several well-defined centres of energy.
Their energy concentrates in the element of Water and the Fixed modality.
Mars is the most connected planet in their chart: 6 aspects tie it to the rest.
Three or more planets together in Scorpio: a strongly marked focus of energy in that area.
