David Lynch's Birth Chart
Sun in Capricorn · Moon in Virgo ≈
David Keith Lynch was an American filmmaker and artist. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential filmmakers in the history of cinema, with his films often characterized by a distinctive surrealist sensibility that gave rise to the adjective "Lynchian". He is often credited with bringing surrealism and experimentalism to mainstream media in the late 20th century. In a career spanning more than five decades, he received numerous accolades, including an Academy Honorary Award, a Palme d'Or and Best Director Award at the Cannes Film Festival, the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement at the Venice Film Festival, an Independent Spirit Award, a Saturn Award, two César Awards, and a (posthumous) Laurel Award for Screenwriting Achievement, in addition to nominations for four Academy Awards, two British Academy Film Awards, four Golden Globe Awards, and nine Primetime Emmy Awards.

Sun in Capricorn
29°50′Your centre is mastery: patient ambition, responsibility, maturity and work that supports others. You flourish by taking on your goals with discipline, patience and the determination to build something lasting.
Moon in Virgo
6°14′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 David Lynch, 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.
David Lynch'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.

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.

Mars is the most connected planet in their chart: 8 aspects tie it to the rest.
Three or more planets together in Capricorn: a strongly marked focus of energy in that area.
