The essence · Sun

Sun in Cancer

1°57′

Your core is care and protection: memory, shelter and the ability to make a home anywhere. Your life purpose is nourished by belonging, care and emotional memory. Your strength lies in welcoming, protecting and creating spaces where sensitivity is valued.

The inner world · Moon

Moon in Aquarius

28°55′

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 Edward VIII, 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.

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.

Chiron16°14 Virgo

The wounded healer: a small icy body between Saturn and Uranus. It marks the wound that, once moved through, teaches.

North Node5°50 Aries

Not a body but a point of the Moon's orbit. It marks the direction of your growth.

Lilith19°38 Capricorn

The Black Moon: a mathematical point tied to the untamed and what refuses to submit.

Edward VIII'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.
