Gian Lorenzo Bernini's Birth Chart
Sun in Sagittarius · Moon in Aries
Gian Lorenzo Bernini was an Italian sculptor, architect, painter and city planner. Bernini's creative abilities and mastery in a range of artistic arenas define him as a uomo universale or Renaissance man. While a major figure in the world of architecture, he was more prominently the leading sculptor of his age, credited with creating the Baroque style of sculpture. Wikipedia
Sun in Sagittarius
15°16′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 Aries
11°31′You feel in flares: fast, honest, direct emotions that ask for an immediate response and forgive quickly. Your refuge is autonomy and your ability to heal conflict fast.
Birth time not documented
The Ascendant changes sign every two hours, and no verified birth time is recorded for Gian Lorenzo Bernini, so this chart doesn't set it. Their planets by sign, however, remain reliable.
