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.

Günter Grass's Sun, in Libra

Your identity seeks balance and harmony: beauty, fair agreement and the art of being in relationship. Your purpose flourishes when you build bridges, weigh nuances and look for the right balance in relationships.

Günter Grass's Moon, in Cancer

You have deep intuition and a very rich emotional world, a profound sensitivity that registers everything and needs a den to process it: your natural refuge is home, intimacy and the bonds that make you feel safe and among family.

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.
