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.

Ibn Khaldun's Sun, in Gemini

Your identity lives in curiosity: you are bridge, translator, permanent question. It unfolds through versatility, movement and the play of ideas. You need to explore, build bridges, ask questions and connect concepts in order to understand the world.

Ibn Khaldun'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.

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.

Ibn Khaldun'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.
