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.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau's Sun, in Cancer

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.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau's Moon, in Taurus

Your emotional calm needs solid ground: routines, stability, physical comfort, body, nature and bonds that don't wobble. You nourish and are nourished through simple sensory pleasure, patience and the certainty of what is firm.

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.

Planets and aspects

The exact numbers behind the drawing. Each table expands one layer of the wheel.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau's placements

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.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau'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.

Section IV · The signature

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.

Chart shape

Bucket

A group of planets with a single one opposite: that 'handle' planet becomes the channel of the whole chart.

Dominants

Their energy concentrates in the element of Earth and the Mutable modality.

Traits

Moon is the most connected planet in their chart: 7 aspects tie it to the rest.

Patterns
StelliumMercury · Venus · Mars

Three or more planets together in Gemini: a strongly marked focus of energy in that area.

T-squareJupiter · Saturn · Moon

An opposition with a third planet square to both: the chart's engine of tension and achievement.
