Jorge Luis Borges's Birth Chart
Sun in Virgo · Moon in Aries
Jorge Francisco Isidoro Luis Borges was an Argentine short-story writer, essayist, poet and translator regarded as a key figure in Spanish-language and international literature. His best-known works, Ficciones (transl. Fictions) and El Aleph, published in the 1940s, are collections of short stories exploring motifs such as dreams, labyrinths, chance, infinity, archives, mirrors, fictional writers, and mythology. Borges's works have contributed to philosophical literature and the fantasy genre, and have had a major influence on the magical realist movement in 20th century Latin American literature. Wikipedia
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.
Jorge Luis Borges's Sun, in Virgo
Your centre is craft: improving what you touch, serving with precision, finding the sacred in the detail. Your identity is refined through order, useful observation and continuous improvement. You find meaning in being of help, optimising processes and understanding how the whole works.
Jorge Luis Borges's Moon, in Aries
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.
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.
Section III · The detail
Planets and aspects
The exact numbers behind the drawing. Each table expands one layer of the wheel.
Jorge Luis Borges'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.
| Planet | Sign | Degree |
|---|---|---|
| Sun | Virgo | 1°04′ |
| Moon | Aries | 17°15′ |
| Mercury | Leo ℞ | 22°18′ |
| Venus | Leo | 24°52′ |
| Mars | Libra | 11°44′ |

Jorge Luis Borges'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.
Elements and modalities
How their energy is split across the four elements and the three modalities.
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.
Locomotive
They cover two thirds of the sky, leaving one third empty: a constant drive toward that gap.
Their energy concentrates in the element of Fire and the Mutable modality.
Mercury is the most connected planet in their chart: 7 aspects tie it to the rest.
Three planets in trine forming a triangle: a talent that flows almost effortlessly.
