Joseph Fourier's Birth Chart
Sun in Aries · Moon in Taurus
Jean-Baptiste Joseph Fourier was a French mathematician and physicist born in Auxerre, Burgundy and best known for initiating the investigation of Fourier series, which eventually developed into Fourier analysis and harmonic analysis, and their applications to problems of heat transfer and vibrations. The Fourier transform and Fourier's law of conduction are also named in his honour. Fourier is also generally credited with the discovery of the greenhouse effect. Wikipedia
Sun in Aries
1°25′Your identity ignites when you begin and open the way: you need causes, challenges and the freedom to go first in order to discover who you are through action.
Moon in Taurus
11°37′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.
Birth time not documented
The Ascendant changes sign every two hours, and no verified birth time is recorded for Joseph Fourier, so this chart doesn't set it. Their planets by sign, however, remain reliable.
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.
Joseph Fourier'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 | Aries | 1°25′ |
| Moon | Taurus | 11°37′ |
| Mercury | Aries | 16°06′ |
| Venus | Aquarius | 24°35′ |
| Mars | Capricorn | 27°22′ |
| Jupiter | Libra ℞ | 20°00′ |
| Saturn | Gemini | 27°35′ |
| Uranus | Taurus | 1°30′ |
| Neptune | Virgo ℞ | 5°21′ |
| Pluto | Capricorn | 13°41′ |
Beyond the planets
Three keys beyond the ten classical planets, which astrology reads as axes of the chart. All four angles need your birth time.
Not a body but a point of the Moon's orbit. It marks the direction of your growth.
The Black Moon: a mathematical point tied to the untamed and what refuses to submit.
Joseph Fourier'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.
Seesaw
Your planets gather in two opposite groups: you live in the push and pull between them.
Their energy concentrates in the element of Earth and the Cardinal modality.
Jupiter is the most connected planet in their chart: 6 aspects tie it to the rest.
An opposition with a third planet square to both: the chart's engine of tension and achievement.
