The essence · Sun

Sun in Capricorn

9°37′

Your centre is mastery: patient ambition, responsibility, maturity and work that supports others. You flourish by taking on your goals with discipline, patience and the determination to build something lasting.

The inner world · Moon

Moon in Aries

14°25′

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.

The threshold · Ascendant

Birth time not documented

The Ascendant changes sign every two hours, and no verified birth time is recorded for Nicholas Sparks, 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.

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.

Chiron18°27 Pisces

The wounded healer: a small icy body between Saturn and Uranus. It marks the wound that, once moved through, teaches.

North Node4°04 Gemini

Not a body but a point of the Moon's orbit. It marks the direction of your growth.

Lilith19°50 Aquarius

The Black Moon: a mathematical point tied to the untamed and what refuses to submit.

Nicholas Sparks'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.
