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.
Nikola Tesla's Sun, in Cancer
Your core is care: memory, refuge, and the ability to make a home anywhere.
Nikola Tesla's Moon, in Libra
Your emotional peace depends on the harmony around you: conflict weighs on you, beauty repairs you.
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.
Nikola Tesla'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.

Nikola Tesla'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 Water and the Cardinal modality.
Sun is the most connected planet in their chart: 6 aspects tie it to the rest.
Three or more planets together in Cancer: a strongly marked focus of energy in that area.
