Pope Francis's Birth Chart

Sun in Sagittarius · Moon in Aquarius

Pope Francis was the head of the Catholic Church and sovereign of Vatican City from 13 March 2013 until his death in 2025. He was the first Jesuit pope, the first Latin American, and the first pope born or raised outside Europe since the 8th-century Syrian pope Gregory III. 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.

Pope Francis's Sun, in Sagittarius

Your identity is an arrow: meaning, horizon, the faith that there's always a wider land.

Pope Francis's Moon, in Aquarius

You feel with a certain panoramic distance: you need freedom even within affection.

Without an exact birth time, the Moon could fall in the neighbouring sign: it changed sign that day.

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.

Pope Francis'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.

Pope Francis'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

Seesaw

Your planets gather in two opposite groups: you live in the push and pull between them.

Dominants

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

Traits

Uranus is the most connected planet in their chart: 5 aspects tie it to the rest.

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