Albrecht Dürer's Birth Chart
Sun in Gemini · Moon in Gemini ≈
Albrecht Dürer, sometimes spelled in English as Durer or Duerer, was a German painter, printmaker, and theorist of the German Renaissance. Born in Nuremberg, Dürer established his reputation and influence across Europe in his twenties due to his high-quality woodcut prints. He was in contact with the major Italian artists of his time, including Raphael, Giovanni Bellini and Leonardo da Vinci, and from 1512 was patronized by Emperor Maximilian I. 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.
Albrecht Dürer's Sun, in Gemini
Your identity lives in curiosity: you are bridge, translator, a permanent question.
Albrecht Dürer's Moon, in Gemini
Your emotions ask for words: to name them, tell them, understand them in conversation.
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.
Section III · The detail
Planets and aspects
The exact numbers behind the drawing. Each table expands one layer of the wheel.
Albrecht Dürer'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 | Gemini | 8°18′ |
| Moon | Gemini | 25°27′ |
| Mercury | Taurus | 18°16′ |
| Venus | Gemini | 21°34′ |
| Mars | Aries | 14°31′ |
| Jupiter | Virgo | 24°37′ |
| Saturn | Gemini | 1°34′ |
| Uranus | Libra ℞ | 22°09′ |
| Neptune | Scorpio ℞ | 11°45′ |
| Pluto | Virgo | 10°19′ |
Albrecht Dürer'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 Air and the Mutable modality.
Jupiter is the most connected planet in their chart: 6 aspects tie it to the rest.
Three or more planets together in Gemini: a strongly marked focus of energy in that area.
