Bobby Fischer's Birth Chart
Sun in Pisces · Moon in Aries ≈
Robert James Fischer was an American chess grandmaster and the eleventh World Chess Champion. A chess prodigy, he won his first of a record eight US Championships at the age of 14. In 1964, he won with an 11–0 score, the only perfect score in the history of the tournament. Qualifying for the 1972 World Championship, Fischer swept matches with Mark Taimanov and Bent Larsen by 6–0 scores. After winning another qualifying match against Tigran Petrosian, Fischer won the title match against Boris Spassky of the USSR, in Reykjavík, Iceland. Publicized as a Cold War confrontation between the US and USSR, the match attracted more worldwide interest than any chess championship before or since. Wikipedia
Sun in Pisces

Moon in Aries
27°50′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.

Birth time not documented
The Ascendant changes sign every two hours, and no verified birth time is recorded for Bobby Fischer, so this chart doesn't set it. Their planets by sign, however, remain reliable.

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