Birth time not documented
The Ascendant changes sign every two hours, and no verified birth time is recorded for Hans Christian Ørsted, 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.
Section III · The detail
Planets and aspects
The exact numbers behind the drawing. Each table expands one layer of the wheel.
Hans Christian Ørsted's placements

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.
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.
Hans Christian Ørsted'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.
Locomotive
They cover two thirds of the sky, leaving one third empty: a constant drive toward that gap.
Their energy concentrates in the element of Fire and the Fixed modality.
Saturn is the most connected planet in their chart: 6 aspects tie it to the rest.
Three or more planets together in Leo: a strongly marked focus of energy in that area.
