Sun in Sagittarius
15°23′Your identity is an arrow: meaning, horizon, the faith that there's always wider ground. It expands through the search for meaning, adventure and trust in life. You need wide horizons, philosophy and constant learning in order to make sense of existence.
Moon in Aquarius
12°44′You feel with a certain panoramic distance: you need freedom even inside affection. You process emotions with objective detachment and a need for personal space. Your comfort lies in mental freedom, authenticity without labels and the complicity of groups.
Birth time not documented
The Ascendant changes sign every two hours, and no verified birth time is recorded for Larry Bird, 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.
Larry Bird'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 Mutable modality.
Mars is the most connected planet in their chart: 8 aspects tie it to the rest.
Three or more planets together in Sagittarius: a strongly marked focus of energy in that area.
Three planets in trine forming a triangle: a talent that flows almost effortlessly.
An opposition with a third planet square to both: the chart's engine of tension and achievement.
