Mao Zedong's Birth Chart

Sun in Capricorn · Moon in Leo

Mao Zedong was a Chinese revolutionary, politician, writer, political theorist and the founder of the People's Republic of China (PRC). He led China from the PRC's establishment in October 1949 until his death in September 1976, primarily through his role as the Chairman of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). His theories, which he advocated as a Chinese adaptation of Marxism–Leninism, are known as Maoism. 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.

Mao Zedong's Sun, in Capricorn

Your centre is mastery: patient ambition, responsibility and works that hold others up.

Mao Zedong's Moon, in Leo

Your heart needs to be seen: loyalty and sincere recognition are your emotional nourishment.

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.
