Miguel de Cervantes's Birth Chart

Sun in Libra · Moon in Aries

Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra was a Spanish writer widely regarded as the greatest writer in the Spanish language and one of the world's pre-eminent novelists. He is best known for his two-part novel Don Quixote, a work considered to be the first modern novel. Don Quixote has been labelled by many well-known authors as the "best book of all time" and the "best and most central work in world literature". 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.

Miguel de Cervantes's Sun, in Libra

Your identity seeks balance: beauty, fair agreement and the art of being in relationship.

Miguel de Cervantes's Moon, in Aries

You feel in flares: fast, honest emotions that demand immediate action and forgive quickly.

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.

Miguel de Cervantes'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.

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.

Chart shape

Seesaw

Your planets gather in two opposite groups: you live in the push and pull between them.

Dominants

Their energy concentrates in the element of Earth and the Cardinal modality.

Traits

Pluto is the most connected planet in their chart: 4 aspects tie it to the rest.

Patterns
StelliumSun · Mercury · Mars

Three or more planets together in Libra: a strongly marked focus of energy in that area.
