Raphael's Birth Chart
Sun in Aries · Moon in Sagittarius
Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino, now generally known in English as Raphael, was an Italian painter and architect of the High Renaissance. His work is admired for its clarity of form, ease of composition, and visual achievement of the Neoplatonic ideal of human grandeur. Together with Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, he forms the traditional trinity of great masters of that period. 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.
Raphael's Sun, in Aries
Your identity ignites at the start: you need causes, challenges and the freedom to go first.
Raphael's Moon, in Sagittarius
Your spirit needs air and future: movement, laughter and a good reason to believe repair you.
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.
Raphael's placements
We compute the placements for the day of birth. Without the exact time the Ascendant and houses can't be fixed, but each planet's sign is reliable.
| Planet | Sign | Degree |

| Sun | Aries | 16°13′ |
| Moon | Sagittarius | 7°11′ |
| Mercury | Taurus | 0°07′ |

| Pluto | Libra ℞ | 9°52′ |
Raphael'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.
Seesaw
Your planets gather in two opposite groups: you live in the push and pull between them.
Their energy concentrates in the element of Fire and the Cardinal modality.
Pluto is the most connected planet in their chart: 6 aspects tie it to the rest.
Three or more planets together in Sagittarius: a strongly marked focus of energy in that area.
