Richard Feynman's Birth Chart
Sun in Taurus · Moon in Gemini ≈
Richard Phillips Feynman was an American theoretical physicist. He shared the 1965 Nobel Prize in Physics with Julian Schwinger and Shin'ichirō Tomonaga "for their fundamental work in quantum electrodynamics (QED), with deep-ploughing consequences for the physics of elementary particles". He is also known for his work in the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics, the theory of the physics of the superfluidity of supercooled liquid helium, and the parton model. Feynman developed a pictorial representation scheme for the mathematical expressions describing the behavior of subatomic particles, which later became known as Feynman diagrams and remains widely used.

Sun in Taurus
19°58′Your centre is steadiness: you slowly build things that last, and sensory pleasure orders you. You flourish when you build at your own pace and give tangible form to what you value.
Moon in Gemini
2°56′Your emotions ask for words: to name them, tell them, understand them in conversation. You process what you feel through thought and speech. Your emotional security comes from understanding your experiences, voicing them and keeping your mind open and flexible.
the Moon changed sign that day
Birth time not documented
The Ascendant changes sign every two hours, and no verified birth time is recorded for Richard Feynman, 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.
Richard Feynman'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 | Taurus | 19°58′ |
| Moon | Gemini | 2°56′ |
| Mercury | Taurus | 0°26′ |
| Venus | Aries | 4°56′ |
| Mars | Virgo | 15°18′ |
| Jupiter | Gemini | 15°45′ |
| Saturn | Leo | 8°31′ |
| Uranus | Aquarius | 27°31′ |
| Neptune | Leo | 4°30′ |
| Pluto | Cancer | 3°58′ |
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.
Richard Feynman'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.
Splay
Your planets gather in irregular clusters: several well-defined centres of energy.
Their energy concentrates in the element of Fire and the Fixed modality.
Venus is the most connected planet in their chart: 7 aspects tie it to the rest.
Their chart forms no major pattern (grand trine, T-square, grand cross or stellium).
