Mahmoud Darwish — birth chart across three traditions
Born: 1941-03-13 (time unknown) · al-Birwa, Palestine
Data source: Rodden X (no recorded time). The Academy of American Poets biography states the date and village but gives no hour; no biographical source consulted records a time of birth.
Palestinian poet, author of Identity Card and Memory for Forgetfulness, who drafted the 1988 Palestinian Declaration of Independence. His birth village of al-Birwa, east of Acre, was depopulated and razed in 1948; the coordinates are the former village site, which lies inside present-day Israel.
Reading the chart
Pisces Sun — exact Moon sign unavailable because the birth time is unknown.
Venus carries unusual weight here — strong essential dignity (exaltation).
Stellium in Taurus: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus — a concentrated emphasis that colors the whole chart.
Earth is the leading element (47% weighted), while fire is least emphasized — a texture worth noticing, not a verdict.
Fixed modality leads: the chart's default rhythm is sustaining — consolidating and holding course.
Sun at 22°24′ Pisces: core identity, vitality and sense of purpose operates porously, imaginatively, dissolving hard edges — the keynote is empathy.
Moon: exact longitude and sign unavailable because the birth time is unknown. Daily interval 163.4265° → 178.2269° (Virgo).
Stellium in Taurus: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus — a concentrated emphasis that colors the whole chart.
Jupiter conjunction Saturn (orb 2°11′, separating): Jupiter and Saturn fuse — these functions operate as one package, for better and for richer.
Sun sextile Uranus (orb 0°31′, applying): Sun and Uranus cooperate when invited — an opportunity aspect that rewards small deliberate efforts.
Venus sextile Jupiter (orb 0°28′, applying): Venus and Jupiter cooperate when invited — an opportunity aspect that rewards small deliberate efforts.
