Nicolaus Copernicus — birth chart across three traditions
Born: 1473-02-28 (time unknown) · Toruń, Poland
Data source: Rodden X (no recorded time). An encyclopedic biography gives 19 February 1473 at Toruń and states no hour of birth.
Astronomer who set out the heliocentric model placing the Sun rather than the Earth at the centre of the planetary system. The source gives 19 February 1473, a Julian date over a century before the Gregorian reform; converted forward by nine days it becomes 28 February 1473, the date used here. No time of birth is recorded.
Reading the chart
Pisces Sun — exact Moon sign unavailable because the birth time is unknown.
Jupiter carries unusual weight here — strong essential dignity (domicile); in its own domicile.
Water is the leading element (47% weighted), while earth is least emphasized — a texture worth noticing, not a verdict.
Mutable modality leads: the chart's default rhythm is adapting — adjusting and redistributing energy.
Sun at 9°58′ 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 235.3445° → 249.4464° (Scorpio → Sagittarius).
Venus trine Jupiter (orb 2°22′, separating): Venus and Jupiter flow — support arrives so easily it can be taken for granted.
Mars square North Node (orb 2°15′, applying): Mars and North Node grind productively — friction between these functions builds real capacity when worked.
Jupiter opposition Lilith (mean apogee) (orb 1°48′, separating): Jupiter and Lilith (mean apogee) face each other across an axis — awareness tends to arrive through other people and counterweights.
