Teresa of Ávila — birth chart across three traditions
Born: 1515-04-07 (time unknown) · Ávila, Spain
Data source: Rodden X (no recorded time). The encyclopedic biography gives the Julian day but states no hour, and leaves the birthplace open between two towns.
Spanish Carmelite reformer and mystical writer, author of The Interior Castle and a Doctor of the Catholic Church. Sources give 28 March 1515, a Julian date predating the Gregorian reform; it is converted here to its Gregorian equivalent of 7 April 1515 by the ten-day sixteenth-century offset. The source states her birthplace was either Ávila or the nearby village of Gotarrendura, and the coordinates follow Ávila as named here.
Reading the chart
Aries Sun — exact Moon sign unavailable because the birth time is unknown.
Sun carries unusual weight here — strong essential dignity (exaltation).
Stellium in Aries: Sun, Mercury, Uranus — a concentrated emphasis that colors the whole chart.
Fire is the leading element (56% 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 16°28′ Aries: core identity, vitality and sense of purpose operates directly, impatiently, with first-mover courage — the keynote is ignition. Exalted: honored guest conditions — this function is elevated, sometimes idealized.
Moon: exact longitude and sign unavailable because the birth time is unknown. Daily interval 169.5257° → 184.5324° (Virgo → Libra).
Stellium in Aries: Sun, Mercury, Uranus — a concentrated emphasis that colors the whole chart.
Sun conjunction Mercury (orb 1°27′, applying): Sun and Mercury fuse — these functions operate as one package, for better and for richer.
Venus square Pluto (orb 0°52′, separating): Venus and Pluto grind productively — friction between these functions builds real capacity when worked.
Mars opposition Saturn (orb 2°12′, separating): Mars and Saturn face each other across an axis — awareness tends to arrive through other people and counterweights.
