Joaquin Phoenix’s birth chart
The aspects
28 October 1974, 12:00, San Juan, Philippines
A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Joaquin as “you”.
Important elements of every horoscope are also the aspects – they are angles which the planets and other important points form with each other.
Here, we consider six most important aspects: Conjunction (0 degrees), Sextile (60 degrees), Square (90 degrees), Trine (120 degrees), Inconjunction (150 degrees), Opposition (180 degrees).
The more accurate the angle between two planets is, the more important and influential is their relationship in your horoscope. When calculating the aspects, we also consider a certain deviation, which depends on the importance of the aspect and the planets involved (deviation can be anywhere from 5 to 10 degrees of the exact angle).
There are also many smaller aspects, which are only important, if they are very accurate (up to 1 degree) and they, of course, have smaller power or influence. They can be of help with a more detailed and deeper analysis or description of personal horoscope, but for now, we do not take them into consideration.
Continue reading the analysis for all your aspects.
Sun inconjunct Moon
With such aspect, you strive for inner harmony and are constantly learning and fulfilling in harmonizing the female and male side of your personality. On one hand you have a lot of strength, on the other you often feel weak, but try to hide it with, for example, a more rough behavior, etc. You often also choose a partner with whom you perhaps don't get along with very much and with whom you somehow change these roles and with whom you need to learn cooperation and adaptation.
Sun conjunction Mercury
Conjunction is actually the only aspect which the Sun and Mercury can form, because the maximum distance between them is less than 30 degrees (and so less than one astrological sign). You are usually a dynamic, moveable and persuasive person and usually have good ability of speech and communication. You quickly make conclusions and connections (unless Mercury is in another bad aspect or goes retrograde) and you often also have a good nose for business, you also master the art of bluffing. You have a sharp and quick mind, sense of detail and you are cunning, although you are also often talented in languages, writing, music and art. You are very sociable, also easy going and adaptable, that is why you have many acquaintances and friends and people, as a rule, like you and often invite you places. You have an audacious, curious and youthful nature and often also looks.
Sun conjunction Venus
Because of such an aspect, you are kind and good-natured and you usually also have a pleasant look, you are often even a very attractive person and in general, you radiate warmness and heartiness. You love life and all pleasures – good food (that is why you often have to fight obesity) and drink, music, art and all other good things in life, including friendships, love and sex. Sometimes you tend to be lazy and take the line of least resistance. You appreciate simple values, are friendly and usually hospitable and people mostly like you because of these characteristics. You often have a talent for artistic professions and can be very successful in them. Because in astrology Venus is attributed a happy and good meaning, your life is mostly accompanied by happiness and good health (unless other strong aspects don't indicate differently). Often, this aspect also promises fertility.
Sun conjunction Mars
Because of such aspect in your personal horoscope, you are usually energetic and combative, dynamic, impetuous and passionate. You are often enthusiastic about sport and also talented or you can achieve (even more visible) results in sport (especially if other positions or aspects of your horoscope emphasis it), you often also work in army or police. Sometimes your impetuousness reflects in intolerance and rebelliousness, you are also prone to injuries. You are usually competitive, but also ambitious enough to fulfill some of your plans. With your strong personality you attract numerous people, because besides leadership abilities you also have dynamic energy, which often also encourages other people, despite the fact that you sometimes are a difficult and too fast character for other people because of your haste, competitiveness and fighting mood and people sometimes hardly keep up with you.
Sun trine Jupiter
With such trine you are usually open, friendly and good-natured, that is why people like you and feel good in your company and around you. You like having fun and enjoying and you combine this quite successfully with the business side, so that you usually do pretty well in life (if, of course, other stronger and more unpleasant aspects don't prevail). You plan a lot, you always look forward and you often educate yourself and grow on both personal and spiritual level. You love children, nature and animals and all beautiful and good things in general. You are prone to exaggerating and dramatizing. You are interested in sport and are also often involved in it, at least as a hobby. You like being in motion and often travel (you are attracted to longer travels and everything, connected to abroad).
Sun conjunction Uranus
Because you have such an aspect, you often stand out even at first glance – whether you look special or have a special personal style or you are simply not the person who looks “as it should” (which could otherwise be expected because of the sign of your Sun or Ascendant). From an early age, you are an individual, have an untamable and often hard to guide nature. Sometimes you are a loner and withdraw into your inner world, sometimes you are sociable, friendly and open. You are moody, changeable and non-conformist. As a rule, you are also extremely intelligent, have strong intuition and expressed sense of welfare for all mankind – you have a wide and rich spectrum of acquaintances and friends with whom you are often connected by rebellious behavior. You stand up for the rights of people and animals, for nature preservation, etc., often you also have a talent for computer science and electronics and so you can be successful also in such and similar areas. You are often anemic and have a more fragile constitution, sometimes you are also prone to diseases whose source is hard to determine (which are usually of a mental nature).
Sun square Ascendant
With such an aspect in your natal chart, you are usually dynamic, energetic and also restless. You are impetuous, competitive, brave and audacious and enthusiastically (and often successfully) tackle all tasks and also your numerous and ambitious plans. However, you often harmonize all sides of your personality with difficulty and sometimes you, at the cost of one side, neglect the other sides. You often show a different image of yourself, which is different from who you really are. You like it when others notice you and have a need for being recognized, making a good impression on others is very important to you. Sometimes you are prone to snobbism.
Sun conjunction MC
The Sun which appears ˝highest˝ in the sky and which is also in conjunction with the axis of the 10th house (MC), actually has a similar influence as when it appears in Ascendant, but it influences you once your personality is already shaped and not so much the characteristics given to you at birth (which is the case with the Ascendant). Its influence is perhaps also not so visible in a physical sense (as in conjunctions with the Ascendant), so it perhaps doesn't influence your looks so much, but more what you radiate and your entire personality, which you build in life, which is tightly connected to the profession you do or the area in which you create. However, the Sun in this position often also influences your looks. You are well-natured and hearty, both in your feats and in leader position, which is not rare, because you often have leadership abilities and are also ambitious and people like and appreciate you because of your positive orientation and energy. You are successful in many professions and you act in manifold areas, most often in such which are in some way or another connected to the public.
Moon inconjunct Mercury
Such position brings you a certain test of expressing emotions and adapting in relationships (especially relationships of emotional nature). You like talking and you talk a lot, you exaggerate, dramatize, you reactions to everything are over sensitive. You worry too much about superfluous things and trivialities, so you often have trouble seeing the essence. You often say something too quickly and then you are sorry, that is why it is useful for you to use ' method of writing letters' in such cases – pour your thoughts on paper and sleep on it, you can still send the letter later. ;)
Moon inconjunct Venus Luna
You usually have strong emotions and are prone to indulge in pleasures, even excessively, but often this is just because you want to satisfy your strong emotional desires and needs. This can also contribute to health problems (of female nature – of course if other aspects also influence this). Emotionally, you can be greedy and impatient, passionate, but also shy. That is why it is very useful for you to have contact with earth and nature, also to do household chores, which can be some kind of meditation for you.
Moon inconjunct Mars
You are usually very passionate and impulsive, you react to everything quickly, strongly and emotionally. In relationships, you are not always patient and tactful, so you sometimes find cooperating with others difficult. Your test is to balance the male and female part of your personality. On one hand, you have a very sensitive character and demand compassion and that others treat you with sensitivity, on the other you don't always act like this towards others.;)
Moon inconjunct Uranus
You are usually torn between being here/inside and being elsewhere/outside, between emotions and reason, your specter of emotions and comprehension of them is enormous.
