Josephine Baker’s birth chart
The aspects
3 June 1906, 11:00, St. Louis, MO, USA
A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Josephine 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 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 Jupiter
Because of such an aspect in your personal horoscope, you mostly have a friendly and well-natured character, are hearty and honest and you have a good sense of humor, that is why you are usually very loved and people like to follow you, because you often also have leadership abilities and are enthusiastic and convincing. You love children, animals and all life's pleasure, including gourmet pleasures, that is why you often have to fight off extra pounds. Otherwise you are usually of good health (if other aspects or positions don't indicate differently), because Jupiter is known as the planet of happiness and welfare, it also promises fertility. You often exaggerate and dramatize, you have impetuous emotions and often and quickly change your mood. You love abundance and luxury, sometimes you are prone to snobbism. You love travelling and you search for wealth, fulfillment and growth in all respects, that is why you have numerous interests and you often educate throughout your life, in one way or another.
Sun square Saturn
You usually have a stubborn and ambitious nature. You sometimes seem a bit stiff, both in behavior and in perception, you prefer conservative to modern approach. Perhaps you had conservative up-bringing with powerful father or some other male influence. You are often driven by a certain inner dissatisfaction and the need for validation and establishment, sometimes also because you lacked love or security in youth. Because of this inner thrust, you are motivated and persistent and you often also achieve success, although you progress slowly.
Sun inconjunct Uranus
You are usually free-spirited and also rebellious, you need to constantly learn to adapt and cooperate with others. On one hand, you are cheerful, open and very sociable, on the other hand, you often withdraw into your inner world and perhaps feel that others don't understand you, that you don't fit in anywhere, etc. It is important for you that you find work (or hobby) which will satisfy your need for creative freedom and original expression.
Moon trine Mars
Such aspect can ease other possible harder aspects, because it brings patience, calmness and self-control, it also enables you to positively and constructively direct, accumulate and use your supply of energy. You are flexible and dynamic, you have sense of rhythm and traffic. You love movement, also outdoors, you are interested in sport and are often also active in it. You are hard-working, conscientious and often also a good influence on others, you successfully motivate people, so you spontaneously manage activities, while others like to follow you and cooperate with you.
Moon trine Pluto
With such aspect, you have an enormous supply of inner strength and energy and also a natural ability to accumulate, use and direct this energy. Although your emotions are strong and you are usually intensive, all your life's experiences help you on your path and you learn something in every thing and know how to use it well next time, because you have a good ability of renewal. You do well in every life situation, possible problems and obstacles just make you stronger. You have a strongly developed intuition, a natural gift for observing and judging and good sense of people. You are passionate and have strong appetites, others often find you attractive and exciting.
Moon inconjunct MC
You are extremely ambitious and usually also quite enterprising, you often have a rather clear vision, only your intermediate steps cause you problems. Namely, you can see the goal, but not the course of events and sometimes, in your strong enthusiasm to achieve the goal as soon as possible, you can choose not the most honorary way to reach it. That is why you often have problems with unsporting people on your way to success, because you forget you can often quickly become just as unsupporting.
Mercury inconjunct Uranus
You are usually a clever person and have a very active mind, but sometimes you find it difficult to find the appropriate ways to exploit this potential. Perhaps you are completely enthusiastic about something and invest all your energy into it or your interest is slapdash and dispersed to many areas. You often “search for yourself” and don't find true interest and work “a little bit here, a little bit there”. You sometimes feel misunderstood and because of it, different from other people and although you are sociable, you don't fit in at once and in every company.
Mercury square Ascendant
You are restless, nervous and always active; both intellectually and literally you are constantly in motion, but it is not always fluent and flexible. You can have a moody and dispersed, also too quick and jerky nature. You love company and are always in the midst of the happening, but you are also not always the most sociable and accessible person, you also often avoid more in-depth contacts. You sometimes have problems expressing yourself, usually because of numerous baffling thoughts and then you can't express your point. It is advisable that you write (or create in similar areas), even if merely for yourself, so that you can “pour your thoughts onto paper” and learn to articulate your thoughts, also make a selection between useful and useless information.
Venus trine Saturn
You are organized, hard-working and diligent. You are reliable and have a good attitude towards authorities and work and you have good working habits. You are usually polite, respectful, have nice manners and behavior, so you mostly get along well with everybody and most often make a good impression. Although you often indulge in good things, you don't like excessive indulgements in pleasures and are not very passionate and fiery, but rather more reserved, easy-going, committed and loyal, and such are also your emotional relationships.
Venus opposition Uranus
You are somehow special, exciting and attractive, you have many acquaintances and connections, but you don't always have understanding for other people and you are not too adaptable, so your emotional relationships are often difficult or special; perhaps you make relationships that others find unusual or even unacceptable or you are completely devoted to a goal (because, it is much easier for you to devote yourself to a goal than to emotional relationships). You have your own values, which others don't always find acceptable.
Venus conjunction Neptune
You are a nice, friendly, mild and gentle, also agreeable and attractive person. You are often in a world of your own and others therefore often find you mysterious.

Mars conjunction Pluto
You are a passionate person with enormous energy and strength, but you don't always succeed in accumulating and taking advantage of them, that is why it is very important for you that you find the appropriate way to release excessive energy.

You can even achieve good results in sport and other areas once you learn to control the 'lower passions', such as exaggerated reactions, being too impetuous and tendency to violence.
Jupiter square Saturn
You have a strong desire for validation, recognition and success and you are often very ambitious and also enterprising, you often set goals that are too high and demand too much from yourself and others.

If other aspects or positions also indicate it, you have a big ability to renew, you can also learn a lot from experiences and turn them to your advantage in the future, because you get the most out of every circumstance and use it for your personal growth. You are interested in 'male areas', such as sport and automobiles.
