Richard Bach’s birth chart

The aspects

23 June 1936, 12:36, Oak Park, IL, USA

A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Richard 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 sextile Moon

You usually have a good-natured and pleasant character and are positively oriented. Although you are emotional, your emotions are usually in accordance with your intellect. You love pleasures, which you usually successfully unite with business and other obligations. Good changes often come your way in life, they are frequently connected to women or with areas, that are generally considered to be women's domain.

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 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 sextile Venus

You are an agreeable and good-humored person, that is why people like you and being around you. You have a mild and compassionate nature, you find something good in everything.

Moon sextile Mars

You are usually a flexible and dynamic person, always in motion and constantly doing something and involved in something.

You have a sense of rhythm and also a natural ability to accumulate your energy and strength well and sensibly.

Moon sextile MC

You are usually a polite, understanding, friendly and respectful person, that is why you are often beneficent to others. You have a sense of people, also business and moderation. You often have good tactical and diplomatic abilities, which can be useful in your life and on your path to success. You progress slowly, but surely, because you have an ambitious and usually enterprising, but not inconsiderate, nature.

Mercury square Neptune

You are restless, sensitive and often quickly change your mood. You are moody, you often seem dispersed and unorganized, that is why you seem confused and chaotic on the outside. You have a very vivid imagination and strong intuition, which you don't always take advantage of well or do it in the “wrong” way.

Venus conjunction Mars

You are usually energetic, impetuous, fiery and passionate, also attractive. You act quickly and impulsively and react quickly and tumultuously, you often take initiative in situations and with your energy also encourage others. You have an enormous amount of inner strength and energy and strong desires and appetites in all areas.

Venus square Ascendant

You want love and understanding and so you perhaps see a mirror in everyone, but you place too much importance in everything and too quickly identify with others and perhaps spend a lot of time searching for yourself through all sorts of contacts and relationships, until you find the right environment or conditions for your growth and calming down. You often find peace and fulfillment through creating (mostly in artistic area).

Venus conjunction MC

Mars square Saturn

You are usually decisive, energetic, enterprising and ambitious, also stubborn. You have a strong desire to succeed in business, but you also often have a rigid character and are not perceptive to other ways, you know the best and do the best. You are critical and demanding, you can also be harsh and even cruel. You aren't too understanding of others, so you can't always cooperate with them well and your business path can be difficult because of it, until you try to also put yourself in other people's shoes and start nurturing compassion.

Mars square Ascendant

You are energetic and have enormous physical abilities, but you don't always organize them best and you either waste your energy or you don't have enough of it. You are extremely motivated, competitive and combative, also (self)destructive, that is why you are prone to injuries. If things aren't happening fast enough or as you imagine them to, you try to speed them up, sometimes with inconsideration and even violence, so your relationships with others aren't easy. These characteristics of yours can be the consequence of feeling unaccepted and of lacking attention in early period of life (and you perhaps feel that you always have to prove yourself).

Mars conjunction MC

You are usually an ambitious, decisive and firm person with clear goals; you know exactly what you want and you also always find a way to achieve it. You are determined and combative, usually nothing is too hard for you, you have no problem doing hard work and experiencing physical strains on the path towards reaching your goals. You don't feel good when things stand still, you don't like inactivity and laziness, you expect and demand a lot from others and from yourself. You often have leadership desires, ambitions and abilities and you try to be your own master, because you don't feel well in humble and/or subordinate role.

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. That is why you can be disappointed and unfulfilled and you feel that you can't get approval and validation and that you have to make too many sacrifices to reach success (although you are able to do it).

Jupiter square Neptune

You are emotional, have strong intuition, vivid imagination and can have a very creative nature, too often you have unrealistic desires and expectations, which don't match your abilities or the realistic state, that is why you can often feel disappointment and you run away from reality, the outer world and also from problems into your dream world and indulge in daydreaming.

Saturn trine Pluto

You are decisive, persistent, deliberate, organized, methodical and disciplined. You have a perspicacious character and are a good judge. You do well for yourself in every situation and learn from every experience, no matter how hard it can be, and later turn it to your benefit. You are interested in history and psychology, also ‘male areas’ (e.g. politics, military, etc.).

Saturn opposition Ascendant

You are usually reserved, distant and untrusting, you always keep appropriate distance, so you often seem unapproachable and cold. You are critical and strict, you demand a lot, from yourself and others. You are often unconfident, sort of stiff and have difficulty relaxing, so your relationships are not always warm and cute. Perhaps this originates from your earliest life period, because you perhaps didn't have enough love and warmth or you had strict upbringing. You need to nurture warmth, gentleness and expressing love and emotions.

Saturn square MC

You are ambitious and enterprising and want to be successful and also have material safety, that is why you devote a lot of your time and energy into business and planning (of the future). You follow your own systems and trust your methods the most, but they are not always compatible with procedures of others and because you are not too adaptable and you make compromises with difficulty, your business and other relationships are hard and success is somehow evading. You neglect your emotional and family life because you are so ambitious.
