River Phoenix’s birth chart
The aspects
23 August 1970, 12:10, Madras, OR, USA
A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to River 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 square Moon
The Sun square the Moon often forces you to a certain inner fight between reason and emotions and that is why you are not always most successful in harmonizing the two areas. You often put you reason above your emotions (but this also depends on other positions and aspects), which usually leads to dissatisfaction. On the other hands, this inner dissatisfaction often motivates you, drives you forward and also encourages you to solve conflicts and pushes you to personal growth. You have difficulty completely relaxing, you often seem tense and nervous (that is why you often experience emotional problems or stress, which can lead to disease, especially if other positions and aspects also emphasize it).
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 sextile Jupiter

Numerous opportunities come your way in your life and you can take advantage of many of them successfully, as well as of manifold acquaintances. This aspect is also favorable for your health.
Sun square Neptune
You often have difficulties harmonizing your desires, expectations and dreams with reality and actual abilities or possibilities. On the other hand, these desires and dreams lead to fulfillment of your numerous goals, because you have many abilities in different areas. Unfortunately, you sometimes take advantage of these abilities merely as a good bluff or you can use them positively in numerous artistic areas, such as acting, and also many others, in which you need imagination besides getting in touch with other people's feelings and testing and shaping different roles and situations.
Moon trine Mercury

For you, everything is happening too slowly, because you tend to act (too)fast and also to speed up events, which sometimes leads to having conflicts with others.

You have a very passionate nature and are often involved in dramatic relationships, sometimes also colored with violence (if other aspects or positions also indicate this).

Moon opposition Neptune
This aspect gives vivid imagination and strong intuition. You are usually over sensitive and react strongly to all vibrations. Emotions influence all areas of your life, which sometimes can also be difficult, both for you and for the environment. If you get upset and something hurts you, you often withdraw into your own inner world, where you ‘digest’ impressions and can fantasize as much as you want. You seem absent, sometimes it seems your attention is wandering, you have evasive nature, so many find you to be mysterious, exciting and therefore attractive and so you usually don't have problems keeping company. You often idealize relationships and so you can often experience disappointment. You often move in artistic circles and also have talent for art and perhaps create in this area (which is, for you, also very advisable and useful). You react strongly to aggressive substances, you are prone to allergies and have sensitive skin and circulation.
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 are passionate and have strong appetites, others often find you attractive and exciting.

Mercury conjunction Pluto

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 Neptune
You are emotional, sensitive and have strong intuition, but it is often not of much help to you; whether you don't follow it or you place too much importance on different possible perspectives, which are often only your mind constructs and fantasies or even your escape from reality and this actually distances you from the right path. You indulge in daydreaming and sometimes you spend too much time and attention daydreaming, so you are caught in a vicious circle of inactivity and stressful and depressive emotions.
Jupiter conjunction Ascendant
You are usually a pleasant, warm, good-humored and agreeable person, often of attractive and handsome look. People like you and you have a big circle of acquaintances and friends. You love nature and art, pleasures, sometimes also excessively, that is why you can be overweight or have other problems that are the consequence of excessive pleasures. Otherwise, you mostly have good health (especially if other positions or aspects also contribute to it), because you have a healthy and positive attitude towards life.
Saturn opposition Neptune
You are a thinking, visionary person, with very rich inner world and developed imagination. You are extremely sensitive to opinions and critiques of others and don't always face the truth and facts well, so you sometimes rather withdraw and give up, instead of fight and persist.

You neglect your emotional and family life because you are so ambitious.
Neptune sextile Pluto
You are emotional, intuitive and usually have a very rich inner and dream world. You are interested in everything which is mysterious and creates agitation. You are creative and have active imagination.
