Born March 31, 1596 · Descartes · Writers

René Descartes’s zodiac sign, or star sign, is Aries. This page shows René Descartes’s full natal chart (also called a birth chart) - every planet’s sign and placement, calculated from the ephemeris for March 31, 1596, with the Moon approximately in Taurus.

Birth timeUnknown
Birth time unknown. Wikidata records the date and place but not the clock time of birth, so this is a noon chart: the Ascendant, Midheaven and house placements are omitted, and the Moon (which moves ~12–14° per day) is approximate. Sun and the slower planets are reliable to the sign.

Chart summary

René Descartes’s noon chart is fire-dominant - 6 of the ten major bodies fall in fire signs - with cardinal signs most common by modality. The Sun is in Aries and the Moon is approximately in Taurus. The tightest planetary aspect is Sun Quintile Mars (orb 0.7°). 2 planets are retrograde. All positions are measured from the ephemeris for noon local time; no interpretation is implied.
