Theoretical physicist

Albert Einstein

The physicist who reshaped our picture of space, time, and gravity. His birth in Ulm is recorded to the half-hour; he died in his sleep in Princeton in the small hours of the morning.

Ten planets on four angles is forty lines, which is more than the interactive tool opens with on purpose. Draw your own map to choose which planets to show.

Charts are computed from real planetary positions (Swiss Ephemeris) for the recorded moment and place. Recorded times can carry small uncertainties; treat house and ascendant placements accordingly.
