Their Astrocartography
Where each planet sat on one of the four angles at the moment John Lennon was born. Tap a line to read what the tradition associates with it.
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.
