Birth chart of Claude Bragdon

Claude Bragdon birth chart is shown with zodiac signs, planetary houses, and aspects so it can be read as a complete astrological structure rather than a single Sun sign.

Claude Bragdon's chart is framed by Sun in Leo, Moon in Aries, and Leo Rising. These three factors give identity and ego, personal dream, play, childhood image, and first impression before the details.

Chart detail:

Sun trine Moon (orb 1.0°) gives a central dynamic in this reading. The orb is extremely tight; this aspect is one of the chart's strongest signals.

In plain terms, this aspect gives background confidence between ego, inner child, dream, and optimism. Family-image layer: the trine shows structural support between father image and mother image.

  • Sun in Leo , in House 1
  • Moon in Aries , in House 9
  • Rising sign in Leo

Because the birth time is available, houses and angular dominants can be used, with each conclusion tied to a precise chart combination.

Analysis

Astrological birth chart geometry with aspect lines
This visual shows the chart geometry before the reading separates the Big Three, planets, houses, and aspects.

How to read this chart

This section gives a concrete reading thread. It highlights the most visible signatures, then the tabs keep each placement separate instead of mixing everything together.

Reading map

Start here: a short reading that shows what hooks, what helps, what pushes back, and where it becomes concrete.

1. Big Three, Personal Essence

Sun in Leo · Moon in Aries · Leo Rising

First hook: this is where the chart often becomes recognizable in real life. Sun in Leo: identity and direction move through presence, pride, creation, and the wish to be seen; Moon in Aries: emotional safety looks for initiative, speed, confrontation, and direct action; Leo Rising: the first way into situations uses presence, pride, creation, and the wish to be seen. Then read the supports, tensions, and houses to see where this base becomes easy, charged, or visible.

2. Dominants (visible planets)

Visible planets: Sun

Dominants are planets close to the Rising sign, Midheaven, Descendant, or IC. They describe what becomes visible quickly: presence, public role, direct relationship style, or private climate. Every angular dominant found within the orb is listed below.

  • Visible Sun near the Rising sign (orb 4°) The Sun is close to an angle: its signature shows more easily through first impression, body language, reflexes, and entry style. Here, that highlights identity, ego, father figure, visibility, and direction. It matters most when it repeats in choices, relationships, or visible role.
3. Important harmonious aspects

Harmonious triangle: Moon, Sun, and Mars

This is the easiest door into the chart: it shows what tends to cooperate naturally.

This pattern describes what comes more easily. It shows up mainly through House 1 (body, presence, and first reactions), House 9 (beliefs, studies, travel, and worldview), and House 11 (friends, groups, audience, ideologies, political beliefs, and future projects). It connects Moon (emotional needs, instinct, and inner safety), Sun (identity, confidence, and direction), and Mars (action, anger, desire, and courage).

This is the clearest cooperation pattern in the chart: Sun trine Moon (orb 1.0°), Moon sextile Mars (orb 2.8°), and Sun sextile Mars (orb 3.8°). It shows where functions support each other, recover, or come naturally when used together. Because several planets are connected, the full pattern matters more than one isolated aspect.

  • Harmony Sun trine Moon (orb 1.0°) Trine: Sun in Leo in House 1 can support Moon in Aries in House 9 naturally and positively. For this pair, the aspect gives background confidence between ego, inner child, dream, and optimism. Family-image layer: the trine shows structural support between father image and mother image.
  • Harmony Moon sextile Mars (orb 2.8°) Sextile: Moon in Aries in House 9 can cooperate with Mars in Gemini in House 11 in the same concrete choice or situation. For this pair, the aspect lets personal dream, inner child, and action cooperate quickly. Mother-image layer: childhood, mother image, and inner child can cooperate with Mars.
  • Harmony Sun sextile Mars (orb 3.8°) Sextile: Sun in Leo in House 1 can cooperate with Mars in Gemini in House 11 in the same concrete choice or situation. For this pair, the aspect lets identity and action cooperate in a concrete field. Father-image layer: ego, personal direction, and the father imprint can cooperate with Mars.
4. Important tensions

Tension link: Mercury and Mars

This is the pressure line to read first: it shows where tension repeats in concrete situations.

This pattern shows where pressure builds fastest. It shows up mainly through House 2 (money, security, and self-worth) and House 11 (friends, groups, audience, ideologies, political beliefs, and future projects). It connects Mercury (thinking, speech, and decisions) and Mars (action, anger, desire, and courage).

This is the clearest friction pattern in the chart: Mercury square Mars (orb 1°). It shows where pressure, contradiction, or repeated effort concentrates. No wider group outranks this link, so read it as a strong but isolated signal.

  • Tension Mercury square Mars (orb 1°) Square in real life: House 2 (resources, values, and security) is in friction with House 11 (networks, audience, groups, ideas, ideologies, political beliefs, and collective projects); this can create blockage, inhibition, overreaction, or repeated conflict between the two fields. For this pair, the aspect creates mental impatience: thought and action interrupt or provoke each other.
5. Important houses

These houses answer the concrete question: where in life does the chart become visible? Look here for the repeated choices, relationships, work, or crises that make the rest of the chart real.

  • House 1: Sun presence, body, and the way experience is entered.
  • House 9: Moon and Neptune vision, belief, study, and wider horizons.
  • House 2: Mercury and Venus resources, values, and security.

The three foundations

Start from the three base placements below: the Sun gives identity, ego, and father image; the Moon gives personal dream, play, childhood imprint, mother image, and the inner child; the Rising sign gives first impression, body language, and entry style. Then dominant planets and exact aspects show what carries the most weight.

Dominant layer: Sun near the Rising sign (orb 4°) is close enough to an angle to color what other people perceive. Sun (identity, ego, father figure, visibility, and direction) is most visible through first impression, body language, reflexes, and entry style.

Claude Bragdon has Sun in Leo, in the House 1

How to read this placement

Sun in Leo in House 1 is one concrete combination: the Sun gives identity, ego, father figure, visibility, and direction, the Leo style gives presence, pride, creation, and the wish to be seen, and House 1 gives the life field: presence, body, and the way experience is entered.

More about this placement

Concretely, this placement brings identity, ego, father figure, recognition, and personal direction into body language, arrival style, reflexes, and first impression. House 1 (presence, body, and the way experience is entered) gives the field; exact aspects show whether the planet is supported, blocked, fused, or contradicted.

Aspect connected to this placement: Sun trine Moon (orb 1.0°). Aspect effect: gives background confidence between ego, inner child, dream, and optimism. Family-image layer: the trine shows structural support between father image and mother image.

Visible angle: Sun near the Rising sign (orb 4°) touches an angle; this placement is easier to notice through first impression, body language, reflexes, and entry style.

With the Sun in Leo, identity forms through creative presence, pride, generosity, and the wish to radiate something personal. The person often needs to feel seen for what they create, lead, love, or perform. This placement can give warmth, loyalty, courage, dramatic instinct, and a natural sense of style. It is not only vanity; it is the need to put the heart into visible form. When unbalanced, the person may depend too much on applause or turn vulnerability into performance.
In the 1st house, the Sun puts identity directly into presence, body, behavior, and first impression. The person is often noticed through the way they enter situations, take space, show will, and present themselves physically. This does not automatically mean arrogance; it means the ego is visible and hard to separate from the outer personality. At best, this gives confidence, directness, vitality, and a clear sense of personal direction. Under stress, the person may feel they must constantly prove who they are or turn every situation into a test of self-assertion.

    Sun trine Moon (orb 1.0°) shows positive structural ease between the two planets. The orb is extremely tight; this aspect is one of the chart's strongest signals.

    Here, Sun in Leo in House 1 brings identity, ego, father figure, visibility, and direction into House 1 (presence, body, and the way experience is entered), with Leo style (presence, pride, creation, and the wish to be seen); Moon in Aries in House 9 brings personal dream, play, inner child, childhood imprint, mother figure, mother image, optimism, and inner rhythm into House 9 (vision, belief, study, and wider horizons), with Aries style (initiative, speed, confrontation, and direct action).

    Concrete support: this aspect gives background confidence between ego, inner child, dream, and optimism. Family-image layer: the trine shows structural support between father image and mother image. Visible angle: Sun near the Rising sign (orb 4°) touches an angle; this aspect is easier to notice through first impression, body language, reflexes, and entry style.

    Sun square Saturn (orb 2.8°) creates concrete friction between the two planets. The orb is tight enough to count in the main reading.

    Here, Sun in Leo in House 1 brings identity, ego, father figure, visibility, and direction into House 1 (presence, body, and the way experience is entered), with Leo style (presence, pride, creation, and the wish to be seen); Saturn in Scorpio in House 4 brings discipline, constraint, endurance, and mastery into House 4 (roots, privacy, and inner foundation), with Scorpio style (intensity, desire, crisis, secrecy, and invisible power).

    Concrete friction: this aspect makes identity, ego, and father image meet Saturn pressure: confidence, recognition, or the father relationship may have to grow through duty, delay, judgment, authority, or fear of failure. Visible angle: Sun near the Rising sign (orb 4°) touches an angle; this aspect is easier to notice through first impression, body language, reflexes, and entry style. House 1 (presence, body, and the way experience is entered) is in friction with House 4 (roots, privacy, and inner foundation); this can create blockage, inhibition, overreaction, or repeated conflict between the two fields.

    Sun trine Neptune (orb 3.9°) shows positive structural ease between the two planets. The orb is moderate; it stays secondary beside tighter signatures.

    Here, Sun in Leo in House 1 brings identity, ego, father figure, visibility, and direction into House 1 (presence, body, and the way experience is entered), with Leo style (presence, pride, creation, and the wish to be seen); Neptune in Aries in House 9 brings imagination, image, popularity, collective moods, and inspiration into House 9 (vision, belief, study, and wider horizons), with Aries style (initiative, speed, confrontation, and direct action).

    Concrete support: this aspect gives positive ease embodying an inspiring or popular image. Father-image layer: ego, personal direction, and the father imprint are supported by Neptune. Visible angle: Sun near the Rising sign (orb 4°) touches an angle; this aspect is easier to notice through first impression, body language, reflexes, and entry style.

    Sun sextile Mars (orb 3.8°) shows active cooperation between the two planets. The orb is moderate; it stays secondary beside tighter signatures.

    Here, Sun in Leo in House 1 brings identity, ego, father figure, visibility, and direction into House 1 (presence, body, and the way experience is entered), with Leo style (presence, pride, creation, and the wish to be seen); Mars in Gemini in House 11 brings action, courage, competition, and effort into House 11 (networks, audience, groups, ideas, ideologies, political beliefs, and collective projects), with Gemini style (curiosity, language, movement, and mental adaptation).

    Concrete cooperation: identity and action can cooperate in a concrete field. Father-image layer: ego, personal direction, and the father imprint can cooperate with Mars. Visible angle: Sun near the Rising sign (orb 4°) touches an angle; this aspect is easier to notice through first impression, body language, reflexes, and entry style.



Claude Bragdon has Moon in Aries, in the House 9

How to read this placement

Moon in Aries in House 9 is one concrete combination: the Moon gives personal dream, play, inner child, childhood imprint, mother figure, mother image, optimism, and inner rhythm, the Aries style gives initiative, speed, confrontation, and direct action, and House 9 gives the life field: vision, belief, study, and wider horizons.

More about this placement

Concretely, this placement brings personal dream, play instinct, inner child, childhood imprint, mother figure, mother image, optimism, and inner rhythm into travel, higher study, beliefs, foreign cultures, and society at large. House 9 (vision, belief, study, and wider horizons) gives the field; exact aspects show whether the planet is supported, blocked, fused, or contradicted.

With the Moon in Aries, the inner child wants movement, directness, and the right to act quickly. The personal dream is not passive: it pushes toward decision, challenge, honesty, courage, and sometimes anger when life feels blocked. The mother image or childhood imprint can be linked to speed, independence, conflict, or the need to become brave early. At its best, this Moon gives freshness, optimism, initiative, and the courage to follow a desire before it becomes overthought. Under stress, it can become impatient, reactive, or unable to stay with a fragile situation that cannot be solved immediately.
In the 9th house, the Moon brings personal dream, inner child, and childhood imprint into travel, foreign cultures, learning, belief, politics, teaching, and the enlargement of consciousness. The inner child needs a horizon: movement, discovery, meaning, and contact with worlds larger than the familiar. This is a Moon that can dream through journeys, books, society, ideals, or the feeling that life has a larger promise. At best, it gives optimism, cultural openness, and emotional confidence through exploration. Under stress, it can become restlessness, escape into beliefs, or disappointment when reality is smaller than the dream.

    Same aspect, other side: the full reading is under the other planet, and it also applies to Moon.

    Moon square Uranus (orb 1.7°) creates concrete friction between the two planets. The orb is very tight; this describes a stable character pattern more than a passing reaction.

    Here, Moon in Aries in House 9 brings personal dream, play, inner child, childhood imprint, mother figure, mother image, optimism, and inner rhythm into House 9 (vision, belief, study, and wider horizons), with Aries style (initiative, speed, confrontation, and direct action); Uranus in Cancer in House 12 brings disruption, independence, and change into House 12 (retreat, contemplation, long time, and possible confinement), with Cancer style (memory, protection, belonging, and family sensitivity).

    Concrete friction: this aspect creates concrete instability between attachment, childhood imprint, personal dream, and rupture. House 9 (vision, belief, study, and wider horizons) is in friction with House 12 (retreat, contemplation, long time, and possible confinement); this can create blockage, inhibition, overreaction, or repeated conflict between the two fields.

    Moon sextile Mars (orb 2.8°) shows active cooperation between the two planets. The orb is tight enough to count in the main reading.

    Here, Moon in Aries in House 9 brings personal dream, play, inner child, childhood imprint, mother figure, mother image, optimism, and inner rhythm into House 9 (vision, belief, study, and wider horizons), with Aries style (initiative, speed, confrontation, and direct action); Mars in Gemini in House 11 brings action, courage, competition, and effort into House 11 (networks, audience, groups, ideas, ideologies, political beliefs, and collective projects), with Gemini style (curiosity, language, movement, and mental adaptation).

    Concrete cooperation: personal dream, inner child, and action can cooperate quickly. Mother-image layer: childhood, mother image, and inner child can cooperate with Mars.

    Moon conjunct Neptune (orb 4.9°) brings the two planets out together. The orb is moderate; it stays secondary beside tighter signatures.

    Here, both planets pass through the same life area: House 9 (vision, belief, study, and wider horizons), with the same Aries style (initiative, speed, confrontation, and direct action). Moon in Aries in House 9 brings personal dream, play, inner child, childhood imprint, mother figure, mother image, optimism, and inner rhythm; Neptune in Aries in House 9 brings imagination, image, popularity, collective moods, and inspiration.

    Concrete effect: this aspect mixes the inner child, personal dream, and mother image with image, dream, popularity, or collective moods.



Claude Bragdon has Rising sign in Leo

How to read this placement

Leo Rising combines the Rising sign with the sign on the first-house cusp. The Rising sign describes first impression, body language, reflexes, and the way the person enters situations; the Leo style gives presence, pride, creation, and the wish to be seen.

More about this placement

Concretely, this signature appears through immediate presence: posture, arrival rhythm, spontaneous reaction, and first contact with other people. A planet close to the Rising sign can become louder than the sign itself.

Leo rising gives a radiant first impression: posture, presence, pride, drama, and a visible sense of role. The person often enters situations as if a stage already exists, even when the expression is quiet.

The person often notices errors, missing pieces, practical consequences, and the exact word that changes the meaning. This placement can give strong diagnostic ability, method, craft, editing skill, and clear problem-solving. It is Mercury in one of its strongest signs. Under stress, it can over-correct, worry, criticize, or become trapped in details before the larger question is answered.
In the 2nd house, Mercury puts intellect into money, skills, voice, resources, possessions, and personal value. The person may learn best through practical use and may think carefully about what can be built, earned, stored, sold, or made useful. Speech can become a resource: a voice, a craft, a technical skill, or a way to negotiate value. At best, this gives business sense, practical intelligence, and the ability to turn ideas into tangible assets. Under stress, it can become worry about money, mental attachment to security, or reducing value to what can be counted.

    Mercury square Mars (orb 1°) creates concrete friction between the two planets. The orb is very tight; this describes a stable character pattern more than a passing reaction.

With Venus in Virgo, affection is shown through care, usefulness, precision, and attention to the small details that make life work. The person may love by helping, improving, noticing what is needed, and choosing reliability over display. Taste can be refined, clean, modest, well-made, or quietly exact. This placement does not always announce desire loudly; it proves interest through competence and presence. Under stress, it can over-analyze, criticize, hold back pleasure, or make love feel like a problem to solve.
In the 2nd house, Venus puts attraction and pleasure into money, body, voice, possessions, food, comfort, and personal value. The person may build confidence through beauty, sensuality, stable resources, or the ability to enjoy what life offers. Taste becomes practical here: what is worth buying, keeping, touching, wearing, hearing, or cultivating. At best, this gives material grace, a pleasant voice, financial tact, and a talent for creating comfort. Under stress, it can become laziness, possessiveness, overspending, attachment to luxury, or confusing self-worth with appearance or money.

    Venus trine Pluto (orb 2.5°) shows positive structural ease between the two planets. The orb is tight enough to count in the main reading.

    Here, Venus in Virgo in House 2 brings desire, taste, relationship, and attraction into House 2 (resources, values, and security), with Virgo style (precision, method, usefulness, and attention to detail); Pluto in Taurus in House 10 brings crisis, power, survival, and regeneration into House 10 (vocation, status, responsibility, and public image), with Taurus style (nature, good food, physical sensuality, roots, resources, and perseverance).

House 11 (networks, audience, groups, ideas, ideologies, political beliefs, and collective projects) gives the field; exact aspects show whether the planet is supported, blocked, fused, or contradicted.

With Mars in Gemini, action passes through words, nervous speed, argument, movement, and ideas. The person fights with language, reacts quickly to information, and often needs several active channels at once. This can give verbal courage, technical initiative, strategic adaptability, and a talent for acting through communication. Under stress, energy scatters, debates replace decisions, and conflict can become restless, sarcastic, or mentally exhausting.
In the 11th house, Mars puts action into friends, groups, networks, audiences, ideas, ideologies, political causes, teams, and collective projects. The person may fight for a group, compete inside a network, or bring energy to movements and shared goals. Desire becomes social here: it wants impact, allies, victories, and a future worth pushing toward. At best, this gives team drive, activist courage, and the ability to mobilize people.

Under stress, it can become rigid, status-driven, emotionally dry, or unable to enjoy success until it has been fully justified.
With Jupiter in the 6th house, the person finds fulfillment through work, service, health, craft, routine, and practical improvement. Daily necessity is the basic container, but Jupiter asks how ordinary life can become useful, meaningful, generous, and personally satisfying. At best, this gives productive goodwill, practical wisdom, mentorship, and the ability to make everyday life encouraging. Under stress, it can become overcommitting, taking on too much work, giving advice too freely, or assuming the body can absorb every excess.

    Jupiter sextile Lilith (orb 1.3°) shows active cooperation between the two planets. The orb is very tight; this describes a stable character pattern more than a passing reaction.

    Here, Jupiter in Capricorn in House 6 brings personal fulfillment, confidence, encouragement, and broader horizons into House 6 (daily work, technique, and bodily discipline), with Capricorn style (structure, ambition, responsibility, and long construction); Lilith in Scorpio in House 4 brings pure ideal, absolute demand, fascination, and refusal of compromise into House 4 (roots, privacy, and inner foundation), with Scorpio style (intensity, desire, crisis, secrecy, and invisible power).

With Saturn in Scorpio, discipline is applied to power, intimacy, sexuality, crisis, trust, and psychological depth. The person may be forced to confront fear, control, loss, jealousy, or hidden motives rather than staying on the surface. This can give emotional endurance, strategic depth, and the ability to stay lucid in intense situations. Under stress, it can become suspicion, secrecy, control, or difficulty surrendering to another person.
In the 4th house, Saturn puts responsibility into family, home, roots, memory, childhood, and the private base of life. The person may feel they must build inner security through effort rather than receiving it easily. At best, this gives emotional endurance, loyalty to roots, capacity to protect a household, and maturity in private life.
