Birth chart of Cees Buddingh'

Cees Buddingh' 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.

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

Chart detail:

Jupiter conjunct Pluto (orb 0.7°) 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 joins Jupiter (personal fulfillment, confidence, encouragement, and broader horizons) to Pluto's crisis instinct: Jupiter can express through pressure, control, sexuality, danger, or difficult situations.

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 Leo · Cancer 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 Leo: emotional safety looks for presence, pride, creation, and the wish to be seen; Cancer Rising: the first way into situations uses memory, protection, belonging, and family sensitivity. Then read the supports, tensions, and houses to see where this base becomes easy, charged, or visible.

2. Dominants (visible planets)

Visible planets: Pluto, Jupiter, and Mercury

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 Pluto near the Rising sign (orb 3.1°) Pluto is close to an angle: its signature shows more easily through first impression, body language, reflexes, and entry style. Here, that highlights crisis, power, survival, and regeneration. It matters most when it repeats in choices, relationships, or visible role.
  • Visible Jupiter near the Rising sign (orb 3.8°) Jupiter is close to an angle: its signature shows more easily through first impression, body language, reflexes, and entry style. Here, that highlights personal fulfillment, confidence, encouragement, and broader horizons. It matters most when it repeats in choices, relationships, or visible role.
  • Visible Mercury near the IC (orb 5.8°) Mercury touches a private angle: its signature shows most clearly to close people through private base, family roots, and intimate psychological climate. Here, that highlights intellect, language, thought, and technique. It matters most when it repeats in private choices, close relationships, or family patterns.
3. Important harmonious aspects

Harmonious circuit: Mercury, Pluto, Venus, and Jupiter

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 12 (private time, solitude, retreat, and hidden pressure), House 1 (body, presence, and first reactions), and House 4 (home, family, and private life). It connects Mercury (thinking, speech, and decisions), Pluto (power, crisis, intensity, and deep transformation), Venus (attraction, pleasure, taste, and relationships), and Jupiter (growth, faith, luck, and confidence in the future).

This is the clearest cooperation pattern in the chart: Mercury sextile Pluto (orb 5°), Mercury sextile Venus (orb 4.9°), and Mercury sextile Jupiter (orb 5.7°). 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 Mercury sextile Pluto (orb 5°) Sextile: Mercury in Virgo in House 4 can cooperate with Pluto in Cancer in House 12 in the same concrete choice or situation. For this pair, the aspect lets Mercury and Pluto cooperate in investigation, strategy, sharp speech, or understanding crises.
  • Harmony Mercury sextile Venus (orb 4.9°) Sextile: Mercury in Virgo in House 4 can cooperate with Venus in Cancer in House 1 in the same concrete choice or situation. For this pair, the aspect lets intellect and Venus cooperate in speech, art, negotiation, or the formulation of desire.
  • Harmony Mercury sextile Jupiter (orb 5.7°) Sextile: Mercury in Virgo in House 4 can cooperate with Jupiter in Cancer in House 12 in the same concrete choice or situation. For this pair, the aspect lets intellect and Jupiter cooperate actively: the person can turn knowledge, words, or technique into teaching, confidence, and wider horizons.
4. Important tensions

Pluto square Lilith (orb 5.2°)

No multi-planet tension circuit dominates, but this tight opposition or square is still a real pressure line. Read it as the place where two chart functions push against each other until a practical response is built.

  • Tension Pluto square Lilith (orb 5.2°) Square in real life: House 12 (retreat, contemplation, long time, and possible confinement) is in friction with House 5 (creation, performance, and personal expression); this can create blockage, inhibition, overreaction, or repeated conflict between the two fields.
  • Tension Jupiter square Lilith (orb 5.8°) Square in real life: House 12 (retreat, contemplation, long time, and possible confinement) is in friction with House 5 (creation, performance, and personal expression); this can create blockage, inhibition, overreaction, or repeated conflict between the two fields. For this pair, the aspect creates tension between confidence, fulfillment, excess, impossible ideal, and non-negotiable desire.
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 3: Sun, Moon, and Saturn speech, learning, and the close environment.
  • House 4: Mercury roots, privacy, and inner foundation.
  • House 1: Venus presence, body, and the way experience is entered.

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: Pluto near the Rising sign (orb 3.1°) is close enough to an angle to color what other people perceive. Pluto (crisis, power, survival, and regeneration) is most visible through first impression, body language, reflexes, and entry style.

Cees Buddingh' has Sun in Leo, in the House 3

How to read this placement

Sun in Leo in House 3 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 3 gives the life field: speech, learning, and the close environment.

More about this placement

Concretely, this placement brings identity, ego, father figure, recognition, and personal direction into speech, writing, learning, short trips, and the everyday environment. House 3 (speech, learning, and the close environment) gives the field; exact aspects show whether the planet is supported, blocked, fused, or contradicted.

Aspect connected to this placement: Sun conjunct Moon (orb 2.3°). Aspect effect: makes conscious identity, the inner child, and the personal dream come out together.

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 3rd house, the Sun puts identity into speech, learning, siblings, local movement, and the everyday exchange of information. The person often becomes more themselves by asking, explaining, writing, debating, teaching, or connecting people and ideas. Their ego needs movement and mental contact rather than silence or isolation. At best, this gives curiosity, verbal confidence, and a strong ability to name what is happening around them. Under stress, it can become nervous self-display, scattered attention, or a need to always have the last word.

    Sun conjunct Moon (orb 2.3°) brings the two planets out together. The orb is tight enough to count in the main reading.

    Here, both planets pass through the same life area: House 3 (speech, learning, and the close environment), with the same Leo style (presence, pride, creation, and the wish to be seen). Sun in Leo in House 3 brings identity, ego, father figure, visibility, and direction; Moon in Leo in House 3 brings personal dream, play, inner child, childhood imprint, mother figure, mother image, optimism, and inner rhythm.

    Concrete effect: this aspect makes conscious identity, the inner child, and the personal dream come out together.

    Sun conjunct Saturn (orb 3.8°) 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 3 (speech, learning, and the close environment), with the same Leo style (presence, pride, creation, and the wish to be seen). Sun in Leo in House 3 brings identity, ego, father figure, visibility, and direction; Saturn in Leo in House 3 brings discipline, constraint, endurance, and mastery.

    Concrete effect: this aspect ties identity, ego, and father image to discipline, duty, mastery, and long construction.

    Sun sextile Lilith (orb 2.6°) shows active cooperation between the two planets. The orb is tight enough to count in the main reading.

    Here, Sun in Leo in House 3 brings identity, ego, father figure, visibility, and direction into House 3 (speech, learning, and the close environment), with Leo style (presence, pride, creation, and the wish to be seen); Lilith in Libra in House 5 brings pure ideal, absolute demand, fascination, and refusal of compromise into House 5 (creation, performance, and personal expression), with Libra style (relationship, balance, negotiation, and sense of form).

    Concrete cooperation: identity can cooperate with Lilith's ideal when that demand receives a concrete form. Father-image layer: ego, personal direction, and the father imprint can cooperate with Lilith.

    Sun conjunct Neptune (orb 6.6°) is minor in this chart. The orb is wide; this aspect stays a light nuance.

    Here, both planets use the same Leo style (presence, pride, creation, and the wish to be seen). Sun in Leo in House 3 brings identity, ego, father figure, visibility, and direction; Neptune in Leo in House 2 brings imagination, image, popularity, collective moods, and inspiration.

    Concrete effect: this aspect ties identity to image, dream, inspiration, and popularity.



Cees Buddingh' has Moon in Leo, in the House 3

How to read this placement

Moon in Leo in House 3 is one concrete combination: the Moon gives personal dream, play, inner child, childhood imprint, mother figure, mother image, optimism, and inner rhythm, the Leo style gives presence, pride, creation, and the wish to be seen, and House 3 gives the life field: speech, learning, and the close environment.

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 speech, writing, learning, short trips, and the everyday environment. House 3 (speech, learning, and the close environment) gives the field; exact aspects show whether the planet is supported, blocked, fused, or contradicted.

Aspect connected to this placement: Moon conjunct Saturn (orb 1.5°). Aspect effect: ties the inner child, personal dream, and mother image to discipline, duty, fear, or restraint.

With the Moon in Leo, the inner child wants warmth, play, recognition, loyalty, and love that is visible rather than hidden. The personal dream often has a creative or theatrical tone: to shine, to be loved openly, to protect the heart, and to make life feel generous. This Moon can give confidence, joy, dramatic instinct, and the ability to lift the mood of a room. The mother image or childhood imprint may be linked to pride, attention, performance, or the need to feel special. When hurt, it can become proud, theatrical, or unable to admit how much approval matters.
In the 3rd house, the Moon brings personal dream, inner child, and childhood imprint into speech, learning, siblings, local movement, and daily exchange. The person may process feelings by talking, writing, asking questions, moving around, or staying connected to the close environment. The inner child needs language and contact; silence can make emotions grow louder. At best, this gives emotional intelligence in conversation, memory for stories, and a gift for making others feel understood. Under stress, it can become nervous speech, mood-driven opinions, overthinking, or dependence on constant messages and reassurance.

    Moon conjunct Saturn (orb 1.5°) brings the two planets out together. The orb is very tight; this describes a stable character pattern more than a passing reaction.

    Here, both planets pass through the same life area: House 3 (speech, learning, and the close environment), with the same Leo style (presence, pride, creation, and the wish to be seen). Moon in Leo in House 3 brings personal dream, play, inner child, childhood imprint, mother figure, mother image, optimism, and inner rhythm; Saturn in Leo in House 3 brings discipline, constraint, endurance, and mastery.

    Concrete effect: this aspect ties the inner child, personal dream, and mother image to discipline, duty, fear, or restraint.

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

    Moon sextile Lilith (orb 4.8°) shows active cooperation between the two planets. The orb is moderate; it stays secondary beside tighter signatures.

    Concrete cooperation: the personal dream and mother-image field can cooperate with Lilith's ideal without turning everything dramatic. Mother-image layer: childhood, mother image, and inner child can cooperate with Lilith.



Cees Buddingh' has Rising sign in Cancer

How to read this placement

Cancer rising gives a receptive first impression: protection, memory, emotional caution, and a strong sense of atmosphere. The person may seem approachable or guarded depending on the context, but the entry into life is usually sensitive to safety and belonging.

House 4 (roots, privacy, and inner foundation) gives the field; exact aspects show whether the planet is supported, blocked, fused, or contradicted.

Visible angle: Mercury near the IC (orb 5.8°) touches an angle; this placement is easier to notice through private base, family roots, and psychological climate close people can perceive.

With Mercury in Virgo, the intellect becomes precise, analytical, technical, and oriented toward improvement. 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 4th house, Mercury puts intellect into family, memory, home, origins, and the private base of the chart. The person may think a lot about the past, family stories, roots, housing, or the emotional logic of the private world. Speech may be more intimate than public, and learning can be shaped strongly by the early environment. At best, this gives memory, psychological observation, and the ability to name what happens inside a family or home. Under stress, it can become rumination, private anxiety, family arguments, or difficulty leaving old narratives behind.

    Mercury sextile Venus (orb 4.9°) shows active cooperation between the two planets. The orb is moderate; it stays secondary beside tighter signatures.

    Concrete cooperation: Mercury and Pluto can cooperate in investigation, strategy, sharp speech, or understanding crises. Visible angle: Mercury near the IC (orb 5.8°) and Pluto near the Rising sign (orb 3.1°) touch angles; this aspect is easier to notice through private base, family roots, and intimate psychological climate; also through first impression, body language, reflexes, and entry style.



Cees Buddingh' has Venus in Cancer, in the House 1

How to read this placement

Venus in Cancer in House 1 is one concrete combination: Venus gives desire, taste, relationship, and attraction, the Cancer style gives memory, protection, belonging, and family sensitivity, and House 1 gives the life field: presence, body, and the way experience is entered.

Aspect connected to this placement: Venus conjunct Pluto (orb 9.9°). Aspect effect: joins Venus to Pluto: desire, attraction, beauty, sexuality, power, and crisis come out together.

With Venus in Cancer, affection is protective, tender, and tied to memory, home, and emotional safety. The person often loves by caring, feeding, remembering, defending, and creating a private world where the bond feels held. Taste can be nostalgic, intimate, soft, or connected to family and familiar places. This placement needs emotional trust before it fully opens. Under stress, it can cling, withdraw into hurt, test the other person's loyalty, or confuse love with the need to be sheltered.
In the 1st house, Venus puts attraction, charm, pleasure, taste, and relational style directly into presence and first impression. Others may notice softness, beauty, sociability, elegance, or a desire to be pleasant before they know the rest of the chart. The person often enters situations by smoothing the atmosphere, attracting attention, or making themselves agreeable. At best, this gives grace, social ease, aesthetic presence, and a warm way of meeting life. Under stress, it can become vanity, people-pleasing, dependence on being liked, or avoiding direct conflict to preserve the image.


Cees Buddingh' has Mars in Libra, in the House 5

How to read this placement

Mars in Libra in House 5 is one concrete combination: Mars gives action, courage, competition, and effort, the Libra style gives relationship, balance, negotiation, and sense of form, and House 5 gives the life field: creation, performance, and personal expression.

More about this placement

Aspect connected to this placement: Mars trine Uranus (orb 2.4°). Aspect effect: gives ease acting fast, taking risks, and breaking inertia.

With Mars in Libra, action moves through comparison, strategy, charm, negotiation, and the presence of other people. The person may fight for fairness, beauty, balance, or social correctness, but conflict is often filtered through relationship. This Mars can be diplomatic, persuasive, elegant, and tactically aware. Under stress, it can hesitate, avoid direct confrontation, become passive-aggressive, or turn every action into a negotiation.

The person often wants to create with force, pursue desire openly, and take risks for pleasure or recognition. This placement can make love, art, and games feel alive because there is heat in them. At best, it gives creative courage, athletic play, passion, and bold self-expression. Under stress, it can become dramatic rivalry, risky romance, impatience with children or audiences, or needing excitement to feel alive.

    Mars trine Uranus (orb 2.4°) shows positive structural ease between the two planets. The orb is tight enough to count in the main reading.

    Here, Mars in Libra in House 5 brings action, courage, competition, and effort into House 5 (creation, performance, and personal expression), with Libra style (relationship, balance, negotiation, and sense of form); Uranus in Aquarius in House 9 brings disruption, independence, and change into House 9 (vision, belief, study, and wider horizons), with Aquarius style (independence, networks, distance, and collective change).

    Concrete support: this aspect gives ease acting fast, taking risks, and breaking inertia.

They often become more confident when they can create a safe atmosphere for themselves or others. This Jupiter can give warmth, hospitality, protective generosity, and a strong instinct for emotional timing. Under stress, it can become clannish, sentimental, overprotective, or too dependent on familiar emotional patterns.
With Jupiter in the 12th house, the person finds fulfillment through solitude, retreat, contemplation, compassion, private faith, and long background processes. This is not escape by default; it is the horizon of inner life, long time, invisible support, and meaning found away from immediate noise. At best, it gives quiet faith, generosity toward suffering, and a broad view of life from behind the scenes. Under stress, it can become passive hope, escapism, spiritual inflation, or waiting for rescue instead of acting when action is needed.

    Jupiter conjunct Pluto (orb 0.7°) brings the two planets out together. The orb is extremely tight; this aspect is one of the chart's strongest signals.

    Here, both planets pass through the same life area: House 12 (retreat, contemplation, long time, and possible confinement), with the same Cancer style (memory, protection, belonging, and family sensitivity). Jupiter in Cancer in House 12 brings personal fulfillment, confidence, encouragement, and broader horizons; Pluto in Cancer in House 12 brings crisis, power, survival, and regeneration.

At best, this gives creative resources, generosity, subtle taste, and the ability to make material life carry a dream or artistic tone.

Pluto in Cancer in House 12 is one concrete combination: Pluto gives crisis, power, survival, and regeneration, the Cancer style gives memory, protection, belonging, and family sensitivity, and House 12 gives the life field: retreat, contemplation, long time, and possible confinement.

More about this placement

Concretely, this placement brings crisis, power, sexuality, survival, and transformation into withdrawal, contemplation, long time, possible isolation, and quiet major works. House 12 (retreat, contemplation, long time, and possible confinement) gives the field; exact aspects show whether the planet is supported, blocked, fused, or contradicted.

Visible angle: Pluto near the Rising sign (orb 3.1°) touches an angle; this placement is easier to notice through first impression, body language, reflexes, and entry style.

With Pluto in Cancer, power concentrates around family, childhood, memory, home, protection, and emotional belonging. The person may meet crisis, pressure, or hidden power through family bonds, inherited wounds, private loyalties, and the need to protect what feels vulnerable. This placement can give emotional force, protective authority, and the capacity to heal or rebuild a private foundation. Under stress, it can become emotional control, family power struggles, possessive care, or fear of losing the past.
In the 12th house, Pluto puts deep power into solitude, retreat, contemplation, long background processes, hidden work, institutions, and possible confinement. The person may carry intense material behind the scenes and may need long periods of inner confrontation to understand it. At best, this gives psychological insight, hidden resilience, capacity to work with suffering, and regeneration through retreat or deep contemplation. Under stress, it can become private obsession, fear of invisible threats, isolation, unconscious self-sabotage, or feeling trapped by forces that are difficult to name.

More about this placement

Concretely, this placement brings the pure ideal, absolute demand, desire, fascination, and what refuses to become ordinary into creation, play, performance, children, and personal risk-taking.

With Black Moon Lilith in Libra, the non-negotiable point concerns love, fairness, beauty, partnership, and the balance of power between people. The person may refuse relationships that look harmonious but quietly erase desire, anger, or equality. This placement can give seductive clarity, aesthetic intensity, and a demand for real reciprocity. Under stress, it can become relational absolutism, fear of unfairness, attraction to complicated partners, or rejection of compromise when compromise feels false.
In the 5th house, Black Moon Lilith puts absolute desire into creativity, romance, children, play, performance, and pleasure. The person may need love, art, sex, and self-expression to feel alive, honest, and unfiltered. At best, this gives raw creativity, erotic honesty, powerful performance, and refusal to make pleasure polite. Under stress, it can become dramatic pride, romantic absolutism, jealousy, provocative risk-taking, or fear that ordinary joy is not intense enough to be real.
