Birth chart of Menno Ter Braak

Menno Ter Braak 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.

Menno Ter Braak's chart is framed by Sun in Aquarius, Moon in Virgo, and Capricorn Rising. These three factors give identity and ego, personal dream, play, childhood image, and first impression before the details.

Chart detail:

Moon opposite Venus (orb 1.4°) gives a central dynamic in this reading. The orb is very tight; this describes a stable character pattern more than a passing reaction.

In plain terms, this aspect sets personal dream, childhood imprint, or mother image against desire, love, pleasure, or the image of attraction.

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 Aquarius · Moon in Virgo · Capricorn Rising

First hook: this is where the chart often becomes recognizable in real life. Sun in Aquarius: identity and direction move through independence, networks, distance, and collective change; Moon in Virgo: emotional safety looks for precision, method, usefulness, and attention to detail; Capricorn Rising: the first way into situations uses structure, ambition, responsibility, and long construction. Then read the supports, tensions, and houses to see where this base becomes easy, charged, or visible.

2. Dominants (visible planets)

Visible planets: Saturn and Lilith

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 Saturn near the Rising sign (orb 2.4°) Saturn is close to an angle: its signature shows more easily through first impression, body language, reflexes, and entry style. Here, that highlights discipline, constraint, endurance, and mastery. It matters most when it repeats in choices, relationships, or visible role.
  • Visible Lilith near the Midheaven (orb 4.7°) Lilith is close to an angle: its signature shows more easily through social role, reputation, career, and public image. Here, that highlights pure ideal, absolute demand, fascination, and refusal of compromise. It matters most when it repeats in choices, relationships, or visible role.
3. Important harmonious aspects

Harmonious circuit: Uranus, Mars, Mercury, and Pluto

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 5 (creativity, romance, play, and personal visibility), and House 11 (friends, groups, audience, ideologies, political beliefs, and future projects). It connects Uranus (change, freedom, rupture, and originality), Mars (action, anger, desire, and courage), Mercury (thinking, speech, and decisions), and Pluto (power, crisis, intensity, and deep transformation).

This is the clearest cooperation pattern in the chart: Mars sextile Uranus (orb 0.6°), Mercury sextile Uranus (orb 1.1°), and Mars trine Pluto (orb 2.2°). 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 Mars sextile Uranus (orb 0.6°) Sextile: Mars in Aquarius in House 1 can cooperate with Uranus in Sagittarius in House 11 in the same concrete choice or situation. For this pair, the aspect lets action and change cooperate inventively.
  • Harmony Mercury sextile Uranus (orb 1.1°) Sextile: Mercury in Aquarius in House 1 can cooperate with Uranus in Sagittarius in House 11 in the same concrete choice or situation. For this pair, the aspect lets intellect and Uranus cooperate in invention, quick replies, technology, or a changed perspective.
  • Harmony Mars trine Pluto (orb 2.2°) Trine: Mars in Aquarius in House 1 can support Pluto in Gemini in House 5 naturally and positively.
  • Harmony Mercury trine Pluto (orb 4°) Trine: Mercury in Aquarius in House 1 can support Pluto in Gemini in House 5 naturally and positively. For this pair, the aspect gives intellect ease handling difficult situations: thought can stay lucid under pressure and understand what others avoid.
4. Important tensions

Tension link: Moon and Venus

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 7 (partners, contracts, and direct encounters with others) and House 1 (body, presence, and first reactions). It connects Moon (emotional needs, instinct, and inner safety) and Venus (attraction, pleasure, taste, and relationships).

This is the clearest friction pattern in the chart: Moon opposite Venus (orb 1.4°). 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 Moon opposite Venus (orb 1.4°) Opposition in real life: The house conflict is between House 7 (relationship, confrontation, and the mirror of others) and House 1 (presence, body, and the way experience is entered); pressure in one field tends to reactivate the other. For this pair, the aspect sets personal dream, childhood imprint, or mother image against desire, love, pleasure, or the image of attraction.
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, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Jupiter presence, body, and the way experience is entered.
  • House 7: Moon relationship, confrontation, and the mirror of others.
  • House 10: Lilith vocation, status, responsibility, and public image.


Sun
Sun in Aquarius Identity, ego, father figure
Moon

Rising sign Capricorn

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: Saturn near the Rising sign (orb 2.4°) is close enough to an angle to color what other people perceive. Saturn (discipline, constraint, endurance, and mastery) is most visible through first impression, body language, reflexes, and entry style.

Menno Ter Braak has Sun in Aquarius, in the House 1

How to read this placement

Sun in Aquarius in House 1 is one concrete combination: the Sun gives identity, ego, father figure, visibility, and direction, the Aquarius style gives independence, networks, distance, and collective change, 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.

With the Sun in Aquarius, identity forms through independence, ideas, groups, reform, and distance from ordinary expectations. The person often needs to think for themselves and locate their life inside a larger collective, technical, political, or social pattern. This placement can give originality, intellectual courage, friendship, and the capacity to question inherited rules. It is not only detachment; it is the need to remain free enough to see another possibility. When rigid, the person may become contrary, emotionally unavailable, or attached to being different.
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.


Menno Ter Braak has Moon in Virgo, in the House 7

How to read this placement

Moon in Virgo in House 7 is one concrete combination: the Moon gives personal dream, play, inner child, childhood imprint, mother figure, mother image, optimism, and inner rhythm, the Virgo style gives precision, method, usefulness, and attention to detail, and House 7 gives the life field: relationship, confrontation, and the mirror of others.

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 partners, clients, opponents, negotiations, and direct confrontations. House 7 (relationship, confrontation, and the mirror of others) gives the field; exact aspects show whether the planet is supported, blocked, fused, or contradicted.

Aspect connected to this placement: Moon opposite Venus (orb 1.4°). Aspect effect: sets personal dream, childhood imprint, or mother image against desire, love, pleasure, or the image of attraction.

With the Moon in Virgo, the inner child looks for order, usefulness, practical care, and the sense that life can be improved. The personal dream often becomes concrete through skill, service, health, technique, routines, and the quiet satisfaction of doing something well. This Moon can give attentiveness, humility, precision, and devotion to everyday support. The mother image or childhood imprint may be linked to duty, worry, helpfulness, or the feeling that love had to be useful. Under tension, it can become anxious, self-critical, or unable to rest because something always seems unfinished.
In the 7th house, the Moon brings personal dream, inner child, and childhood imprint into partnership, confrontation, clients, opponents, and the mirror of other people. The person often discovers their feelings through relationship: a partner's mood, approval, absence, or conflict can strongly affect inner security. The inner child looks for companionship and may need to feel chosen. At best, this gives relational sensitivity, tenderness, and a gift for sensing what another person needs. Under stress, it can become dependency, projection, fear of being alone, or changing too much to keep the relationship safe.

    Moon opposite Venus (orb 1.4°) puts the two planets face to face, with visible back-and-forth or tension. The orb is very tight; this describes a stable character pattern more than a passing reaction.

    Here, Moon in Virgo in House 7 brings personal dream, play, inner child, childhood imprint, mother figure, mother image, optimism, and inner rhythm into House 7 (relationship, confrontation, and the mirror of others), with Virgo style (precision, method, usefulness, and attention to detail); Venus in Pisces in House 1 brings desire, taste, relationship, and attraction into House 1 (presence, body, and the way experience is entered), with Pisces style (imagination, faith, compassion, dream, and permeability).

    Concrete conflict: this aspect sets personal dream, childhood imprint, or mother image against desire, love, pleasure, or the image of attraction. The house conflict is between House 7 (relationship, confrontation, and the mirror of others) and House 1 (presence, body, and the way experience is entered); pressure in one field tends to reactivate the other.



Menno Ter Braak has Rising sign in Capricorn

How to read this placement

Capricorn 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 Capricorn style gives structure, ambition, responsibility, and long construction.

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.

Capricorn rising gives a composed first impression: control, seriousness, endurance, and a sense of responsibility. The person may seem older, guarded, or already carrying a role, entering life through structure, effort, and long-term direction.

Menno Ter Braak has Mercury in Aquarius, in the House 1

How to read this placement

More about this placement

Concretely, this placement brings thinking, speech, learning, technique, and mental strategy 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: Mercury conjunct Mars (orb 1.7°). Aspect effect: makes thought move fast into speech, action, or argument.

With Mercury in Aquarius, the intellect is independent, conceptual, inventive, and drawn to systems. The person often communicates through ideas, models, networks, technology, social questions, or unusual perspectives. This placement can give originality, intellectual distance, reforming intelligence, and the ability to see patterns from above. It is not simply contrary; it needs mental freedom. Under stress, it can detach from feeling, become stubbornly theoretical, or reject ordinary language just because it is ordinary.
In the 1st house, Mercury puts intellect, thought, speech, curiosity, and observation directly into presence and first impression. The person may appear quick, verbal, alert, youthful, analytical, or visibly busy in the mind. They often enter situations by asking questions, naming what is happening, or adapting their language to the room. At best, this gives mental agility, social mobility, humor, and a strong ability to explain oneself. Under stress, it can become nervous self-presentation, overexplaining, restlessness, or identifying too much with being clever.

    Mercury conjunct Mars (orb 1.7°) 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 1 (presence, body, and the way experience is entered), with the same Aquarius style (independence, networks, distance, and collective change).

    Concrete cooperation: intellect and Uranus can cooperate in invention, quick replies, technology, or a changed perspective.

    Mercury trine Pluto (orb 4°) shows positive structural ease between the two planets. The orb is moderate; it stays secondary beside tighter signatures.

    Concrete support: this aspect gives intellect ease handling difficult situations: thought can stay lucid under pressure and understand what others avoid.



Menno Ter Braak has Venus in Pisces, in the House 1

How to read this placement

Venus in Pisces in House 1 is one concrete combination: Venus gives desire, taste, relationship, and attraction, the Pisces style gives imagination, faith, compassion, dream, and permeability, and House 1 gives the life field: presence, body, and the way experience is entered.

More about this placement

Concretely, this placement brings desire, taste, attraction, pleasure, and love style 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.

With Venus in Pisces, affection is porous, romantic, compassionate, and strongly moved by imagination. The person may love through empathy, music, poetry, spiritual feeling, sacrifice, or the wish to dissolve separation. This is one of Venus's strongest signs, so beauty can feel sacred or emotionally overwhelming. Taste can be dreamy, oceanic, soft, mystical, or cinematic. Under stress, it can idealize, avoid limits, fall for a fantasy, or give too much before checking whether the other person is really there.
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.

    Venus trine Neptune (orb 4.2°) shows positive structural ease between the two planets. The orb is moderate; it stays secondary beside tighter signatures.

    Concrete support: this aspect gives positive ease between charm, beauty, imagination, and collective receptivity: attraction can carry a very popular or inspiring image.

    Venus square Lilith (orb 4.9°) creates concrete friction between the two planets. The orb is moderate; it stays secondary beside tighter signatures.

    Here, Venus in Pisces in House 1 brings desire, taste, relationship, and attraction into House 1 (presence, body, and the way experience is entered), with Pisces style (imagination, faith, compassion, dream, and permeability); Lilith in Scorpio in House 10 brings pure ideal, absolute demand, fascination, and refusal of compromise into House 10 (vocation, status, responsibility, and public image), with Scorpio style (intensity, desire, crisis, secrecy, and invisible power).

    Concrete friction: this aspect creates tension between relationship, pleasure, desire, impossible ideal, and the need not to yield. Visible angle: Lilith near the Midheaven (orb 4.7°) touches an angle; this aspect is easier to notice through social role, reputation, career, and public image. House 1 (presence, body, and the way experience is entered) is in friction with House 10 (vocation, status, responsibility, and public image); this can create blockage, inhibition, overreaction, or repeated conflict between the two fields.

Under stress, it can become detached, contrary for its own sake, emotionally unavailable, or more loyal to an idea than to the concrete person in front of it.
In the 1st house, Mars puts action directly into body, behavior, first impression, and the way the person enters situations. Others may perceive speed, heat, courage, impatience, or combativeness before they know the rest of the chart. The person often meets life by acting first, testing resistance, and asserting presence physically. At best, this gives initiative, athletic force, directness, and the ability to defend oneself. Under stress, it can become aggression, impulsive reactions, unnecessary conflict, or the feeling that every situation must be won.
