A few minutes' difference in the birth time moves the rising degree; the Sun's and Moon's signs barely change.

Yo-Yo Ma's chart archetype: The Connector

Adding up the elements and modalities of the signs holding the ten planets, the Ascendant and the Midheaven, this chart leans most to air (33%) and cardinal (67%): the chart archetype The Connector. Brings people together: good at talking things through and fair, and needs to say what they think too. Read about The Connector →

An archetype only says which kind of energy carries the most weight in the chart. It is a starting point for reading it, not a judgment of the person.

The tightest aspects in Yo-Yo Ma's chart

An aspect is the angle between two planets; the smaller the orb, the more closely their themes are read as bound together. The tightest in this chart:

• Neptune sextile Pluto, orb 0.5°. Neptune symbolizes dreams, imagination, compassion and blurred boundaries; Pluto, depth, power, transformation and renewal. A sextile is usually described as an easy cooperation that rewards a little effort.
• Venus sextile Jupiter, orb 1.0°. Venus symbolizes love, beauty, values and pleasure; Jupiter, growth, faith, generosity and meaning. A sextile is usually described as an easy cooperation that rewards a little effort.
• Mercury conjunction Neptune, orb 1.2°. Mercury symbolizes thinking, speech, learning and exchange; Neptune, dreams, imagination, compassion and blurred boundaries. A conjunction is usually described as two planets' themes fused, each amplifying the other.
• Mercury sextile Pluto, orb 1.6°. Mercury symbolizes thinking, speech, learning and exchange; Pluto, depth, power, transformation and renewal. A sextile is usually described as an easy cooperation that rewards a little effort.

A birth chart describes the sky at the moment of birth. We use astrology's language as a cultural reference here: it says nothing about the person's character, private life or future.
