What the chart says

Abraham, according to the stars

Core essence

Abraham is two steps to the left of where you expected. The core of Abraham is a mind that runs on its own current, cares about the whole picture, and cannot pretend to care about the rules for their own sake. They are friend to everyone and fully known by few, and they make the people around them braver about being odd.

How Abraham wants to be loved

Abraham wants to be loved boldly. Venus in Aries falls fast, says so, and wants you to chase back. Grand gestures land, so does a fight followed by a proper make-up. What bores them is hesitation. Be direct, be a little brave about them, and keep the spark lit on purpose.

How Abraham creates

How Abraham makes things happen: they make things grow. A Yin Earth day master is the garden soil, generous, nourishing, the reason other people's ideas take root. Abraham creates by caring for the thing until it works, and they are often the quiet reason a whole group is thriving. The work is keeping some of that richness for themselves.

Instinct

Instinct: Abraham is larger than life, a Dragon year, and their gut reaction is to go big. Confident, lucky, a natural at the centre of things, and warm-hearted underneath the spectacle. The Earth year grounds it: practical, patient, someone people lean on.

Purpose

Purpose: Life Path 5 is the free spirit. Abraham is here to explore, to change, to taste everything and report back. Adventure, variety and freedom are not distractions from their purpose, they are it. The lesson is choosing, sometimes, and staying.

Triggers

Triggers: unfairness, and being forced to pick a side. Mars in Libra hates open conflict and will negotiate for hours to avoid it, then dig in absolutely when a principle is at stake. Abraham fights for balance. The lesson is that sometimes the fair thing is to just say no.

Abraham Lincoln in 15 seconds

Aquarius Sun

Weird on purpose, never sorry.

Abraham Lincoln's Sun was in Aquarius for the whole of February 12, 1809, so no birth time is needed to settle it. Traditional Aquarius readings associate the sign with independence, ideas and a stance slightly apart from the group it belongs to. Astrologers describe it as the fixed air sign, traditionally ruled by Saturn and in modern practice by Uranus, and read it for principle and originality. The corresponding tension is detachment, with the classical caution that caring about everyone can be easier than being close to anyone.

Earth Dragon

Big energy, bigger plans.

Abraham Lincoln was born on February 12, 1809, which falls in a Earth Dragon year of the Chinese calendar. Traditional Dragon readings emphasise confidence, luck and scale: the only mythical animal in the cycle, associated with ambition and with attention that arrives whether or not it was sought. The Chinese almanacs describe the Dragon as the sign of large gestures. The corresponding caution in the tradition is arrogance, and a difficulty with tasks too small to be seen.

Life Path 5

Can't sit still. Won't try.

Abraham Lincoln's birth date, February 12, 1809, reduces to Life Path 5 under the numerology method AsterNym uses. Traditional Life Path 5 readings associate the number with freedom, change and variety: movement, new experience and resistance to restrictive routine. Numerologists describe it as the path of the traveller, adaptable and restless. The corresponding tension is instability, with the caution that constant motion can become a way of avoiding commitment to any one direction.

Abraham’s birth chart

Reference chart · birth time unknown

No documented birth time exists for Abraham Lincoln, so the positions below are checked across the whole birth date, not fixed at noon. The Moon ranges from 22° to 6° Capricorn or Aquarius depending on the hour. The wheel's houses are a solar chart, counted from the Sun's sign, because the Ascendant needs a time.

No birth time, so the houses are a solar chart: the Sun’s sign counts as house 1. A documented time would place them from the Ascendant instead.

Aspects across every possible birth time

Stable aspects hold for any birth hour. Possible ones depend on the hour, so their orb is a range rather than a number. Orb policy western_v1.

Abraham’s Chiron, Ceres, Eros, Hygiea and Lilith

Four minor bodies and the mean lunar apogee, placed in the same tropical zodiac as the planets above. None of these feed the chart signature, the rarity score or any ranking on this site: they are listed for readers who use them. Chiron, Ceres, Eros and Hygiea positions come from JPL Horizons; Black Moon Lilith is the mean apogee, the point most published Lilith tables use. The readings are the modern tradition’s, not AsterNym’s. Without a birth time the degree is the noon value and the day's movement is shown alongside it.

  • ⚷ ChironAquarius 11°45′ (moves 0.08° over the day)

    centaur (2060) · the wound and what is learnt from it

    Chiron in Aquarius is read as a wound around fitting in. The tradition has Abraham making a place among outsiders and keeping the door open for the next one.

  • ⚳ CeresPisces 12°31′ (moves 0.39° over the day)

    dwarf planet (1) · how a person nurtures and wants to be nurtured

    Ceres in Pisces is read as nurture without a boundary: Abraham is read as someone who feels what others need before they say it, and can give past the point of sense.

  • ♡ ErosPisces 20°33′ (moves 0.68° over the day)

    near-Earth asteroid (433) · what draws them and how they desire

    Eros in Pisces is read as desire as dissolving: the wish to merge, and the trouble that follows. Abraham is read as easily moved and hard to pin.

  • ⚕ Hygiea ℞Cancer 4°19′ (moves 0.06° over the day)

    main-belt asteroid (10) · health, routine and what keeps them well

    Hygiea in Cancer is read as health tied to home, mood and belonging. Abraham is read as someone who does not thrive far from a base.

  • ⚸ Black Moon LilithTaurus 26°24′ (moves 0.11° over the day)

    mean lunar apogee · the part that refuses to be tamed

    Black Moon Lilith in Taurus is read as an unbargained appetite: for pleasure, for ownership, for a body that answers to nobody. Abraham is read as immovable on those points.

Aspects to the asteroids and Lilith

Major aspects only, at a tight 3° orb. The Moon is left out because its position moves 13° across an untimed day.

  • Ceres conjunction Pluto 1.1°
  • Eros conjunction Jupiter 1.6°
  • Ceres conjunction Mercury 1.9°
  • Chiron square Uranus 2.1°
  • Black Moon Lilith square Sun 2.7°
  • Ceres trine Uranus 2.8°

Method: JPL Horizons heliocentric vectors, 1700–2100, cubic Hermite interpolation; geocentric, true ecliptic of date, tropical; geometric (no light-time or aberration); Lilith = mean lunar apogee (Chapront/Meeus mean perigee + 180°).

Abraham’s dominant planets

Scored from rulerships, dispositors and aspect count. Without a birth time there is no Ascendant or house to score, and the Moon's sign is left out where it could change with the hour.

  1. 1. ♆ Neptune7 pts

    disposes Mercury, Jupiter, Pluto; 4 major aspects

  2. 2. ♅ Uranus6 pts

    rules the Sun sign, Aquarius; disposes Sun; 2 major aspects

  3. 3. ♇ Pluto4 pts

    disposes Uranus; 3 major aspects

A Neptune-led chart is read as imagination and porousness leading: Abraham is read as tuned to what is not said.

How the score is built
  • Rules the Sun sign, Moon sign or Ascendant sign: 3 points each (traditional co-rulers of Scorpio, Aquarius and Pisces score half).
  • Sits in a sign it rules: 2 points.
  • Disposes another planet (that planet sits in a sign it rules): 1 point each.
  • Angular: 2 points in the first or tenth house, 1 point in the fourth or seventh (timed births only).
  • Every major aspect it makes: 1 point.

Dominance scoring is an AsterNym method. Other sites weight differently and can name a different leader for the same chart.

Configurations in Abraham’s chart

Closed shapes among the ten planets under the site’s one aspect-orb policy. The Moon is excluded without a birth time, so a shape that needs it is not claimed.

No stellium, grand trine, T-square, grand cross, yod or kite closes among the planets that can be placed. That is the common case, not a gap.

Minor aspects

semi-sextile 30° (orb 2°), semi-square 45° (orb 2°), quintile 72° (orb 1.5°), sesquiquadrate 135° (orb 2°), biquintile 144° (orb 1.5°), quincunx 150° (orb 2.5°). Pairs already in a major aspect are not repeated. Moon excluded without a birth time.

  • Mercury sesquiquadrate Mars 0.1°
  • Sun semi-square Venus 1.0°
  • Sun semi-sextile Jupiter 1.5°
  • Venus quincunx Uranus 2.0°

Houses need a birth time. None is documented for Abraham Lincoln, so no house placements are claimed for the planets or the minor bodies above.

Born the same day as Abraham

Charles Darwin was born on February 12, 1809 too, the same date with the same year. With no birth time recorded for any of them, this is the same chart, not a similar one. Same sky, different lives.

No birth time is on public record for Abraham Lincoln, so this chart has three pillars rather than four. The hour pillar, the rising sign and the birth-sky star all need a time, and we would rather leave them out than invent one.

Where this data comes from

Abraham’s birth date and birthplace come from Wikidata Q91, released under CC0, as do the occupations, works, teams and awards in the biography above. No documented birth time is available, so this chart is rated X on the Rodden scale, the astrological convention for how well evidenced a birth time is. Time-dependent results use a clearly labelled reference time and should not be read as their exact birth chart. Entries are matched to Wikidata by entity id rather than by name, kept only at day precision, and dropped where sources disagree on the date.
