Ursula von der Leyen birth chart without a birth time

Birth data

Ursula von der Leyen, born Ursula Albrecht, was born on October 8, 1958, in Ixelles, one of the municipalities of Brussels. Earlier a German federal minister, she has led the European Commission since 2019, the first woman in the post. Her birth time is unknown, so the chart is cast for noon. The features that stand out are three personal planets in Libra and Mars in Gemini square Pluto.

What is known and what is not

The date of October 8, 1958, is given by the Kosmos Welt-Almanach on the website of Germany's Federal Agency for Civic Education (bpb), by her Bundestag biography, which members supply themselves, by Astrotheme and by Wikidata. The place, Ixelles (Elsene in Dutch), is named by bpb, Astrotheme and Wikidata. According to the Bundestag biography, she attended the European School in Brussels from 1964 to 1971. No hospital is named, so the coordinates are those of the centre of Ixelles.

No birth time comes from her, her family or a document. Astro-Databank has no page on her: she is mentioned only as a daughter on the page of her father, Ernst Albrecht, with no birth data. Astrotheme gives the date with the time marked as unknown. We found no other versions of the time with a source, so the Rodden rating is X: time unknown.

The chart is cast for 12:00 Central European Time (UTC+1); Belgium had no daylight saving time in 1958. It has no houses, Ascendant or MC, and we give neither the Moon's degree nor its aspects. The Moon's sign is known: the Moon stayed in Leo for the whole of October 8. How we handle charts without a time is explained in the methodology.

A stellium in Libra

Venus at 5°56′ Libra, the Sun at 14°39′ Libra and Mercury at 16°50′ Libra form a stellium. The Sun is conjunct Mercury with an orb of 2°11′. Venus is in its own sign, and classical astrology counts it strong there.

Tradition links Libra with agreement, the balance of two sides, diplomacy and work in a pair or a team. The Sun with Mercury in this sign is read as a mind that weighs the arguments of both sides and looks for a formula everyone can accept.

The tightest aspect in the noon chart is the semisextile of Venus to Jupiter at 6°08′ Scorpio, with an orb of 0°12′. Venus moves fast, so at other hours of the day it may have been wider.

Sun and Mercury between Uranus and Chiron

Uranus at 15°27′ Leo and Chiron at 17°51′ Aquarius stand in opposition with an orb of 2°23′. The Sun and Mercury in Libra lie between them and are tied to both ends by easy angles. The Sun sextiles Uranus with an orb of 0°48′, and Mercury sextiles Uranus with an orb of 1°22′. Mercury trines Chiron with an orb of 1°00′ at noon, and the Sun trines Chiron with an orb of 3°11′.

Astrologers link Uranus with novelty and independence, and Chiron, in the modern reading, with vulnerability and experience that can be passed on to others. Tradition reads the Sun's and Mercury's sextiles and trines as a knack for finding a practical way through the tension between these two poles.

Mars in Gemini square Pluto

Mars at 2°30′ Gemini is square Pluto at 3°23′ Virgo with an orb of 0°52′. Tradition links Mars in Gemini with quick reactions, words used as tools and several tasks at once. In the traditional reading the square to Pluto adds pressure, persistence and the will to see things through.

Mars is tied to several more planets by smaller angles. Mercury is sesquiquadrate Mars with an orb of 0°39′ at noon. Mars is quintile Uranus with an orb of 0°57′. Venus trines Mars with an orb of 3°25′.

Jupiter and Neptune in Scorpio

Jupiter at 6°08′ Scorpio and Neptune at 3°46′ Scorpio are conjunct with an orb of 2°21′. Neptune sextiles Pluto with an orb of 0°23′, and Jupiter sextiles Pluto with an orb of 2°45′. Jupiter is also semisquare Saturn at 20°42′ Sagittarius with an orb of 0°25′. Tradition links Scorpio with depth and endurance, and Jupiter with Neptune in this sign with large goals and belief in them.
