Princess Diana

Princess of Wales and humanitarian

Diana, Princess of Wales, was born at Park House on the Sandringham estate and became one of the most recognized public figures of the late 20th century. She died in Paris in 1997.

we never invent one

Notes on this chart

The published accounts of this birth time disagree by several hours, and the chart turns out to be unusually indifferent to the argument. The Moon was moving 14.772° that day, near the fastest it travels, and even so it spent the whole of it in Aquarius, 12°52′ to 27°38′. Whichever account is right, the Moon’s sign is not in question.

What those hours would settle is everything hung on the horizon, and that is exactly why none of it appears on this page. The rest holds regardless: Pluto and Chiron between 0°25′ and 0°27′ from an exact opposition at every hour, four of the ten classical planets retrograde, and Uranus alone in a Fire sign.

How we know this chart

A published biography gives 7:45 in the evening. Penny Thornton, an astrologer who worked with Diana, says Diana corrected it herself, putting the birth in the early afternoon, before play began at Wimbledon. No time is asserted. The biography is linked below; Thornton’s account rests on her memory of a private conversation, with no document and no second witness.

Without a time, Undersky computes the sky across the whole of that day and never invents a Rising sign. Fast-moving bodies show their full range; aspects are labeled by whether they held all day. The same honest rules apply in the free calculator.

How the planets sit with each other

Aspects are the working relationships in a chart, listed tightest first. A smaller orb is a stronger contact. Contacts marked "part of the day" depend on the unknown birth time.

Tension

Squares and oppositions: friction that makes the engine turn.

Moon opposition Black Moon Lilith 0.1–10.9° part of the day
Venus square Uranus 0.3–1.2°· all day
Moon square Venus 0.4–10.7° part of the day
Pluto opposition Chiron 0.4–0.5° exact all day
Moon opposition Uranus 0.6–10.4° part of the day
Moon opposition North Node 2.1–16.9° part of the day
Jupiter square Neptune 3.5–3.6°· all day
Moon opposition Mars 4.1–18.3° part of the day
Moon square Neptune 4.2–19.0° part of the day

Flow

Trines and sextiles: what runs easily, sometimes too easily.

Sun trine Neptune 0.2–1.2°· all day
Mercury sextile Mars 1.4–2.5°· all day
Neptune trine Chiron 2.2°· all day
Sun trine Chiron 2.4–3.4° part of the day
Mercury sextile Pluto 2.4–2.9°· all day
Neptune sextile Pluto 2.6°· all day
Sun sextile Pluto 2.9–3.8°· all day
Mercury trine Chiron 2.9–3.3° part of the day
Venus trine Saturn 3.2–4.3°· all day
Moon trine Mercury 5.5–20.7° part of the day

Fused

Conjunctions: planets standing so close they act as one.

Mars conjunction North Node 1.4–2.0°· all day
Mars conjunction Pluto 4.3–4.9°· all day
Sun conjunction Mercury 5.3–6.7°· all day
Moon conjunction Jupiter 7.7–22.6° part of the day
