There are souls who seem to arrive already knowing the language of the eternal, and Johann Sebastian Bach was surely one of them. Born into a long line of German musicians in 1685, orphaned by ten and raised by an elder brother, he grew into the towering figure of the late Baroque, the mind behind the Brandenburg Concertos, the Cello Suites, the Goldberg Variations, The Well-Tempered Clavier, the St Matthew Passion and the Mass in B minor. Through decades of church and court posts in Weimar, Kothen and finally as cantor at St Thomas's in Leipzig, he poured out cantatas, fugues and chorales without pause.
His Sun sits in Aries, the pioneer among pioneers, the self-starter who leads and never backs down; here is the tireless initiator who reinvented German music through sheer relentless drive and cast a light that would outlast him. Yet his Moon rests in Pisces, that sponge of a moon, the ultimate empath tuned to the God, the spirit, the source. This is divine-level imagination, downloads from the universe made audible. In Bach the warrior's fire and the mystic's ocean met, and from that meeting rose some of the most sacred sound the West has ever known.

A symbolic image for every placement in this natal chart. Each of the zodiac's 360 degrees carries its own Sabian symbol: a scene clairvoyantly divined in 1925 by the medium Elsie Wheeler, who perceived an image for every single degree in one sitting. Whichever planet falls on a degree takes on the colour of that symbol. Pick an art style, and click any image to enlarge it and read its symbol.
