What Einstein's map shows

Einstein's Big Three are a Pisces Sun in the 10th house, a Sagittarius Moon, and a Cancer Ascendant, with Mercury, Venus, and Saturn also in the 10th, the house of career and public standing.

Despite the popular story, the map doesn't put a line near Bern, Zurich, or Berlin. None of the six cities in Einstein's life has a line within 350 km; the closest is the Sun MC line, about 505 km east of Berlin.

That Sun MC line runs down the eastern edge of central Europe, 52 km from Belgrade and 106 km from Gdańsk. And the Venus DSC line passes 20 km from Kyoto; Einstein toured Japan for six weeks in 1922.
