Aga Khan IV’s birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he was

   ☉Sun in Sagittarius, the Explorer

   Open, funny and frank. Chases meaning the way other people chase money, with a map half unfolded. The self he knew and the image others saw drifted apart at times, and he worked to keep hold of the real one.

   The Sun square Neptune (close at 2.3°)

2. What he needed

   ☽Moon in Sagittarius, the Free Spirit

   Needs room to roam and a reason to be hopeful. Shakes off a bad mood with a joke or a long walk. Feelings came second to duty: he held himself to a high standard, even in private.

   The Moon square Saturn (almost exact at 0.8°)

3. How he loved

   ♀Venus in Aquarius, the Kindred Spirit

   Loves as a friend first. Values honesty, freedom and a partner who is fully his own person. Love came with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where he stood.

   Venus opposition Pluto (wide at 3.8°)

4. How he thought

   ☿Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner

   Thinks practically and plans ahead. Speaks with authority and a dry sense of humour. A quick, original mind: ideas arrived in flashes, and he saw answers others missed.

   Mercury trine Uranus (close at 1.1°)

5. What drove him

   ♂Mars in Libra, the Negotiator

   Gets things done through people, charm and fairness. Prefers teamwork to a fight, and fights hardest for others. When to push and when to wait took constant judging, and he learned timing the hard way.

   Mars quincunx Saturn (almost exact at 0.6°)

6. The shape of his chart

   The weight of his chart sits in earth signs: the practical and the solid.
