Aki Kaurismäki’s birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he is

   ☉Sun in Aries, the Pioneer

   Direct, brave and impatient with waiting. At his best with a fresh start and a door nobody has opened yet. Purpose and patience work as a team: he builds slowly and gets better with every year.

   The Sun trine Saturn (almost exact at 0.2°)

2. What he needs

   ☽Moon in Gemini or Taurus, the Talker

   Feels better after talking it through. Needs conversation, variety and something interesting to think about.

   For a birth before 9:31 a.m., his Moon was in Taurus.

3. How he loves

   ♀Venus in Aries, the Chaser

   Falls fast and loves the chase. Wants passion, honesty and a partner who keeps up. Charm and desire work together: he knows what he wants in love and how to win it.

   Venus sextile Mars (almost exact at 0.8°)

4. How he thinks

   ☿Mercury in Aries, the Spark

   A sharp, impatient mind. Cuts straight to the point and likes a good argument. A probing mind: he gets to the bottom of things, and his words have power when he chooses to use them.

   Mercury trine Pluto (almost exact at 0.8°)

5. What drives him

   ♂Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker

   Busy, versatile and sharp. Gets moving through talk, travel and a steady supply of new plans. Drive with the brakes on: he wants to move, something holds him back, and the friction makes him tough.

   Mars opposition Saturn (wide at 3.2°)

6. The shape of his chart

   In his chart, his identity, his mind and his heart (the Sun, Mercury and Venus) gather in Aries, and that part of life draws his attention first. Most of his planets are in fire signs: instinct and enthusiasm.
