Albert Finney’s birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he was

   ☉Sun in Taurus, the Gardener

   Steady as bedrock. Takes time to decide, and once something is chosen, it is kept and looked after. Purpose and patience worked as a team: he built slowly and got better with every year.

   The Sun sextile Saturn (close at 1.5°)

2. What he needed

   ☽Moon in Sagittarius, the Free Spirit

   Restless and good-humoured. Feels best with a plan for the next adventure and the freedom to change it. Feelings came second to duty: he held himself to a high standard, even in private.

   The Moon square Saturn (almost exact at 0.5°)

3. How he loved

   ♀Venus in Taurus, the Keeper

   Slow to fall and slow to leave. Wants a love that feels safe, warm and real. Love at first sight, and freedom after it: the different and the new won his heart.

   Venus conjunction Uranus (close at 1.4°)

4. How he thought

   ☿Mercury in Gemini, the Quick Wit

   Fast, curious and funny. Thinks out loud and collects ideas from everywhere. Facts and dreams blurred together in his mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details mattered.

   Mercury square Neptune (wide at 4.3°)

5. What drove him

   ♂Mars in Taurus, the Stayer

   Slow and sure. He did not rush, and he was hard to push off course. Stamina and willpower: he kept going long after others stopped, and he did his best work under pressure.

   Mars sextile Pluto (close at 1.9°)

6. The shape of his chart

   In his chart, his identity, his heart, his drive and his independence (the Sun, Venus, Mars and Uranus) gather in Taurus, and that part of life drew his attention first. The weight of his chart sits in earth signs: the practical and the solid.
