António de Oliveira Salazar’s birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he was

   ☉Sun in Taurus, the Gardener

   Unhurried, warm and hard to rattle. Has a gift for comfort, beauty and making things that last. His confidence came easily and spread: he thought big, and other people wanted to come along.

   The Sun trine Jupiter (almost exact at 0.1°)

2. What he needed

   ☽Moon in Aries, the Quick Flame

   Feels in bursts, honestly and all at once. Hates sitting still with a mood, and needs a way to act on it. His moods changed without warning, and he wanted closeness and room to breathe at the same time.

   The Moon opposition Uranus (close at 1.4°)

3. How he loved

   ♀Venus in Taurus, the Keeper

   Loves with patience, touch and loyalty. Shows it in comfort, good food and being there year after year. Words with charm in them: he had an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people liked listening to him.

   Mercury conjunction Venus (almost exact at 0.3°)

4. How he thought

   ☿Mercury in Taurus, the Careful Thinker

   A steady, sensible mind. Learns by doing and remembers what was learned. He doubted his own ideas before anyone else could, and so he checked every one twice.

   Mercury square Saturn (close at 1.4°)

5. What drove him

   ♂Mars in Taurus, the Stayer

   Slow to start and impossible to stop. He worked steadily, built things to last and did not give up under pressure.

6. The shape of his chart

   In his chart, his identity, his mind, his heart and his drive (the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars) gather in Taurus, and that part of life drew his attention first. No water at all, so feelings came out in actions more than in words.
