Bear Grylls’ birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he is

   ☉Sun in Gemini, the Messenger

   Quick, curious and good company. Collects facts, friends and stories, and can talk to anyone about almost anything. He reaches for more than one life can hold: big plans, big promises, and a habit of saying yes before counting the hours.

   The Sun square Jupiter (almost exact at 0.1°)

2. What he needs

   ☽Moon in Capricorn, the Steady Hand

   Steady, self-reliant and slow to show strain. Feels safe when there is a plan and something solid underfoot.

3. How he loves

   ♀Venus in Taurus, the Keeper

   Slow to fall and slow to leave. Wants a love that feels safe, warm and real. What he wants from love and what love gives him keep needing adjustment, and he learns to see people as they are.

   Venus quincunx Neptune (almost exact at 0.3°)

4. How he thinks

   ☿Mercury in Cancer, the Remembering Mind

   Thinks through feeling and memory. Listens well and remembers exactly how something was said. A graceful mind: he speaks kindly and well, and he knows how to say a hard thing gently.

   Mercury sextile Venus (close at 1.3°)

5. What drives him

   ♂Mars in Cancer, the Defender

   Driven by feeling. Goes the furthest for something personal, and guards home fiercely. Restless and quick to rebel: he pushes against limits, and sudden decisions come with the territory.

   Mars square Uranus (wide at 5.1°)

6. The shape of his chart

   In his chart, his mind, his drive and his discipline (Mercury, Mars and Saturn) gather in Cancer, and that part of life draws his attention first. The weight of his chart sits in water signs: feeling and intuition.
