Bernard-Henri Lévy’s birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he is

   ☉Sun in Scorpio, the Detective

   Private and powerful. Sees past the surface, keeps secrets well and does nothing halfway. Nothing about him is halfway: he insists on running his own life, and the struggle makes him formidable.

   The Sun square Pluto (wide at 3.5°)

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. What comforts him and what he loves are different things, so his heart and his moods keep negotiating.

   The Moon square Venus (close at 1.6°)

3. How he loves

   ♀Venus in Libra, the Sweetheart

   Happiest as half of a well-matched pair. Brings charm, fairness and courtesy to love. Love comes in sudden starts and stops: he falls for people quickly and needs room just as quickly.

   Venus square Uranus (wide at 4.9°)

4. How he thinks

   ☿Mercury in Libra, the Mediator

   Thinks in terms of fairness and sees both sides. Speaks with tact and grace. A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learns easily, tells a good story and sees the big picture.

   Mercury sextile Jupiter (wide at 3.7°)

5. What drives him

   ♂Mars in Sagittarius, the Champion

   Adventurous and principled. Throws himself behind big causes and what is right. He works for ideals: his drive comes alive for a cause, a role or a dream.

   Mars sextile Neptune (almost exact at 0.2°)

6. The shape of his chart

   In his chart, his mind, his heart and his imagination (Mercury, Venus and Neptune) gather in Libra, and that part of life draws his attention first.
