Bernie Sanders’ birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he is

   ☉Sun in Virgo, the Fixer

   Sharp-eyed and quietly kind. Sees how a thing could work better and rolls up his sleeves to fix it. 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 (wide at 4.2°)

2. What he needs

   ☽Moon in Aries, the Quick Flame

   Feels things fast and hot, and gets over them fast too. Needs action, honesty and room to move. Good-hearted and generous: he feels looked after by life, and he passes that on.

   The Moon sextile Jupiter (almost exact at 0.7°)

3. How he loves

   ♀Venus in Libra, the Sweetheart

   Graceful, warm and drawn to harmony. Loves romance, beauty and a true partnership of equals. In love he wants tenderness and a chase at once, and his relationships are rarely calm.

   Venus opposition Mars (close at 1.4°)

4. How he thinks

   ☿Mercury in Libra, the Mediator

   Thinks in terms of fairness and sees both sides. Speaks with tact and grace. A quick, original mind: ideas arrive in flashes, and he sees answers others miss.

   Mercury trine Uranus (close at 2.3°)

5. What drives him

   ♂Mars in Aries, the Trailblazer

   Bold, fast and ready for a challenge. Charges at a goal and loves the thrill of starting. Big drive and big confidence: he goes after large goals, and his enthusiasm carries others along.

   Mars sextile Jupiter (wide at 3.9°)

6. The shape of his chart

   Jupiter is the hub of his chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so his optimism touches everything else in it. No water at all, so feelings come out in actions more than in words.
