Bill Joy’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. Serious from early on: purpose and duty are one thing to him, and he treats his own life as work to be done well.

   The Sun conjunction Saturn (wide at 3.2°)

2. What he needs

   ☽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.

3. How he loves

   ♀Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee

   Loves intensely and loyally. Wants a close, honest bond and nothing less. Love comes with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where he stands.

   Venus square Pluto (almost exact at 0.5°)

4. How he thinks

   ☿Mercury in Libra, the Mediator

   A fair, sociable mind. Thinks best in conversation and dislikes a cruel word. Big ideas and loose details: he thinks on a large scale, and the small print is where things get away from him.

   Mercury square Jupiter (almost exact at 0.9°)

5. What drives him

   ♂Mars in Aquarius, the Rebel

   Independent and inventive in action. Fights for the group, the future and a fairer way. Drive with the brakes on: he wants to move, something holds him back, and the friction makes him tough.

   Mars square Saturn (almost exact at 0.4°)

6. The shape of his chart

   In his chart, his identity, his heart and his discipline (the Sun, Venus and Saturn) gather in Scorpio, and that part of life draws his attention first. No earth at all, so the practical, settled side is the one he has to find.
