Charlie Watts’ birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he was

   ☉Sun in Gemini, the Messenger

   Lit up by ideas, people and the next good question. Happiest when there is something new to learn and someone to tell about it. He fought hard for what he wanted, and his temper was part of his courage.

   The Sun square Mars (exact at 0.0°)

2. What he needed

   ☽Moon in Virgo or Leo, the Mender

   Feels calm when things are in order and useful. Shows care through small, practical help. Feeling and thought spoke the same language: he could put a mood into words, and his words carried feeling.

   The Moon sextile Mercury (almost exact at 0.5°) · For a birth before 2:39 a.m., his Moon was in Leo.

3. How he loved

   ♀Venus in Gemini, the Charmer

   Loves with words and wit. Needs a partner to talk with late into the night. He loved the dream of a person, and the real one had to compete with it.

   Venus square Neptune (close at 1.8°)

4. How he thought

   ☿Mercury in Cancer, the Remembering Mind

   A mind tuned to people. Hears what sits under the words and answers it gently. A quick, direct mind: he made decisions fast and said what he meant.

   Mercury trine Mars (wide at 6.7°)

5. What drove him

   ♂Mars in Pisces, the Gentle Warrior

   Gentle on the surface and quietly strong. Works best for a cause worth believing in.

6. The shape of his chart

   In his chart, his identity, his heart and his optimism (the Sun, Venus and Jupiter) gather in Gemini, and that part of life drew his attention first. In his chart, earth signs hold the most planets: the practical and the solid.
