Christopher Paolini’s birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he is

   ☉Sun in Scorpio, the Detective

   Intense, private and loyal. Wants the real story, not the polite one, and gives all or nothing. Funnier than people expect, and kinder in private than in public. His purpose and his drive work together: once he decides on something, he moves on it fast.

   The Sun sextile Mars (wide at 4.8°)

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 Libra, the Sweetheart

   Happiest as half of a well-matched pair. Brings charm, fairness and courtesy to love. He loves the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.

   Venus sextile Uranus (almost exact at 0.4°)

4. How he thinks

   ☿Mercury in Sagittarius, the Philosopher

   A wide-ranging mind. Learns by asking, travelling and following a question as far as it goes. He thinks in leaps: brilliant, contrary and quick to get bored with the obvious.

   Mercury conjunction Uranus (wide at 3.2°)

5. What drives him

   ♂Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson

   Works carefully and precisely. Gets results through skill and attention to detail. Drive and dreams mix uneasily: the goal is clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.

   Mars square Neptune (close at 1.9°)

6. The shape of his chart

   In his chart, his identity, his discipline and his intensity (the Sun, Saturn and Pluto) gather in Scorpio, and that part of life draws his attention first. In his chart, fire signs hold the most planets: instinct and enthusiasm.
