Cory Doctorow’s birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he is

   ☉Sun in Cancer, the Protector

   Warm, loyal and fiercely caring. Happiest looking after the people who feel like family. His confidence comes easily and spreads: he thinks big, and other people want to come along.

   The Sun trine Jupiter (close at 2.2°)

2. What he needs

   ☽Moon in Taurus or Gemini, the Hearth

   Settled by simple, solid comforts: a good meal, a quiet evening, the same people year after year. His feelings run large: he wants more comfort, more company and more of everything than any one day gives.

   The Moon opposition Jupiter (almost exact at 0.6°) · For a birth after 6:47 p.m., his Moon was in Gemini.

3. How he loves

   ♀Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer

   Shows love by looking after people. Needs a partner who feels like a safe harbour. Love comes in sudden starts and stops: he falls for people quickly and needs room just as quickly.

   Venus square Uranus (wide at 3.3°)

4. How he thinks

   ☿Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller

   Speaks with flair and conviction. Thinks in bold strokes and tells a story everyone remembers. Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argues well, sometimes too well, and a debate is a kind of sport to him.

   Mercury opposition Mars (wide at 3.2°)

5. What drives him

   ♂Mars in Aquarius, the Rebel

   Driven by ideas and causes. Breaks with convention and pushes for something new. Aim and action run at different speeds, and he spends real effort keeping them in step.

   The Sun quincunx Mars (close at 2.7°)

6. The shape of his chart

   Jupiter is the hub of his chart: it takes part in six of its aspects, more than any other body, so his optimism touches everything else in it.
