Dale Earnhardt’s birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he was

   ☉Sun in Taurus, the Gardener

   Unhurried, warm and hard to rattle. Has a gift for comfort, beauty and making things that last. Independence came easily: he did things his own way, and people found it refreshing rather than rude.

   The Sun sextile Uranus (close at 2.2°)

2. What he needed

   ☽Moon in Aquarius, the Cool Head

   Needs freedom, friendship and room to think. Handles feelings by stepping back and making sense of them.

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 with depth and loyalty, and the bonds he formed changed both people.

   Venus sextile Pluto (almost exact at 0.6°)

4. How he thought

   ☿Mercury in Taurus, the Careful Thinker

   Thinks things through at his own pace. Practical, patient and very hard to talk out of a view. His mind and his identity were close together: he spoke as he thought, and his ideas were part of who he was.

   The Sun conjunction Mercury (wide at 7.3°)

5. What drove him

   ♂Mars in Taurus, the Stayer

   Slow and sure. He did not rush, and he was hard to push off course. A fierce will: he met opposition head on, and a fight brought out his full strength.

   Mars square Pluto (wide at 3.2°)

6. The shape of his chart

   In his chart, his identity, his mind and his drive (the Sun, Mercury and Mars) gather in Taurus, and that part of life drew his attention first. Most of his planets are in earth signs: the practical and the solid.
