Damian Lewis’ birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he is

   ☉Sun in Aquarius, the Free Thinker

   Independent, inventive and quietly idealistic. Asks why things are done this way and imagines a better one. Self-belief comes slowly and has to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counts.

   The Sun square Saturn (wide at 5.8°)

2. What he needs

   ☽Moon in Virgo or Leo, the Mender

   Shows feeling in practical ways: a fixed problem, a remembered detail, a cup of tea at the right time. His feelings run large: he wants more comfort, more company and more of everything than any one day gives.

   The Moon square Jupiter (almost exact at 0.4°) · For a birth before 2:58 a.m., his Moon was in Leo.

3. How he loves

   ♀Venus in Capricorn, the Loyal Partner

   Careful with the heart and true once it is given. Shows love by being reliable year after year. He puts people at ease without trying: kindness and charm come from the same place.

   The Moon trine Venus (close at 2.0°)

4. How he thinks

   ☿Mercury in Aquarius, the Inventor

   An inventive, independent mind. Sees patterns others miss and questions the usual way of doing things. A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learns easily, tells a good story and sees the big picture.

   Mercury sextile Jupiter (close at 1.4°)

5. What drives him

   ♂Mars in Sagittarius, the Champion

   Adventurous and principled. Throws himself behind big causes and what is right. Quick and inventive in action: he moves fast, breaks with habit and makes sudden changes work.

   Mars sextile Uranus (close at 1.1°)

6. The shape of his chart

   In his chart, his drive, his optimism and his imagination (Mars, Jupiter and Neptune) gather in Sagittarius, and that part of life draws his attention first. No water at all, so feelings come out in actions more than in words.
