Damien Hirst’s birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he is

   ☉Sun in Gemini, the Messenger

   Quick, curious and good company. Collects facts, friends and stories, and can talk to anyone about almost anything. Self-belief comes slowly and has to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counts.

   The Sun square Saturn (almost exact at 0.4°)

2. What he needs

   ☽Moon in Virgo or Libra, the Mender

   Feels calm when things are in order and useful. Shows care through small, practical help. What comforts him and what he loves are different things, so his heart and his moods keep negotiating.

   The Moon square Venus (close at 2.8°) · For a birth after 2:30 p.m., his Moon was in Libra.

3. How he loves

   ♀Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer

   Loves tenderly and protectively. Wants closeness, family and a feeling of belonging.

4. How he thinks

   ☿Mercury in Gemini, the Quick Wit

   A restless, clever mind. Loves words, news and the fun of a good exchange. His mind runs ahead of the conversation: he says the unexpected thing, and not everyone is ready to hear it.

   Mercury square Uranus (almost exact at 0.3°)

5. What drives him

   ♂Mars in Virgo, the Craftsperson

   Diligent and exact. Puts effort into doing a thing properly, step by careful step. He works for ideals: his drive comes alive for a cause, a role or a dream.

   Mars sextile Neptune (close at 2.2°)

6. The shape of his chart

   In his chart, his identity, his mind and his optimism (the Sun, Mercury and Jupiter) gather in Gemini, and that part of life draws his attention first. No fire at all, so the bold first move comes by choice rather than by instinct.
