David Carradine’s birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he was

   ☉Sun in Sagittarius, the Explorer

   Curious, honest and always after the next horizon: a trip, a big idea, a better answer. Self-belief came slowly and had to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counted.

   The Sun square Saturn (almost exact at 0.5°)

2. What he needed

   ☽Moon in Libra, the Peacemaker

   Feels most at peace when the people around him are at peace. Needs beauty, balance and someone to share things with.

3. How he loved

   ♀Venus in Capricorn, the Loyal Partner

   Careful with the heart and true once it is given. Shows love by being reliable year after year. Love came with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where he stood.

   Venus opposition Pluto (close at 1.8°)

4. How he thought

   ☿Mercury in Sagittarius, the Philosopher

   Thinks big and speaks frankly. Loves ideas, learning and talking about what things mean. What he knew and what he said needed careful managing, and secrets sat uneasily with him.

   Mercury quincunx Pluto (almost exact at 0.7°)

5. What drove him

   ♂Mars in Libra, the Negotiator

   Gets things done through people, charm and fairness. Prefers teamwork to a fight, and fights hardest for others. When to push and when to wait took constant judging, and he learned timing the hard way.

   Mars quincunx Saturn (close at 1.9°)

6. The shape of his chart

   The Sun is the hub of his chart: it takes part in four of its aspects, more than any other body, so his identity touched everything else in it. The weight of his chart sits in earth signs: the practical and the solid.
