What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Pisces, the Dreamer
Imaginative, gentle and very aware of how others feel. People leave a conversation with him feeling understood. His confidence came easily and spread: he thought big, and other people wanted to come along.
The Sun trine Jupiter (almost exact at 0.6°)
What he needed
Moon in Libra or Scorpio, the Peacemaker
Unsettled by conflict and soothed by kindness. Needs good company and a sense that things are fair.
For a birth after 8:03 p.m., his Moon was in Scorpio.
How he loved
Venus in Pisces, the Tender Heart
Gentle, devoted and full of feeling. Wants a love with a little magic in it. He loved the dream of a person, and the real one had to compete with it.
Venus square Neptune (wide at 4.4°)
How he thought
Mercury in Aries, the Spark
Quick to answer and quick to decide. Says what is on his mind, and gets to the idea first. He thought in pictures and music: his words carried a mood, and his imagination gave his ideas colour.
Mercury trine Neptune (wide at 5.6°)
What drove him
Mars in Capricorn, the Achiever
Determined, controlled and built for the long climb. Works patiently toward the top. Drive and hope kept going in slightly different directions, and he aimed again and again.
Mars quincunx Jupiter (close at 2.3°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his identity, his heart and his intensity (the Sun, Venus and Pluto) gather in Pisces, and that part of life drew his attention first. Most of his planets are in water signs: feeling and intuition.
The sky the day he was born
The Moon
David Livingstone was born two days after a full Moon. At noon that day the Moon was 94% lit. Tonight’s Moon
