David Ogden Stiers’ birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he was

   ☉Sun in Scorpio, the Detective

   Private and powerful. Sees past the surface, keeps secrets well and does nothing halfway. Nothing about him was halfway: he insisted on running his own life, and the struggle made him formidable.

   The Sun square Pluto (almost exact at 0.4°)

2. What he needed

   ☽Moon in Leo or Cancer, the Warm Heart

   Wears his heart where people can see it. Needs warmth, praise and a little attention, and gives all three back. He picked up what others felt before a word was said, and his compassion reached far.

   The Moon sextile Neptune (almost exact at 0.6°) · For a birth before 8:49 a.m., his Moon was in Cancer.

3. How he loved

   ♀Venus in Scorpio, the Devotee

   Loves fiercely, privately and for keeps. Wants complete trust and a bond that goes beneath the surface. Affection and independence needed constant trading off, and he kept renegotiating the terms of his relationships.

   Venus quincunx Uranus (almost exact at 0.1°)

4. How he thought

   ☿Mercury in Libra, the Mediator

   A fair, sociable mind. Thinks best in conversation and dislikes a cruel word. Big ideas and loose details: he thought on a large scale, and the small print was where things got away from him.

   Mercury square Jupiter (wide at 4.6°)

5. What drove him

   ♂Mars in Libra, the Negotiator

   Persuasive rather than forceful. Wins people over and stands up hardest for what is fair. Quick feelings and a quick temper: he reacted first, and his courage came from the same place as his flashes of anger.

   The Moon square Mars (close at 2.4°)

6. The shape of his chart

   In his chart, his mind, his drive and his imagination (Mercury, Mars and Neptune) gather in Libra, and that part of life drew his attention first. No earth at all, so the practical, settled side was the one he had to find.
