Dean Martin’s birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he was

   ☉Sun in Gemini, the Messenger

   Lit up by ideas, people and the next good question. Happiest when there is something new to learn and someone to tell about it. Independence came easily: he did things his own way, and people found it refreshing rather than rude.

   The Sun trine Uranus (wide at 7.3°)

2. What he needed

   ☽Moon in Capricorn, the Steady Hand

   Steady, self-reliant and slow to show strain. Feels safe when there is a plan and something solid underfoot.

3. How he loved

   ♀Venus in Gemini, the Charmer

   Loves with words and wit. Needs a partner to talk with late into the night. He loved the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.

   Venus trine Uranus (wide at 4.0°)

4. How he thought

   ☿Mercury in Taurus, the Careful Thinker

   Thinks things through at his own pace. Practical, patient and very hard to talk out of a view. His mind ran ahead of the conversation: he said the unexpected thing, and not everyone was ready to hear it.

   Mercury square Uranus (exact at 0.0°)

5. What drove him

   ♂Mars in Taurus, the Stayer

   Slow and sure. He did not rush, and he was hard to push off course. Enthusiasm at full speed: he charged at life with confidence, and setbacks slowed him only briefly.

   Mars conjunction Jupiter (almost exact at 0.2°)

6. The shape of his chart

   In his chart, his mind, his drive and his optimism (Mercury, Mars and Jupiter) gather in Taurus, and that part of life drew his attention first. The weight of his chart sits in earth signs: the practical and the solid.
