Dick Van Dyke’s birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he is

   ☉Sun in Sagittarius, the Explorer

   Restless in the best way. Wants to see more, learn more and say exactly what is on his mind. He needs room to be himself, and any rule that fits too tightly gets broken.

   The Sun square Uranus (almost exact at 0.4°)

2. What he needs

   ☽Moon in Scorpio or Sagittarius, the Vault

   Still on the surface and strong underneath. Holds on to feelings, and to the people who earn them. His feelings and his imagination pull in different directions: he lives between what is real and what he longs for.

   The Moon square Neptune (almost exact at 0.8°) · For a birth after 10:24 p.m., his Moon was in Sagittarius.

3. How he loves

   ♀Venus in Aquarius, the Kindred Spirit

   Loves as a friend first. Values honesty, freedom and a partner who is fully his own person.

4. How he thinks

   ☿Mercury in Sagittarius, the Philosopher

   Thinks big and speaks frankly. Loves ideas, learning and talking about what things mean. What he knows and what he says need careful managing, and secrets sit uneasily with him.

   Mercury quincunx Pluto (close at 2.2°)

5. What drives him

   ♂Mars in Scorpio, the Strategist

   Intense, strategic and relentless. Keeps a goal close and doesn’t let it go. Controlled force: he works with patience and grit, and he finishes what he starts.

   Mars conjunction Saturn (almost exact at 0.7°)

6. The shape of his chart

   Saturn is the hub of his chart: it takes part in seven of its aspects, more than any other body, so his discipline touches everything else in it. Most of his planets are in water signs: feeling and intuition.
