Donald Rumsfeld’s birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he was

   ☉Sun in Cancer, the Protector

   Tender under a careful shell. Makes a home anywhere and guards the people inside it. Intensity at the centre: he wanted the whole truth about everything, himself first, and he remade himself more than once to reach it.

   The Sun conjunction Pluto (wide at 4.3°)

2. What he needed

   ☽Moon in Virgo or Libra, the Mender

   Shows feeling in practical ways: a fixed problem, a remembered detail, a cup of tea at the right time.

   For a birth after 2:13 p.m., his Moon was in Libra.

3. How he loved

   ♀Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer

   Loves tenderly and protectively. Wants closeness, family and a feeling of belonging. He kept weighing pleasure against duty, and joy came once the work was done.

   Venus quincunx Saturn (close at 1.2°)

4. How he thought

   ☿Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller

   Speaks with flair and conviction. Thinks in bold strokes and tells a story everyone remembers. A quick, direct mind: he made decisions fast and said what he meant.

   Mercury sextile Mars (almost exact at 0.8°)

5. What drove him

   ♂Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker

   Quick, clever and busy. Gets things done through talk, ideas and juggling several jobs. Drive and dreams mixed uneasily: the goal was clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.

   Mars square Neptune (wide at 6.2°)

6. The shape of his chart

   In his chart, his identity, his heart and his intensity (the Sun, Venus and Pluto) gather in Cancer, and that part of life drew his attention first.
