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. Nothing about him was halfway: he insisted on running his own life, and the struggle made him formidable.
The Sun square Pluto (wide at 7.0°)
What he needed
Moon in Virgo, the Mender
Settles worry by doing something useful. Needs order, routine and a job done well. He loved hard and held on hard, and letting go took him a long time.
The Moon square Pluto (close at 1.4°)
How he loved
Venus in Aquarius, the Kindred Spirit
Loves as a friend first. Values honesty, freedom and a partner who is fully his own person. Serious about love: he gave affection slowly, and once given, it stayed given.
Venus conjunction Saturn (wide at 6.0°)
How he thought
Mercury in Aquarius, the Inventor
Original and future-minded. Thinks in systems and finds new ways to do old things. A probing mind: he got to the bottom of things, and his words had power when he chose to use them.
Mercury trine Pluto (wide at 3.9°)
What drove him
Mars in Aries, the Trailblazer
Pure forward motion. Brave, competitive and happiest in the middle of the action. Drive and dreams mixed uneasily: the goal was clear to him, and the way to it harder to see.
Mars square Neptune (almost exact at 0.3°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his mind, his heart and his discipline (Mercury, Venus and Saturn) gather in Aquarius, and that part of life drew his attention first. The weight of his chart sits in air signs: ideas and people.
The sky the day he was born
The Moon
Dr. Seuss was born the day after a full Moon. At noon that day the Moon was 99% lit, in Virgo. Tonight’s Moon
The day
It was a Wednesday, eighteen days before the March equinox.
Saturn return
For Dr. Seuss, Saturn came back to where it stood at his birth in 1963, at 58: his second Saturn return, after the first in 1933 and 1934. When is yours?
