What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Capricorn, the Architect
Responsible from an early age. Takes the climb seriously and has a dry humour that comes out once the work is done. His confidence came easily and spread: he thought big, and other people wanted to come along.
The Sun sextile Jupiter (almost exact at 0.6°)
What he needed
Moon in Pisces or Aquarius, the Tide
Feels the mood of a room from the doorway. Comfort comes from water, music, softness and kindness.
For a birth before 1:18 a.m., his Moon was in Aquarius.
How he loved
Venus in Capricorn or Aquarius, the Loyal Partner
Loves seriously and steadily. Shows love through commitment and reliability. Love came in sudden starts and stops: he fell for people quickly and needed room just as quickly.
Venus square Uranus (close at 2.2°) · For a birth after 4:44 p.m., his Venus was in Aquarius.
How he thought
Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner
Practical, measured and dryly funny. Trusts experience over theory and gets to the point. His words had force: he spoke to persuade, and he kept his own counsel until the right moment.
Mercury opposition Pluto (close at 2.3°)
What drove him
Mars in Libra, the Negotiator
Gets things done through people, charm and fairness. Prefers teamwork to a fight, and fights hardest for others. He fought hard for what he wanted, and his temper was part of his courage.
The Sun square Mars (wide at 4.6°)
The shape of his chart
Pluto is the hub of his chart: it takes part in six of its aspects, more than any other body, so his intensity touched everything else in it. The weight of his chart sits in earth signs: the practical and the solid.
The sky the day he was born
The Moon
Elvis Presley was born four days after a new Moon. At noon that day the Moon was 17% lit. Tonight’s Moon
The day
