What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Scorpio, the Detective
Intense, private and loyal. Wants the real story, not the polite one, and gives all or nothing. Funnier than people expect, and kinder in private than in public. Purpose and patience worked as a team: he built slowly and got better with every year.
The Sun trine Saturn (almost exact at 0.7°)
What he needed
Moon in Leo, the Warm Heart
Wears his heart where people can see it. Needs warmth, praise and a little attention, and gives all three back. The self he showed the world and the self he came home to wanted different things, and he made room for both.
The Sun square the Moon (close at 1.1°)
How he loved
Venus in Sagittarius, the Adventurer
Loves freedom, laughter and shared adventures. Wants a partner who is also a travel companion. Charm and desire worked together: he knew what he wanted in love and how to win it.
Venus trine Mars (wide at 4.2°)
How he thought
Mercury in Scorpio, the Investigator
A penetrating mind. Reads people well, speaks carefully and can tell when something is being hidden. His mind and his identity were close together: he spoke as he thought, and his ideas were part of who he was.
The Sun conjunction Mercury (wide at 8.9°)
What drove him
Mars in Leo, the Leader
Confident, dramatic and courageous. Puts heart into every effort and likes to lead from the front. 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 0.8°)
The sky the day he was born
The Moon
Ezra Pound was born seven days after a full Moon. At noon that day the Moon was 49% lit, in Leo. Tonight’s Moon
The day
