Federico García Lorca’s birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he was

   ☉Sun in Gemini, the Messenger

   Quick, curious and good company. Collects facts, friends and stories, and can talk to anyone about almost anything. 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 (almost exact at 0.6°)

2. What he needed

   ☽Moon in Sagittarius or Capricorn, the Free Spirit

   Needs room to roam and a reason to be hopeful. Shakes off a bad mood with a joke or a long walk. His feelings turned straight into action: when something mattered, he did something about it.

   The Moon trine Mars (almost exact at 0.7°) · For a birth after 3:22 p.m., his Moon was in Capricorn.

3. How he loved

   ♀Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer

   Shows love by looking after people. Needs a partner who feels like a safe harbour.

4. How he thought

   ☿Mercury in Taurus, the Careful Thinker

   A steady, sensible mind. Learns by doing and remembers what was learned.

5. What drove him

   ♂Mars in Aries, the Trailblazer

   Pure forward motion. Brave, competitive and happiest in the middle of the action. Drive and hope kept going in slightly different directions, and he aimed again and again.

   Mars quincunx Jupiter (close at 1.9°)

6. The shape of his chart

   In his chart, his identity, his imagination and his intensity (the Sun, Neptune and Pluto) gather in Gemini, and that part of life drew his attention first. Most of his planets are in fire and air signs: instinct and enthusiasm, and ideas and people.
