What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Cancer, the Protector
Warm, loyal and fiercely caring. Happiest looking after the people who feel like family. Optimism at the centre of him: he expected things to go well, and that confidence won people over.
The Sun conjunction Jupiter (close at 1.6°)
What he needed
Moon in Gemini or Cancer, the Talker
Light on his feet emotionally. Feels at home in a good conversation and gets restless in silence.
For a birth after 6:55 p.m., his Moon was in Cancer.
How he loved
Venus in Gemini, the Charmer
Falls for a clever mind. Needs conversation, laughter and variety in love. Words with charm in them: he had an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people liked listening to him.
Mercury conjunction Venus (exact at 0.0°)
How he thought
Mercury in Gemini, the Quick Wit
Fast, curious and funny. Thinks out loud and collects ideas from everywhere. His mind ran ahead of the conversation: he said the unexpected thing, and not everyone was ready to hear it.
Mercury square Uranus (almost exact at 0.1°)
What drove him
Mars in Taurus, the Stayer
Slow and sure. He did not rush, and he was hard to push off course. Action guided by imagination: he moved on instinct and feeling, and he gave his all to a vision.
Mars conjunction Neptune (wide at 4.6°)
The shape of his chart
Uranus is the hub of his chart: it takes part in four of its aspects, more than any other body, so his independence touched everything else in it. No fire at all, so the bold first move came by choice rather than by instinct.
The sky the day he was born
The Moon
Franz Kafka was born the day before a new Moon. At noon that day the Moon was 2% lit. Tonight’s Moon
The day
It was a Tuesday, eleven days after the June solstice.
Saturn return
For Franz Kafka, Saturn came back to where it stood at his birth in 1913, at 29: his first Saturn return. When is yours?
