Frederick III, German Emperor’s birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he was

   ☉Sun in Libra, the Diplomat

   Fair, charming and good with people. Happiest when things are balanced, pleasant and calm. The self he knew and the image others saw drifted apart at times, and he worked to keep hold of the real one.

   The Sun square Neptune (close at 2.1°)

2. What he needed

   ☽Moon in Pisces, the Tide

   Feels the mood of a room from the doorway. Comfort comes from water, music, softness and kindness.

3. How he loved

   ♀Venus in Libra, the Sweetheart

   Graceful, warm and drawn to harmony. Loves romance, beauty and a true partnership of equals. Love came with high stakes: intense attachments, and a need to know exactly where he stood.

   Venus opposition Pluto (almost exact at 0.4°)

4. How he thought

   ☿Mercury in Libra, the Mediator

   Thinks in terms of fairness and sees both sides. Speaks with tact and grace. Words with charm in them: he had an ear for a beautiful phrase, and people liked listening to him.

   Mercury conjunction Venus (almost exact at 0.9°)

5. 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. Big drive and big confidence: he went after large goals, and his enthusiasm carried others along.

   Mars trine Jupiter (wide at 3.8°)

6. The shape of his chart

   In his chart, his identity, his mind, his heart and his drive (the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars) gather in Libra, and that part of life drew his attention first. In his chart, air signs hold the most planets: ideas and people.
