George Wallace’s birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he was

   ☉Sun in Virgo, the Fixer

   Sharp-eyed and quietly kind. Sees how a thing could work better and rolls up his sleeves to fix it. Serious from early on: purpose and duty were one thing to him, and he treated his own life as work to be done well.

   The Sun conjunction Saturn (almost exact at 0.2°)

2. What he needed

   ☽Moon in Virgo or Leo, the Mender

   Shows feeling in practical ways: a fixed problem, a remembered detail, a cup of tea at the right time. Self-contained: he kept his feelings in order, and he gave comfort in practical ways rather than in words.

   The Moon conjunction Saturn (almost exact at 0.5°) · For a birth before 8:08 a.m., his Moon was in Leo.

3. How he loved

   ♀Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic

   Shows love through care, help and attention to small things. Affection and independence needed constant trading off, and he kept renegotiating the terms of his relationships.

   Venus quincunx Uranus (close at 2.6°)

4. How he thought

   ☿Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller

   Confident, warm and persuasive. Likes an audience and has the words to keep one. A poet’s mind: he heard what went unsaid, and his best ideas came from somewhere hard to explain.

   Mercury conjunction Neptune (wide at 6.7°)

5. What drove him

   ♂Mars in Leo, the Leader

   Full of fire and pride. Works hardest for a cause close to his heart and wants the effort to be seen. Effort and restlessness kept catching each other off guard, and his plans changed at short notice.

   Mars quincunx Uranus (close at 1.9°)

6. The shape of his chart

   Uranus is the hub of his chart: it takes part in six of its aspects, more than any other body, so his independence touched everything else in it. Most of his planets are in fire and earth signs: instinct and enthusiasm, and the practical and the solid.
