Gerald Ford’s birth chart

What his chart says about him

1. Who he was

   ☉Sun in Cancer, the Protector

   Remembers birthdays, old jokes and who needed help. Loyalty runs deep, and so does the need to belong. His purpose and his drive worked together: once he decided on something, he moved on it fast.

   The Sun sextile Mars (close at 1.8°)

2. What he needed

   ☽Moon in Sagittarius, the Free Spirit

   Restless and good-humoured. Feels best with a plan for the next adventure and the freedom to change it. Feelings came second to duty: he held himself to a high standard, even in private.

   The Moon opposition Saturn (wide at 3.1°)

3. How he loved

   ♀Venus in Gemini, the Charmer

   Loves with words and wit. Needs a partner to talk with late into the night. He loved the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all his own.

   Venus trine Uranus (almost exact at 0.2°)

4. How he thought

   ☿Mercury in Leo, the Storyteller

   Speaks with flair and conviction. Thinks in bold strokes and tells a story everyone remembers. A patient, exact mind: he chose every word, and his thinking got sharper with practice.

   Mercury sextile Saturn (wide at 3.1°)

5. What drove him

   ♂Mars in Taurus, the Stayer

   Slow to start and impossible to stop. He worked steadily, built things to last and did not give up under pressure. Sharp words and a sharp mind: he argued well, sometimes too well, and a debate was a kind of sport to him.

   Mercury square Mars (wide at 3.5°)

6. The shape of his chart

   In his chart, his identity, his imagination and his intensity (the Sun, Neptune and Pluto) gather in Cancer, and that part of life drew his attention first.
