Glenda Jackson’s birth chart

What her chart says about her

1. Who she was

   ☉Sun in Taurus, the Gardener

   Unhurried, warm and hard to rattle. Has a gift for comfort, beauty and making things that last. Purpose and patience worked as a team: she built slowly and got better with every year.

   The Sun sextile Saturn (close at 1.5°)

2. What she 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: she held herself to a high standard, even in private.

   The Moon square Saturn (almost exact at 0.5°)

3. How she loved

   ♀Venus in Taurus, the Keeper

   Slow to fall and slow to leave. Wants a love that feels safe, warm and real. Love at first sight, and freedom after it: the different and the new won her heart.

   Venus conjunction Uranus (close at 1.4°)

4. How she thought

   ☿Mercury in Gemini, the Quick Wit

   Fast, curious and funny. Thinks out loud and collects ideas from everywhere. Facts and dreams blurred together in her mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details mattered.

   Mercury square Neptune (wide at 4.3°)

5. What drove her

   ♂Mars in Taurus, the Stayer

   Steady, strong and very patient. She kept going long after others stopped. Stamina and willpower: she kept going long after others stopped, and she did her best work under pressure.

   Mars sextile Pluto (close at 1.9°)

6. The shape of her chart

   In her chart, her identity, her heart, her drive and her independence (the Sun, Venus, Mars and Uranus) gather in Taurus, and that part of life drew her attention first. Most of her planets are in earth signs: the practical and the solid.
